Split: Blue Lagoon & 3 Islands Speedboat Tour

Three Islands in Half a Day: Speedboat from Split to the Blue Lagoon

You board a speedboat in Split and visit three distinct stops: the medieval UNESCO town of Trogir, the turquoise Blue Lagoon on Veli Drvenik where you snorkel, and Likva Bay on Brač Island with lunch and drinks at a beachfront club. The tour handles all transport, snorkeling gear and safety equipment, and runs about four to five hours round-trip from the city center.

The experience

The boat pulls away from Split's waterfront and accelerates into open water, the Dalmatian coast dropping behind you as the engine settles into a steady hum. You're heading toward Trogir first: a medieval town founded by Greek colonists in the third century B.C., now a UNESCO World Heritage site wedged onto a small island a few miles north. The speedboat cuts through the Adriatic in maybe twenty minutes, and when you arrive, the narrow stone streets of Trogir open up with a mix of Renaissance, Baroque and Romanesque facades that locals call "the Stone Beauty." You'll have time to walk through the old town, duck into a café, or just stand in the squares and feel how little has changed in centuries.

After Trogir, the boat turns southeast toward the real draw: the Blue Lagoon on the east coast of Veli Drvenik. The water here shifts from deep blue to something almost unreal: a tropical turquoise that looks photoshopped until you're floating in it. Snorkeling gear is included, and the visibility is usually good enough to see down past the sandy bottom. There's no crowded beach or resort here, just the lagoon itself, the kind of place that makes you understand why people come back to Croatia. You'll spend a solid hour in the water, and the crew keeps an eye on everyone, making sure nobody drifts too far.

The final stop is Likva Bay on Brač Island, where the Amaya Beach Club sits right on the shore. This is where the pace slows down. You can order a Mediterranean lunch, grab a cold drink, or just stretch out and watch the limestone cliffs that Brač is famous for. The bay was once a shelter for local fishermen. Now it's the kind of place where you actually sit still for a bit. The whole tour runs about four to five hours from the moment you leave Split, and by the time you're heading back, you've hit three very different stops without having to arrange transport, figure out ferries, or worry about timing.

Weather or seasonal conditions sometimes mean one stop gets swapped (the fishing village of Maslinica on Šolta or a beach bar on Čiovo might replace one of the planned islands), but the boat and the crew adjust the route to keep the experience safe and solid. You get safety equipment, snorkeling goggles, and water throughout the day. If you're staying in Split and want to see the best of Central Dalmatia without renting a car or piecing together a day yourself, this is the straightforward way to do it.
