REVIEW · BLUE LAGOON & SOLTA ISLAND CRUISES
Split: Blue Lagoon & Trogir Boat Tour with Lunch and Drinks
Two swims, one easy day in Croatia. I love the mega catamaran feel, with unlimited drinks and a real sit-down lunch that keeps things relaxed, and I also like that the day blends sea time with a guided visit to UNESCO listed Trogir. One consideration is that it is not suitable for wheelchair users, so plan your approach if mobility is an issue.
This is a full-day style outing from Split that mixes swimming in crystal clear coves, island views, and time on land to wander. The crew and onboard vibe are part of the draw, with music and plenty of chances to just hang out between swim stops.
Because it caps at 76 people, it tends to feel social without turning into a packed cattle-boat. Still, it is a boat day, so you will want to be comfortable with sun, salt air, and the basic rhythm of getting on and off at the water’s edge.

Start From Split Dock 4, Then Let the Sea Do the Work

The tour starts at dock no. 4 on Obala Lazareta 1 in Split. Check in 30 minutes before departure, so you are not stressing about timing and you can get settled with time to spare.
This matters because boat days move fast once you’re actually at the dock. You’ll want that buffer for boarding, finding your spot on the catamaran, and getting your swim gear sorted before you head out.
Also, the day is planned around being on the water, with swimming stops and then a land stop. If you show up a bit early, the whole experience feels smoother, not rushed.
Mega Catamaran Comfort, Wi-Fi, and Unlimited Drinks

The heart of this tour is the mega catamaran. Compared to smaller day boats, you get room to spread out, plus a more open feeling when you are sitting with a drink and watching the shoreline change.
Then there is the all-inclusive part, which is a big deal for value. You get unlimited drinks throughout the day, including coffee, beer, red and white wine, soft drinks, and still water. You also get food on board: chicken salad for lunch, plus cakes and fruit.
I like how that removes decision fatigue. You do not have to calculate what you will spend later or hunt for a café between stops. You just move with the schedule: swim, snack, drink, relax, repeat.
You will also have Wi-Fi and music on board. Wi-Fi is helpful for quick messages and sharing photos. The music is useful for keeping the mood light, especially on the sail back when the day is starting to wind down and people want energy on deck.
One practical tip: since glass objects are not allowed, keep your drinks or containers in mind. If you’re carrying anything fragile, swap it for something safe before you board.
Blue Lagoon Swim Stop: Crystal Water Time With a Beach-Day Feel
The day begins with a smooth cruise toward the Blue Lagoon area. Once you arrive, the main event is swimming in clear, inviting water.
This stop is popular for a reason, and the tour structure helps you experience it without making it complicated. You do not just arrive and sprint to the water. You have time to enjoy the views first, then cool off, then settle back in on board between swims.
What I like about this setup is that it is not all about one photo moment. You get a genuine swim stop experience, with snacks like fresh fruit and access to drinks while you’re up on deck.
Drawback to keep in mind: sun and salt can get intense quickly. If you burn easily, sunscreen is not optional here. The tour also gives you the right items to bring, including sunglasses and a towel, which is exactly what helps you enjoy the stop without turning it into damage control.
Čiovo and Fumia Bay: The Second Swim Stop That Changes the Mood
After Trogir, you head to Fumia Bay for the second swim stop. This is on the Čiovo side, so you get a different feel than the Blue Lagoon. It is more about variety than repeating the same scene.
Why that matters: your body gets a break between swims, and your day feels fuller. The second swim stop also gives you a chance to reapply sunscreen, rehydrate, and reset before the ride back to Split.
This is where the tour stays consistent with its “all day” comfort approach. You jump in, then you get lunch, and the drinks keep flowing while you relax. The lunch is Summer Blues chicken salad, which is the kind of meal that feels right after swimming and sun.
The value here is not just that there is more water time. It’s that the second stop makes the day feel like an itinerary with rhythm, not a single long wait followed by one swim and a rushed town stop.
Trogir UNESCO: Guided Walking Tour Plus Real Wandering Time
Next comes Trogir, one of Croatia’s UNESCO listed towns. The tour includes a guided walking tour, plus free time for you to explore on your own.
This is a good mix. The guide helps you connect what you’re looking at, and the free time lets you take the day at your own pace. You can wander cobblestone streets, take photos, and pick up souvenirs if you want something small to remember the trip.
I like this part because it keeps the day from becoming only a sea vacation. You get a clear contrast: salty air and sun on the catamaran, then shade, stone streets, and the easy human scale of a historic town.
One thing to consider: you will be doing walking while the day is already warm. Wear what feels comfortable for uneven ground and keep an eye on how long you actually want to stay outside before the boat ride back.
Lunch, Cakes, Fruit, and Unlimited Sips: Why the Meal Feels Worth It

The food plan is simple, but it’s built for the day you’re living. Lunch is chicken salad, and it comes along with cakes and fruit.
That matters because a lot of boat tours either skimp on lunch or make you fit a meal into chaos. Here, the structure keeps it realistic. You swim, you snack, and then lunch lands when you’re ready for it.
On the drinks side, unlimited is the word that changes the whole value math. You are not paying for each round, and you can alternate between coffee, soft drinks, beer, and wine as you please. Still water is included too, which is a lifesaver for hot afternoons.
Also, the tour adds a fun element to pacing. Music on board, the easy vibe, and the fact that people are spending less time thinking about food means you tend to chat more and enjoy the ride more.
The Sail Back to Split With Music and a Good Vibe

When you head back toward Split, the tour leans into atmosphere. There is music on board, and the vibe is described as fun, with a dancing mood for anyone who feels like joining in.
This is honestly one of the smarter parts of the design. After swimming and walking, everyone has a different energy level. Music gives you a shared rhythm again, so the boat doesn’t feel like a chore on the way back.
If you prefer quiet, you can usually find a calmer spot on deck. If you want the party mood, you can be near where the music is most noticeable. Either way, you get that sense that the day was planned as an experience, not just transport.
Price Check: Is $106 Good Value Here?
At $106 per person, the best way to judge value is to break it down into what you would otherwise pay for separately.
You’re getting:
- A catamaran cruise out of Split
- Two swim stops, including the Blue Lagoon area and a second stop at Fumia Bay on Čiovo
- Unlimited drinks all day, including beer, wine, coffee, soft drinks, and still water
- Lunch plus cakes and fruit
- A guided walking tour in UNESCO listed Trogir
- Wi-Fi and music onboard
Even if you priced out the drinks and lunch alone, you would likely spend a noticeable chunk of change. Add the guided town component and the fact you’re covering both sea time and land time in one outing, and $106 starts to look like the kind of packaged deal that makes sense for a day when you do not want to plan transit, tickets, and meals separately.
In other words, the tour feels more like an all-in day than a bare-bones boat ride. That is where the value comes from.
Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)
This tour feels ideal if you want:
- A relaxed day that mixes water and history
- Swimming time that is more than a quick stop
- Unlimited drinks and food included, so you can focus on enjoying the day
- A guided intro to Trogir, plus free time for your own pace
It can also work well for groups of friends who like a social atmosphere on deck.
Skip it if you need wheelchair accessibility, since it is not suitable for wheelchair users. Also, if boats and sun exposure are not your thing, this might feel like too much of the sea-day routine.
Should You Book This Blue Lagoon and Trogir Catamaran Tour?
I would book this if you’re traveling to Split and want one ticket that handles sea time, food, and Trogir in the same day without making you organize separate plans.
Book it especially if unlimited drinks and a structured lunch matter to you, because that’s where this tour earns its value. And if you love having more than one swim moment, the Blue Lagoon stop plus the Čiovo side swim at Fumia Bay makes the day feel full.
I would hesitate only if you have mobility limitations that make a non-wheelchair-friendly boat day a problem, or if you simply prefer to keep your spending strictly minimal. Otherwise, it’s a straightforward, feel-good day with the kind of comfort and pacing that makes travel days enjoyable.
