Private Blue Lagoon and 3 islands Tour from Trogir and Split
Clear water, small villages, and a full day at sea. This private speedboat tour brings you from Split or Trogir to Trogir’s old town, Blue Lagoon, Maslinica, Stomorska, and Necujam in about 10 hours. I like the freedom of having only your own group aboard, and I like the mix of swimming, snorkeling, village time, and a traditional tavern lunch stop. The main consideration is cost: at $844.78 for up to six people, it makes the most sense for a full group rather than a couple traveling alone.
You get round-trip boat transport, a driver-guide, snorkeling equipment, and light refreshments. Lunch is not included, and hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided, so you need to arrange your own way to the departure point. The tour is popular enough that it is booked about 96 days ahead on average, so summer planning matters.

Key points at a glance

- A private boat for up to six people: Your group has the speedboat to itself, which gives you more room to enjoy the day at your own pace.
- Six stops across one long day: The route combines Trogir, Blue Lagoon, Maslinica, Maslinica Beach, Stomorska, and Necujam.
- The best water stop lasts 90 minutes: Krknjasi Bay, also called Blue Lagoon, is set between three islands and offers clear water, a sandy bottom, and snorkeling.
- A proper meal stop is built in: You have about 1 hour and 40 minutes at a traditional tavern in Stomorska Bay, but you pay for lunch separately.
- Snorkeling gear is supplied: You do not need to pack your own mask and equipment for the planned water stops.
- Weather controls the schedule: Poor weather can lead to a different date or a full refund, and free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure.
Why this private boat day works well
The appeal is simple: you cover a lot of the central Dalmatian coast without changing hotels or arranging several separate trips. A speedboat links the stops, while the private format keeps the day more personal than a large shared excursion.
I especially like the balance between time on land and time in the water. Trogir gives you a historic town at the start, Maslinica offers a quiet waterfront village, and Stomorska provides a longer break for lunch. Between those stops, you get several chances to swim and snorkel.
The tour is also easy to understand from a practical point of view. It leaves enough time for each main activity, rather than stopping for five rushed photographs and immediately racing away. The 90-minute Blue Lagoon stop is long enough to swim and use the snorkeling equipment without feeling hurried.
Still, this is a packed day. You are moving from stop to stop for about 10 hours, and several swimming breaks may feel repetitive if you prefer museums, long meals, or a slower village visit. The private boat gives you control over your group’s atmosphere, but the route itself is fairly full.

Trogir starts the morning with coffee and stone streets

For people leaving from Split, Trogir is the first stop. The old city is listed as a UNESCO site and makes a useful opening to the day because you can begin with coffee or breakfast before spending hours on the water.
The stop lasts about 40 minutes. That is enough to get your bearings, take photographs, and enjoy the setting, but not enough for a serious historical visit. I would treat this as a short introduction rather than a full tour of Trogir.
The timing also matters. A morning stop gives you a chance to eat before the swimming sections, especially since lunch comes later at Stomorska. If you are departing from Trogir, ask how the schedule changes, since the listed route describes Trogir as the first stop for people coming from Split.
Trogir is also a strong photo stop. The tour information specifically points to its appeal for holiday pictures, and the compact historic setting makes that practical. You will not need to spend the whole morning searching for a view.
Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay are the main water event

The 90-minute stop at Blue Lagoon, also known as Krknjasi Bay, is likely to be the high point for anyone booking this tour for swimming. The bay lies between three islands, and the bottom is sandy. That combination helps explain the clear water and the appeal of staying in the shallows.
You can swim, use the supplied snorkeling equipment, and look for sea life on the bottom. The water is described as crystal clear, but conditions at sea can change with weather, light, and wind, so I would keep expectations sensible rather than expecting an aquarium.
This is where the private format has real value. Your group can enjoy the water without having to make conversation with a boatload of strangers, and you have a full hour and a half instead of a quick photo stop. The driver-guide is with you throughout the day, and the equipment is included.
Bring a towel, swimsuit, sun protection, and anything you need to feel comfortable between water stops. Light refreshments are available on board, but they are not a replacement for a full breakfast or lunch. If you tend to get hungry after swimming, plan accordingly.
Maslinica brings a change of pace

After Blue Lagoon, the route heads to Maslinica on the island of Solta. The village is described as an old fishing place where you can see traditional customs and sit for coffee on the main waterfront.
The stop lasts about 45 minutes. That is a useful amount of time for a drink, a short walk, and a look at the harbor. It will not satisfy you if you want a long cultural visit, but it gives the day a necessary pause from swimming.
I like this part because the tour does not treat the islands as nothing more than swimming platforms. Maslinica offers a glimpse of a settled coastal community, with a more ordinary rhythm than the major departure cities. You can compare the village with Trogir, which feels more historic and urban in character.
The instructions use the name Maslinica Solta, so make sure you understand that this is a stop on Solta, not another destination with a similar name. As with the other short stops, keep an eye on the meeting time. A private boat is convenient, but you still need to return promptly so the rest of the day works.

Maslinica Beach is a short second swim

The next stop is Maslinica Beach, a small sandy beach where you have about 25 minutes for a quick swim. This is much shorter than the Blue Lagoon stop, so think of it as a refreshing break rather than a major beach visit.
The sandy shoreline may appeal to you if you prefer an easy entry into the water. It also gives you another chance to swim without giving up too much time from lunch and the later snorkeling stop.
The drawback is obvious: 25 minutes disappears quickly. By the time you get settled, swim, and dry off, it may be time to board again. I would keep your belongings organized and avoid treating this as the place to unpack everything you brought.
This stop also shows the value of the private design. A small group can usually get ready faster than a large crowd, although the supplied information does not promise flexible timing or route changes. You should enjoy the extra privacy, but not assume every stop can be extended.
Stomorska gives you the longest break on land

The tour then reaches Stomorska Bay for lunch at Restoran Turanj, a traditional tavern. The scheduled stop is about 1 hour and 40 minutes, making it the longest pause of the day.
This is where you can eat different types of dishes and take a proper break from the boat. Lunch is not included in the tour price, so budget separately for your meal. The extended stop is useful because you are not trying to swallow lunch between two quick swims.
The tavern setting also adds a local touch to the route. Instead of eating a meal on board or grabbing something in a large port, you have time in a traditional restaurant in Stomorska Bay. That helps make the day feel like more than a transport loop.
You should still check the menu and prices when you arrive, since the supplied information does not specify dishes, meal costs, or dietary options. If food is a major part of your day, this is one detail worth confirming before departure.
The lunch stop may be the part that divides opinions. I like having time for a real meal, but people who want maximum swimming time may see 1 hour and 40 minutes as long. The schedule favors a balanced day rather than nonstop time in the water.
Necujam ends with snorkeling over a shipwreck

The final listed stop is Necujam, where you can swim and snorkel around a shipwreck. The stop lasts about 45 minutes, so it gives the day a focused final activity before the return trip.
A shipwreck adds a different kind of interest to the snorkeling. At Blue Lagoon, the draw is clear water, sandy bottom, and sea life. At Necujam, you have a specific underwater feature to explore.
The information does not state the depth of the wreck, its size, or how close you can swim to it. Follow the driver-guide’s instructions and stay within the area considered suitable for the group. Snorkeling ability varies, so this stop may feel more exciting to confident swimmers than to someone who is uncomfortable in open water.
Ending with Necujam works well because it keeps the final stop active. You are not simply waiting for the boat ride home after lunch. At the same time, you may feel ready for a rest after a full day that began with Trogir and included several water stops.
What the $844.78 group price really means

The listed price is $844.78 for a private group of up to six people. Split six ways, that comes to about $140.80 per person, before lunch. For a full family or group of friends, that is a more reasonable comparison than the total price alone suggests.
You are paying for a private speedboat, a driver-guide, a 10-hour route, snorkeling equipment, light refreshments, and the convenience of visiting several places in one day. You also avoid paying separate fares for multiple boat trips and do not have to plan the route yourself.
For two people, the calculation is very different. At the same total price, the per-person cost becomes much higher, so a private boat day needs to be a priority rather than a casual add-on. The value improves as your group gets closer to six.
I would compare this with the cost and time of arranging independent boat transport, but do not judge the tour only by the number of stops. The private format is the main product. You are buying a coordinated day with swimming, villages, and lunch, not simply a ticket from Split to one beach.
Lunch is extra, and hotel pickup and drop-off are also excluded. You need to reach the departure point on your own and plan for your restaurant bill. Those costs are easy to overlook when you first see the group price.
Who will enjoy this day most
I would recommend this tour to a group of friends, a family with older children, or anyone who wants a full day of water time without sharing a boat with a large crowd. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and most people can take part.
It suits you especially well if you want variety. You get historic Trogir, island villages, beach time, snorkeling, and a restaurant meal in a single outing. You do not need to choose between a sightseeing day and a beach day.
The tour is less suitable if you dislike speedboats, want a relaxed schedule, or hope to spend several hours exploring one island on foot. The route is active and time-managed. Although the tour is private, it is not a private custom itinerary in the sense of unlimited changes being promised.
The weather clause matters for anyone booking far ahead. The experience requires good weather. If poor conditions cancel the trip, you are offered another date or a full refund. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time, while later cancellations and changes are not accepted.
Practical advice before you reserve
I would book well ahead for summer, especially since this experience averages about 96 days booked in advance. That does not guarantee every date sells out, but it is a clear sign that last-minute planning may be risky.
Wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a towel. Pack sun protection and a small bag that is easy to keep with you on the boat. Since light refreshments are included but lunch is not, eat breakfast or bring enough food to stay comfortable until Stomorska.
Think about your group size before paying. Six people sharing the cost makes the private boat format much better value. If you are traveling as a couple, consider how much privacy and schedule control matter to you.
Also remember that this is a mobile-ticket experience offered in English. Confirmation is received at booking. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so confirm the meeting point and allow enough time to reach it.
Should you book the Blue Lagoon and three-island tour?
Book it if you want one big, well-filled day that combines the sea and the shore. The strongest reasons are the private boat, the long Blue Lagoon stop, supplied snorkeling equipment, and the chance to visit Trogir, Maslinica, Stomorska, and Necujam without arranging several separate outings.
I would be more cautious if you are a couple watching your budget or if you prefer slow travel. The price works best when six people share it, and the schedule leaves little room for lingering.
For the right group, this is a strong choice. The clear water, pleasant swimming stops, friendly guide service, and well-liked combination of scenery and food give the day broad appeal. Just budget for lunch, arrange your own transport to the departure point, and reserve early.
