Blue Lagoon Boat Tour from Trogir with Lunch and Drinks

The best part of this outing is the two-hour stop at Blue Lagoon, where you can swim, sunbathe, snorkel, and use the boat’s waterslide. It gives you a proper stretch of beach-free Adriatic time, not just a quick photo stop.

I like the fact that lunch and drinks are included, and I also like the second water stop at the sunken Kontessa near Nečujam on Šolta. The main caution is that the food may not be the strongest part of the day, and the route can change. One July guest had to arrange a ride back to Trogir after the stops shifted.

Key points to know before booking

• Blue Lagoon gets a full two hours: You have time for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and the onboard waterslide.
• Lunch is served during the first boat ride: Choose fish, meat, or a vegetarian meal, with fruit later in the day.
• The Kontessa shipwreck adds a second water stop: Snorkel around the sunken vessel in Nečujam, on Šolta.
• Drinks cover the basics all day: Water, wine, and homemade iced tea are included, along with licorice tasting.
• The day ends with Split and a return to Trogir: You get free time in Split before the boat heads back.
• Bring an extra 10 EUR deposit: This is required to use the snorkeling equipment and is separate from the tour price.

What the day really offers for $82

At $82 per person, this is priced as a full-day package rather than a simple boat ride. You are paying for transport from Trogir, lunch, drinks, snorkeling equipment, a waterslide, two swimming areas, fruit, and time in Split.

That can be good value if you want one booking to handle the main parts of a day on the coast. Buying food, drinks, and a separate boat trip can quickly add up, especially during the summer. The package also saves you from arranging transport between Trogir, the islands, and Split.

The value is less clear if your main goal is a polished meal or a quiet boat trip. This is a busy, activity-focused day with several moving parts. The food received only an average assessment, so I would book it for the water stops and the route, not for a memorable lunch.

The schedule also deserves a close look. The activity is described as lasting nine hours, but the listed times run from 12:00 until 20:00, which is eight hours. The timing may include the full return arrangement or may simply reflect an approximate schedule. Either way, keep your evening flexible.

Finding the boat at Trogir pier

The meeting point can be a little less tidy than a fixed gate or named berth. The Bura Line boat may stop at any open place on either side of the pier. If you do not see it right away, ask the booker at the Bura Line desk for help.

Arrive at least 15 minutes before the 12:00 departure. That is especially important here because the boat may not be sitting in one obvious spot. You do not want to begin the day by chasing a vessel along the waterfront.

The tour language is English, and the driver is listed as English-speaking. No individual guide name is provided, so you should not expect a named personal guide in the way you might on a walking tour.

The first ride to Blue Lagoon includes lunch

The first leg runs from 12:00 to about 12:45. Lunch is served while the boat travels toward Blue Lagoon, which makes practical sense. You can eat during the transfer and save the stop itself for swimming.

You can choose among fish, meat, and vegetarian meals. Fruit is also included as a snack later in the day. Drinks available throughout the day include water, wine, and homemade iced tea.

This arrangement keeps the schedule moving, but it also means lunch is part of the boat service rather than a long meal at a waterfront restaurant. If you care most about food quality, keep your expectations modest. One rating specifically praised the scenery and stops while finding the food disappointing.

The included drinks are more useful than they may first sound. A full day in the sun can make repeated drink purchases expensive, and having water and iced tea available helps you avoid treating every refreshment as an extra cost. Wine is included as well, though additional food and drinks offered onboard cost extra.

Two hours at Blue Lagoon

The boat is scheduled to reach Blue Lagoon around 13:00, with the main swimming stop lasting until 15:00. This is the strongest part of the day for most people, since you are not rushed through the water.

You can swim, sunbathe, and use the provided snorkeling equipment. The boat also has a waterslide, which gives the stop a playful edge, particularly for families and anyone who prefers an active afternoon to simply sitting on deck.

Two hours is a useful amount of time. It allows you to try more than one activity without spending the whole afternoon watching the clock. You can swim first, dry off in the sun, then snorkel or use the slide before returning to the boat.

The water stop is also the part most worth protecting if the schedule changes. One July booking noted that the planned stops were changed without clear notice. If the crew announces a different order, listen carefully and ask where the next return point will be. That small step could save you trouble later.

A 10 EUR safety deposit is required to use the snorkeling gear. It is not part of the $82 price, so bring enough cash or confirm the payment method before you leave. The supplied information does not specify the exact return process for the deposit.

WiFi is included, but the main reason to book this trip is the time outside. Connection quality on a boat can vary, and the water stops are a better use of your attention than trying to stay online.

Nečujam and the sunken Kontessa

After Blue Lagoon, the boat travels from about 15:00 to 15:45 toward Nečujam on Šolta. The schedule includes licorice tasting during this part of the day, adding a small local food detail to the ride.

The boat moors near the sunken ship Kontessa from about 16:00 to 17:00. This gives you another hour for snorkeling around the wreck. It is a useful contrast with Blue Lagoon: the first stop is built around open-water swimming, sunbathing, and the waterslide, while Nečujam gives you a clear object to explore underwater.

The shipwreck stop will appeal most if you enjoy snorkeling with a point of interest. You are not just swimming in open water. You can look around the remains of the Kontessa and use the hour at your own pace.

Still, do not treat this as a specialist wreck expedition. The activity includes snorkeling gear and time near the ship, but it does not provide detailed information about the wreck or advertise expert instruction. If you want technical wreck exploration, this is not that kind of trip.

The included licorice tasting is another small bonus, though the supplied information does not explain the style of licorice or how it is served. Consider it a quick taste rather than a major food event.

The ride back to Split

The return leg begins around 17:15 and runs to about 18:30, with fresh fruit served on the way. After the swimming and snorkeling stops, fruit is a sensible snack and gives you something light before the evening stop.

The route then allows free time in Split from about 19:00 to 20:00. That is enough for a short walk, a look around, or a quick drink, but not enough for a serious visit to the city.

The timing matters. Split is included as a brief stop at the end of a water-based day, not as a full sightseeing visit. If you want to tour the old center, visit Diocletian’s Palace, or eat a relaxed dinner, one hour will feel tight. If you simply want to step off the boat and get a taste of Split, it adds variety to the day.

The boat is scheduled to leave Split for Trogir at 20:00. If you left a car in Trogir, pay close attention to this final arrangement. One person had to rely on an employee to drive them back to Trogir after the stops changed, so a route change can affect more than your sightseeing plans.

Food, drinks, and what to pack

The all-inclusive wording is useful, but it does not mean every item onboard is covered. Lunch, fruit, water, wine, homemade iced tea, and licorice tasting are included. Additional food and drinks cost extra.

For the best experience, I would pack:

• Swimwear and a towel
• Sun protection
• A small amount of extra money for add-ons
• The 10 EUR snorkeling deposit
• A phone or camera in a waterproof case
• Any personal snacks you may need

The tour provides snorkeling equipment, but you may prefer to bring your own mask if fit matters to you. The activity does not specify the range of sizes or the condition of the equipment.

The boat’s waterslide is included, so you do not need to pay separately for that. The same goes for WiFi, though the signal may not be the main attraction during a day spent between islands.

Who will enjoy this boat day most?

I would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Trogir who wants to combine swimming, casual sightseeing, lunch, and a short visit to Split without arranging several separate trips.

It suits families and groups with mixed interests. One person can swim, another can sunbathe, and someone else can try the slide or look around the shipwreck. The included meals and drinks also make budgeting easier.

It is a good choice for people who want a social, activity-filled day. You will spend much of the time moving between locations, eating, swimming, and returning to the boat. You will not spend long hours in one quiet cove.

I would think twice if you need exact timing, a fixed route, or a high-end meal. The route may change, the food is not a major strength, and the Split stop is short. This is best approached as a flexible coastal outing.

Timing, changes, and practical concerns

The boat leaves at noon, so this is not an early-morning excursion. That gives you a slower start, but it also means the day runs into the evening.

The supplied schedule lists these times:

• 12:00: Departure from Trogir
• 12:00 to 12:45: Boat ride and lunch
• 13:00 to 15:00: Blue Lagoon
• 15:00 to 15:45: Ride toward Nečujam
• 16:00 to 17:00: Snorkeling near Kontessa
• 17:15 to 18:30: Ride toward Split and fruit service
• 19:00 to 20:00: Free time in Split
• 20:00: Boat ride back to Trogir

Use those times as a guide, not a guarantee. A July booking recorded changed stops without advance notice. I would confirm the return plan with the crew, especially if your car, hotel, or evening reservation depends on arriving in Trogir at a particular time.

The operator allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, and you can reserve now and pay later. Those terms help if the weather forecast is uncertain or your plans in Dalmatia are still shifting.

Should you book the Blue Lagoon boat tour?

Book it if you want a well-packed day on the water with two swimming stops, lunch, drinks, snorkeling, a waterslide, and a quick look at Split. The Blue Lagoon time and the Kontessa stop give the trip more substance than a simple sightseeing cruise.

The strongest reasons to choose it are the two-hour Blue Lagoon visit, the chance to snorkel near a shipwreck, and the convenience of having basic food and drinks included. The scenery and stops are the clear highlights.

Skip it if food quality, strict timing, or a calm private-boat feel matters most. The route can change, lunch may be ordinary, and one hour in Split is only enough for a quick taste.

For many people staying in Trogir, $82 is fair value for the amount packed into the day. Just arrive early, bring the snorkeling deposit, keep your evening open, and treat the schedule as flexible rather than fixed.
