Split, Blue Lagoon & 3 Islands Speedboat Tour Small Group

Summary

Blue Lagoon swimming, Trogir strolls & Šolta island lunch from Split

You’ll zip across turquoise waters from Split to Trogir’s ancient lanes, swim in the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon with snorkeling gear provided, and unwind on peaceful Šolta island—maybe with fresh seafood or just your toes in the sea. With a small group and local crew handling everything (even cold drinks), it’s easy to just soak up every moment.

What’s the experience like?

I still remember the jolt of the speedboat leaving Split — that slap of salty air, a bit colder than I expected for June. There were just nine of us plus Luka, our guide, who had this way of steering with one hand and pointing out islands with the other. First stop was Trogir. I’d seen photos but didn’t realize how tight those stone streets really are. We wandered past a guy selling figs out of a basket (he let me try one, sticky-sweet) and Luka told us the cathedral bell tower is older than most countries. I lost track of time just watching old men play cards in the shade.

The Blue Lagoon was next — it’s called Krknjaši Bay if you want to sound local, but honestly I could barely pronounce it. The water there is so clear you can see your own toes even when you’re floating. I borrowed snorkel gear from the boat crew (they just handed it over with a grin) and swam out until everything went quiet except for my own breathing and some distant laughter from another group. Sun felt sharp on my shoulders but I didn’t care. There’s a tiny bar on the shore where we got something cold — can’t remember what it was called, but it tasted like summer.

Šolta was our last stop, and by then everyone was sun-drunk and slow-moving. The pebbles on the beach are round enough not to hurt your feet too much if you forget water shoes (I did). Some folks grabbed seafood at a restaurant right by the water; I just sat with my legs dangling off the dock watching little silver fish dart around. Luka chatted with an old fisherman who waved at us — no idea what they said but both laughed so hard I wanted in on the joke. Heading back to Split, hair tangled and skin salty, it felt like we’d been gone longer than half a day. Still think about that light over Šolta sometimes.
