Split/Trogir: Blue Lagoon and 3 Islands Speedboat Tour

Exploring Croatia’s beautiful Dalmatian coast on a speedboat tour is one of those experiences that sticks with you. This particular trip from Split or Trogir offers a lively, fast-paced way to soak up some of the most picturesque spots in the area — all in a half-day. It’s especially appealing for travelers who want a good mix of sightseeing, swimming, and excitement without the hassle of a full-day commitment.

What we love about this tour is its balance of laid-back charm and adrenaline. First, the stops are thoughtfully chosen: a UNESCO-listed old town, the stunning Blue Lagoon, and a quaint fishing village. Second, the guides and crew are consistently praised for their knowledge, friendliness, and fun vibe — which can turn a simple boat ride into a highlight of your trip.

This tour suits travelers looking for an active, scenic, and social experience. If you love exploring small towns, snorkeling in clear waters, and feeling the breeze on your face, this will likely be a hit.

The ride itself is a highlight — many reviews mention how exhilarating and lively the boat trip is, with music and a fast pace that gets your adrenaline going.

The UNESCO-Listed Town of Trogir

Your first stop is the charming town of Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s packed with history and character.

The Blue Lagoon: Swimming and Snorkeling Paradise

Next, it’s time for the Blue Lagoon, a spot renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise waters. Here, you can snorkel with provided gear, swim in the calm waters, or just lounge on the boat deck soaking up the sun. Many reviews highlight how beautiful and peaceful the Blue Lagoon is, with some even describing it as “pure perfection.”

One traveler shared, “The water wasn’t warm enough for me to swim, but others took a dip. It’s a picture-perfect spot that makes you forget your worries.” The surrounding pebble beach, bordered by pine trees, adds to its natural charm. Keep an eye out for dolphins — some groups have spotted them on the way back, turning an already memorable trip into a magical animal encounter.

Visiting Maslinica and Other Islands

The tour also makes a stop at the fishing village of Maslinica — a quiet, authentic spot that offers a glimpse into local life. You’ll have time here for more swimming or just wandering around the small harbor. Several reviews mention how relaxing and charming Maslinica is, making it an ideal place to unwind and snap a few photos.

If you opt for the lunch or cocktails, most stops have options to indulge at beach clubs or cafes, though these are at your own expense. The Laganini Beach Club is a popular choice among travelers who want to enjoy refreshing drinks with a view.
