Blue Lagoon Boat Tour from Trogir with Lunch and Drinks

One day on the water, big views, and saltwater fun. This Blue Lagoon boat tour from Trogir is built around three things: swimming in the Blue Lagoon, snorkeling with gear provided, and that shipwreck stop near Kontessa. It’s the kind of trip that feels busy in a good way, but still leaves room to relax.

What I like most is the all-day lunch and drinks setup. You get freshly served food on the way out, plus water, wine, and homemade iced tea during the day, so you are not hunting for cash or menus every hour. You also get snorkeling gear and even use of the onboard water slide, which turns a long boat day into something more playful than just sightseeing.

The one drawback to consider is that food quality can be hit or miss, and one past group also reported itinerary changes without being warned. That does not mean it will happen to you, but it is smart to stay flexible and keep an eye on updates from the crew.

Key highlights worth planning for

• Blue Lagoon swim time (2 hours) with snorkeling equipment included
• Lunch plus included drinks served during the outbound cruise
• Water slide use onboard, for a quick break from sun and salt
• Šolta, Nečujam, and Kontessa shipwreck snorkeling for a more interesting underwater stop
• Liquorice tasting on the way to the snorkeling bay
• Free time in Split plus fruit served on the return

Blue Lagoon from Trogir: the format you are buying

This is a 9 hour boat day that runs on a clear rhythm: travel, swim, snack, snorkel, then time to wander Split before the boat returns you to Trogir. The start time is 12:00, and you should aim to be at the pier about 15 minutes early. That timing matters, because the boat schedule is tight once you are on board.

At a practical level, the tour is designed for people who want the “wow” of the Blue Lagoon without logistics headaches. You do not need to figure out boat routes, find rental gear, or coordinate food stops. The tour also includes WiFi use onboard, which is handy if you want to message home or keep your maps straight while you are away from land.

Price and what $82 really covers

At about $82 per person for a full day on the water, the value mainly comes from what is bundled. You get:

• Lunch (fish, meat, or vegetarian options, plus fruit snack)
• Drinks all day (water, wine, homemade iced tea)
• Snorkeling gear and use of the waterslide
• Liquorice tasting
• Fresh fruit on the return cruise
• WiFi use onboard

What is not included is the only real “extra fee” risk here: a 10 EUR safety deposit for snorkeling gear. If you plan to snorkel, that deposit is worth budgeting, and you will want to keep your cash or card access ready.

Also, remember that this is a boat day, not a lounge cruise. If you are hoping for long, slow stops and lots of downtime, you might feel the pace. But if you want a packed day that stays simple and includes the basics, the price is easier to swallow.

Getting to the pier and finding Bura Line fast

Your biggest early step is the meeting point. The agency is Bura Line, and the boat can stop at any empty spot at the pier on one side or the other. That detail sounds small, but it can be annoying if you show up five minutes late and do not know which dock lane to scan.

My advice is straightforward:

• Go to the Bura Line desk first.
• Ask for help if you cannot spot the boat right away.
• Arrive early enough to walk, check, and still have time to settle in.

Since the departure is 12:00, I would treat the “be there 15 minutes before departure” note as the real rule, not a suggestion. Boat days are the first to punish late arrivals.

Lunch on the way out: more than just filler

The schedule starts with the cruise to the Blue Lagoon, and lunch is served during that outbound stretch. The plan is:

• 12:00 to 12:45 voyage to Blue Lagoon, lunch served

That timing is smart. Instead of cramming food right after boarding, you eat while the boat is moving, which can feel easier on your stomach. It also reduces the chance you will be searching for lunch later, once everyone is already warmed up by sun and sea air.

Lunch options include fish, meat, or vegetarian, and it also comes with a fruit snack. One thing to calibrate: the food is included, but quality can be uneven. I would think of it as “included meal” rather than “destination dining,” and then focus your expectations on the swimming and snorkeling stops.

Blue Lagoon: your main stop for swim time and sun

Now for the headline. The tour gives you 2 hours at the Blue Lagoon, from roughly 13:00 to 15:00, with time for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling.

What makes this stop work is the mix:

• You can just float and swim
• You can snorkel using the included gear
• You can use the onboard water slide, which is great when you need a quick break from lying in the sun

There is also a practical advantage to having snorkeling gear provided. Even if you have never snorkeled before, you can use the equipment without trying to rent it on the fly. For first timers, it helps to remember you do not need to be a marine biologist. Go slow, pick a comfortable rhythm, and enjoy the novelty of seeing underwater near the surface.

The tour does not name the exact snorkeling spots inside the lagoon, so you will need to follow crew guidance during the stop. Still, the setup is designed so everyone can get water time.

Nečujam on Šolta: the slower, more local-feeling interlude

After Blue Lagoon, the boat heads to Island Šolta, specifically to the bay of Nečujam. The schedule shows:

• 15:00 to 15:45 voyage, Nečujam stop, and liquorice tasting

This is your mid-tour reset. You get a stretch of time that is not only about swimming or snorkeling. Nečujam is also where the tour sets you up for the shipwreck snorkeling later, since you will be moving into that area on the next stage.

The liquorice tasting is a small thing, but it is one of those “only on this kind of trip” add-ons that makes the day feel more specific to the region than a standard sightseeing loop. If you like trying local flavors, this stop will feel like a fun bonus.

Kontessa shipwreck snorkeling: the part you will remember

The most memorable underwater moment is the snorkeling around the sunken ship Kontessa. The tour time block is:

• 16:00 to 17:00 snorkeling in the bay around the shipwreck Kontessa

This is where the day earns its keep, beyond the famous surface-level postcard views. A shipwreck gives you a clear target, and it tends to make snorkel time feel purposeful. Even if you only spend part of the hour actually snorkeling, the chance to explore a real underwater structure is a big upgrade from basic swim-only stops.

One important detail: while snorkeling gear is included, there is that 10 EUR safety deposit for using it. Bring what you need, because deposits can slow you down at the moment you want to start.

Also, keep your expectations realistic. You might not see everything the way you imagine it, depending on water conditions. But even when visibility is not perfect, seeing the idea of a wreck below the surface tends to land well.

Split for an hour: enough time to enjoy without rushing

On the return leg, you cruise back toward Split and then get actual free time on land. Here is the structure:

• 17:15 to 18:30 voyage back to Split, with fresh fruit served
• 19:00 to 20:00 free time in Split
• 20:00 boat drive back to Trogir

That “gap” between the arrival window and the free time matters. You may have some waiting or downtime as you get oriented. The payoff is that you get one focused hour in Split, not a token photo stop.

What is most valuable about this setup is that you can choose how you spend it. If you want a short wander, you can. If you prefer shopping for water or snacks before the return, you can. This is also when you can take advantage of the fact that you are already in Split, rather than adding another half day of transportation later.

Drinks onboard: the small details that change the vibe

The tour keeps things simple with included drinks all day: water, wine, and homemade iced tea. That matters because it reduces decision fatigue. You do not need to track what is included and what costs extra. You also avoid the common problem of running out of water right when the sun hits hardest.

One more practical note: onboard WiFi is included, which is helpful for messaging or quickly checking your next steps. Still, expect WiFi to be “works when it works,” since that depends on boat connectivity.

Food and drinks reality check: plan around it

Here is the balanced take I would use to help you decide. You get a proper included lunch and snacks, so you will not go hungry. But do not expect it to taste like a sit-down restaurant meal. One rating noted that the food was not so good, while still praising the sightseeing.

So, how do you handle that? You set expectations. Treat lunch as fuel. Put your attention on:

• Blue Lagoon swim time
• Snorkeling at Kontessa
• The overall pacing of boat stops

If you are someone who is picky about food, you might want to bring a small backup snack for peace of mind. Just keep in mind that additional food and drinks offered onboard are not included.

Who should book this Blue Lagoon day trip

This tour makes the most sense if you:

• Want one-day, low-planning access to Blue Lagoon from Trogir
• Enjoy water time and would likely use snorkeling gear
• Like active sightseeing mixed with relaxation
• Appreciate included drinks so the day stays easy

It is also a good fit for couples and friend groups who want fun on the water without splitting into separate plans for lunch, boat tickets, and gear rentals.

If you are the type who hates schedules, you may find the pacing feel tight. And if food quality is your top priority, you will want to keep expectations grounded.

Should you book the Blue Lagoon Boat Tour from Trogir?

I would book it if your priority is a smooth day that combines Blue Lagoon swimming, snorkeling gear, and the extra wow factor of the Kontessa shipwreck stop. The bundled lunch, drinks, and waterslide use help justify the cost, and the Split hour gives you a land break without adding extra travel time.

I would think twice if you are very sensitive to food quality or you strongly prefer fixed, unchanging itineraries. For that, I would choose another option with more flexible day planning.

If you do book, come prepared to snorkel, arrive at the pier on time, and be ready to follow crew directions if the day’s flow shifts. When you do that, this is the kind of Croatia boat trip that delivers the headline moments without making you do the work.
