Speedboat Blue Lagoon & 3 Islands tour from Trogir

The best part of this Trogir boat trip is the mix of clear-water swimming stops and small island towns. You get four different settings in one day: White Lagoon on Drvenik Mali, the fishing village of Drvenik Veli, Maslinica on Šolta, and the famous Blue Lagoon.

I like the small group, with no more than 10 people, and I like that the skipper can shape the day around the group. Skipper Tomo is singled out for being friendly and attentive. The main thing to weigh is the long day on the water: lunch costs extra, hotel pickup is not provided, and the tour depends on good weather.

Key points to know before booking

• White Lagoon starts the day with swimming and snorkeling in clear water beside a sandy beach on Drvenik Mali.
• Drvenik Veli gives the tour a local feel, with time for coffee, a short walk, or a swim near the village.
• Maslinica is your lunch and sightseeing stop, with old parts of town to explore on Šolta.
• Blue Lagoon finishes the route, giving you another hour for swimming and snorkeling in Krknjaši Bay.
• The boat holds a maximum of 10 people, a major advantage over large excursion boats.
• The $84.48 price includes fuel, taxes, the speedboat, and an English-speaking skipper, but not lunch or transport to the meeting point.

A full day from Trogir, with four very different stops

This is not a single beach outing. It is a full circuit through the waters around Trogir, with enough time at each stop to swim, walk, eat, or simply sit by the sea.

The boat leaves at 8:40 am from Blue Lagoon Trogir Boat Tours on Obala bana Berislavića. The activity lasts about eight hours and returns to the same place. That timing matters if you are planning other activities in Trogir, since this trip takes up nearly the whole day.

The small boat is the heart of the experience. A maximum of 10 people means you avoid the feel of a packed sightseeing vessel. You also have a better chance of speaking with the skipper and making a simple request, such as spending more time in the water or taking a little longer in town. The boat is described as comfortable, with fuel and taxes included in the price.

I would still set realistic expectations. A speedboat gives you more time at the stops, but the ride itself can be active. If you prefer a slow cruise with lots of shade and room to move around, a larger boat may feel easier. This trip is aimed at people who want to get from place to place quickly and spend most of the day outside.

White Lagoon on Drvenik Mali: an easy first swim

The opening stop is Drvenik Mali, at the place described as White Lagoon. This is the first chance to get into the water, and you have about one hour for swimming and snorkeling.

The appeal is simple: clear seawater and a sandy beach. That gives the stop a softer start than a rocky swimming cove, especially if you want to ease into the day. The clean water also suits anyone who wants to look below the surface with a mask and snorkel.

You should think of this as a swim stop, not a guided nature lesson. No special snorkeling equipment or instruction is listed, so bring or confirm what you need before setting out. The time is free, and admission is included.

The route information also labels this opening location as Vela Rina in one place, while the stop description identifies Drvenik Mali and White Lagoon. If the exact beach name matters to you, clarify it with Trogir Travel before departure. The useful point is that the morning begins at a clear-water beach with about an hour for swimming and snorkeling.

Drvenik Veli: coffee and a look at island life

After the first swim, the boat continues to Veliki Drvenik, also called Drvenik Veli. You get about one hour and 40 minutes, the longest stop in the first half of the day.

This is a pleasant change of pace. Instead of staying at the water, you can look around a small fishing village and get a sense of ordinary island life. The stop includes time for a short coffee break and sightseeing, and beaches near the center give you another chance to swim if you wish.

I like this part because it keeps the trip from becoming a string of identical swim stops. The islands are not only backdrops for photographs. You get a little time to see how people live in a smaller coastal settlement, even if the visit remains brief.

Do not expect a large town packed with sights. The charm here is its modest scale. You will likely enjoy it most if you are happy with a short walk, a coffee, and a look around rather than a long list of attractions. The free time also gives the group some choice, which is useful after the first hour in the water.

Maslinica on Šolta: lunch and old-town wandering

Maslinica is the main shore stop, with about one hour and 45 minutes for lunch and exploration. It sits on the island of Šolta and provides the most substantial break from the boat.

You are responsible for lunch, so budget for a meal in town. The tour price does not include food. The extra cost is worth considering when you compare this trip with cheaper boat outings, since a full day on the water can involve more spending than the advertised fare.

Maslinica is a good place to slow down. You can eat, walk through the older parts of the Dalmatian town, and enjoy a change from the swimming coves. The time is long enough for a proper lunch without turning the stop into a rushed snack break.

I would use this stop to dry off and recharge. The day has another swimming session ahead, and the late stop at Blue Lagoon is one of the main reasons people choose this route. Since no restaurant is assigned, you have some freedom, but you should keep an eye on the agreed return time so the group can leave together.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjaši Bay: the final hour in the water

The last stop is Blue Lagoon, identified as Krknjaši Bay. You have about one hour to swim and snorkel in the clear sea.

This is the most famous bay on the route, and it is easy to understand why it draws attention. The setting combines bright water, open views, and natural surroundings. It is also a strong final stop because you already have your bearings on the boat and can make the most of the hour without needing to save energy for another town visit.

The timing is useful. You get the famous bay at the end rather than using it as a quick early photo stop. Bring a dry layer for the ride back, since you may be wet after the final swim. The boat then returns to the original meeting point in Trogir.

Blue Lagoon is not a secret, empty cove. Its fame means it can be popular. The small boat helps keep the experience more personal, but it cannot guarantee that the bay itself will be quiet. The tour description emphasizes a peaceful setting, yet conditions on the water and the number of boats can vary.

Why the small group changes the day

The maximum group size is 10 people, and some departures may have fewer. One group review describes nine people on board, while another notes a private-style outing for six. That gives you a useful picture of the scale without promising a fully private charter.

A small group matters in several practical ways:

• Boarding and getting off the boat should be simpler than on a large vessel.
• You have more room to ask the skipper questions.
• Stops can feel less like a timed procession.
• The group may be able to discuss how to use free time.
• Swimming and snorkeling are less intimidating than jumping into the water with a large crowd.

The strongest praise is aimed at the skippers, especially Tomo. He is described as friendly, attentive, and willing to listen to what the group wants. That flexibility can make a real difference on a long day. You are not simply being carried from one fixed photo stop to the next.

Still, do not read small group as complete privacy. The tour is capped at 10, not automatically reserved for one party. If you need a boat only for your own group, ask Trogir Travel about private arrangements before paying.

Is $84.48 a good price?

At $84.48 per person, the tour is not the cheapest way to reach the Blue Lagoon. Its value comes from the amount packed into the day: about eight hours, four stops, a speedboat, fuel, taxes, and an English-speaking skipper.

You are also paying for the small capacity. A large excursion boat may offer a lower fare, but it can bring more people, slower boarding, and less personal attention. The supplied feedback includes strong praise for avoiding the feel of mass boat trips, and that is the clearest reason to choose this option.

The price does not cover lunch or transport to the starting point. You need to reach Obala bana Berislavića in Trogir on your own, and you should plan extra money for food in Maslinica. Public transportation is nearby, but the tour does not provide hotel pickup.

For a full day with several locations, the fare is fair if you value a smaller boat and a flexible skipper. It is less attractive if you want only a short swim at Blue Lagoon or if you already have your own transport and prefer to spend the day at one beach.

Practical details that can make or break the day

The meeting point is Blue Lagoon Trogir Boat Tours, Obala bana Berislavića, 21220 Trogir. The tour begins at 8:40 am and ends back at the same location. Arrive with enough time to find the departure point, since the boat will be working to a full-day schedule.

The activity is offered in English, and confirmation is provided when you book. The tour is suitable for most people, but the supplied details do not give specific information about wheelchair access or mobility limits. Ask the operator directly if that affects your plans.

Pack for both boat travel and swimming. A swimsuit, towel, sun protection, and a dry layer are sensible choices based on the stops and the time spent on the water. Bring any personal snorkeling gear you prefer, since equipment is not listed among the inclusions.

The weather rule is important. The experience requires good weather. If poor conditions lead to cancellation, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. You can also cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not accepted for a refund.

Who will enjoy this Trogir boat trip most?

I would choose this tour if you want a busy but well-paced day on the Adriatic. It suits couples, friends, and small families who want swimming, light sightseeing, and a few scenic towns without organizing separate boats and ferries.

It is also a good fit if you care about the guide. Tomo’s direct, friendly style is a strong part of the experience, and the skipper’s ability to listen and adapt can make the day feel less rigid.

You may want another option if you dislike speedboat travel, need guaranteed shade or extra space, or want a slow cultural tour focused on one island. The four stops are appealing, but none receives a full day. You will see several places rather than study one of them in detail.

The tour’s 4.8 rating from 53 reviews and 96 percent recommendation are useful signals, but the practical details matter more: small capacity, four stops, lunch at your own cost, no pickup, and a full day outside. Those points tell you more about the trip than the score alone.

Should you book the Blue Lagoon and 3 Islands tour?

Book it if you want more than a quick visit to Blue Lagoon. The combination of White Lagoon, Drvenik Veli, Maslinica, and Krknjaši Bay gives you swimming, snorkeling, coffee, lunch, island scenery, and a look at small-town life in one outing.

The strongest reasons to book are the maximum 10-person group, the comfortable speedboat, and the chance to have a skipper such as Tomo who listens to the group. The main cautions are the early start, the long day, the extra cost of lunch, and the fact that weather can cancel the trip.

For a personal-feeling day around Trogir with plenty of time in the water, I would consider this a good-value choice. If you want a quiet, slow cruise or a guaranteed private boat, confirm those details before booking.
