Trogir Blue Lagoon & Šolta Island Tour with Lunch & Drinks

Summary

Blue Lagoon swimming, Šolta island lunch and slow village coffee

You’ll float in Croatia’s famous Blue Lagoon near Trogir, snorkel among bright fish, eat grilled lunch under shady pines, and sip coffee in quiet Maslinica village on Šolta island. With pickup included and a local guide keeping things relaxed, it’s less about rushing and more about soaking up every small detail along the way.

What’s the experience like?

It started with a grin from our skipper as he handed out the first round of cold drinks — I think mine was some kind of local white wine, crisp and a little salty. We left Trogir behind with the boat humming and everyone sort of settling into their own spot. The sea was that unreal shade of blue you get around here, but it’s not just the color — it’s the smell too, like sun-warmed salt and pine needles drifting over from Drvenik Veliki. I tried to say “Krknjaši” like our guide Li did, but she laughed and said it was close enough.

The Blue Lagoon itself is exactly what people say — clear water you can see your toes in, with tiny silver fish darting around if you bother to look down while floating. I borrowed a mask (they had plenty onboard) and drifted for ages, half-listening to someone’s playlist mixing with the sound of kids splashing near the rocks. Lunch came just when I’d started to feel hungry: grilled fish (I think it was bream?), fresh bread, tomatoes that actually tasted like tomatoes. We sat under these old pine trees at a beach bar where the shade felt cooler than anywhere else on earth. There was more wine if you wanted it — maybe too much for me at noon.

After another short cruise we docked at Maslinica on Šolta island. It’s small — one main street lined with stone houses and sleepy cats stretched out in doorways. Two hours felt both long and short; enough time for coffee at a café where the owner nodded hello but didn’t rush us at all. Some folks wandered off to explore or grab ice cream. I ended up just watching locals chat outside the bakery while church bells rang somewhere behind me. The pace is different here — slower in a way that makes you notice things like faded shutters or how everyone seems to know each other.

On the way back toward Trogir they passed around chilled fruit — watermelon slices sticky on my fingers, sweet after all that saltwater. The sun was lower by then and there was this easy silence on board except for someone quietly pointing out Čiovo island as we cruised past Duga Bay. I still think about that lazy afternoon light sometimes; it made everything feel softer somehow.
