The Ultimate Adriatic Escape: Blue Lagoon & Beyond

The Blue Lagoon, nestled between the Krknjaši islands off the coast of Drvenik Veli, is a natural masterpiece of shimmering turquoise water and rocky shorelines. Located just a short speedboat ride from the UNESCO-listed town of Trogir and the vibrant city of Split, it offers an idyllic retreat for travelers seeking to swim, snorkel, and soak up the Mediterranean sun. Whether you choose a high-speed small-group tour, a full-day cruise including a visit to a secret underwater museum, or a luxury private boat tailored to your schedule, the experience centers on the unparalleled clarity of the Adriatic Sea. Beyond the lagoon, most tours visit the historic streets of Trogir, the charming fishing villages of Šolta, or secluded bays like Duga Bay, ensuring a diverse day of exploration and relaxation.

Planning

Historical Context

The Krknjaši islands have served as a natural shelter for sailors since Roman times, providing calm waters during the fierce Bura winds.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut the glare on the water
  • Midday sun is best for capturing the true turquoise color of the lagoon
  • Use a GoPro for underwater snorkeling footage

Insider Tips

  • Go for an afternoon tour if you want to see the sunset on the way back
  • The lagoon is busiest between 11:00 and 14:00
  • Bring your own waterproof phone case for the best underwater shots

Our Partners

  • We partner with Viator and local Croatian skippers to bring you the highest quality boat excursions.

Fun Facts

  • The 'Blue Lagoon' is actually named Krknjaši, but earned its nickname because the sandy seabed reflects the light like a tropical lagoon.
  • The water is so clear that visibility often exceeds 15 meters.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer a full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Check the specific 'Terms and Conditions' on the booking page for your selected tour.

Unforgettable Day!

The water at the Blue Lagoon is even more blue than the pictures. Our guide from the small-group speedboat tour was fantastic and gave us plenty of time to snorkel. Trogir was a beautiful bonus!

Perfect Private Trip

We booked a private boat for my family and it was worth every penny. We could stay longer at the lagoon and skip the crowds. The underwater photography was amazing.

Great Experience

The boat was fast and fun! The only thing is it gets quite windy on the speedboat, so bring a jacket. The Blue Lagoon itself is paradise for swimming.

A Highlight of Croatia

Spent 5 hours on the water and loved every minute. The stop at Šolta for coffee was so peaceful. The lagoon water is shallow and safe for even nervous swimmers.

Speedboat Fun

Fast ride, great music, and incredible views. We saw dolphins on the way back to Trogir! The lagoon was a bit busy, but that's expected in August.
