Magnific blue lagoon, speed boat water, wine&towels included

Three stops, one fast speedboat ride. This speedboat day trip strings together UNESCO Trogir, Blue Lagoon swim time, and a second beach stop on Čiovo, all with that classic Dalmatian summer feel. You get moving time between places, then real chances to cool off in the water.

What I like most is the mix of sights and sea time without turning it into a long, exhausting day. I also love that the tour includes a snorkeling mask plus a free tour photo, so you can actually remember the day without scrambling for your own setup.

One drawback to consider is pacing. With sea travel and a tight schedule (plus the note that the route can change when conditions shift), you might feel you want more background or slower time at the water stops.

Key highlights worth caring about

• Small group (up to 12), which helps when you’re sharing swim time and getting everyone lined up fast.
• Trogir UNESCO old town time plus a stop at Tunaholic Fish Bar for a modern take on fish dishes.
• Krknjaši Blue Lagoon with up to 80 minutes to swim and snorkel in calm, clear water.
• Labadusa Beach on Čiovo as a second swim moment, not just a quick pass-through.
• Water and wine included, plus towels available on request.
• Free photo of the tour, handy if you do not want to juggle your phone between swims.

Split to Trogir by small-group speedboat, what it feels like

This tour is built around the idea that time on the Adriatic is the point. You start from Split with a speedboat ride, and from there the day is a sequence of short travel hops and longer “do something fun” stops.

The group size matters here. Limited to 12 participants, the vibe is more relaxed than the big-bus, big-boat style. You are also less likely to spend your whole day stuck in a line. That matters when you are trying to get a quick photo, use the provided snorkel gear, and get into the water before everyone else.

You’ll also notice the day is not designed to be one continuous guided lecture. It has an Italian and English live guide, but the biggest chunk of the experience is the places themselves. That is a good match if you want atmosphere and motion, not a museum-style explanation. It is also worth remembering that the sea can be unpredictable, and the exact route cannot always be guaranteed.

Where you meet in Split, and how the timing works

Meeting point can vary based on your starting option, but it centers on Trg Franje Tuđmana 1 or Trg Franje Tuđmana in Split. Expect the day to be structured like this:

• Speedboat transfer from Split toward Trogir (about 20 minutes)
• Trogir stop with sightseeing and an included-style food and drink window (about 70 minutes)
• Another quick boat hop toward the Blue Lagoon area (about 10 minutes)
• Blue Lagoon stop with swimming and snorkeling time (about 80 minutes)
• Boat hop to Labadusa Beach (about 10 minutes)
• Labadusa time for swimming and snorkeling (about 70 minutes)
• Return transfer (about 40 minutes)

Total duration is listed as 5 hours, so every stop is planned to be short and action-filled. You should plan to arrive early so you can settle in, listen to safety notes, and be ready when the boat pushes off.

Practical tip: if you hate rushing, this tour can still work, but you need to mentally switch from “slow sightseeing” to “high-impact day.” Think photos, short walks, and quick swims. The schedule gives you those moments, but it does not give you long, wandering time.

Trogir hour: UNESCO streets, Tunaholic Fish Bar, and an easy Venice-style stroll

Trogir is the “small Venice” part of the itinerary, and it earns that nickname. The old town is UNESCO protected, and even with only about an hour, it is the kind of place where you can get a lot from a short, well-paced walk.

During the Trogir portion, you get time for:

• A photo stop and sightseeing
• Time to enjoy the neighborhoods and atmosphere
• A food stop at Tunaholic Fish Bar

That Tunaholic Fish Bar stop is a nice detail because it shifts the day from generic tour food to something local-flavored. The plan describes it as a modern take on classic fish dishes. If you like the idea of tasting something without having to choose from a full menu while you are on a tight schedule, this is a convenience win.

One thing to be careful about: food is listed as not included in the tour details, even though the day schedule mentions drinks and options like aperitif, beer, cocktails, and items like BBQ and desserts. That means you should verify what is covered for your booking. If you want a full sit-down meal, do not assume it is included. If you are happy with snacks and drinks during the designated stops, you are likely to be fine.

How to make the most of your Trogir hour:

• Pick one “anchor” viewpoint for photos early.
• Walk at a steady pace, then stop for drinks when the group pauses.
• If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking a moment before heading back on the boat after lunch or drinks.

Speedboat hops to Krknjaši Blue Lagoon: fast, scenic, and mostly about getting there

After Trogir, the boat ride closes the gap to the Blue Lagoon area quickly, around 10 minutes. That short transit is important. It keeps the best part of the day, the water time, from feeling eaten up by travel.

Once you reach Krknjaši Blue Lagoon, you are in the “okay, now we’re here” zone. The description focuses on clear sea with emerald-colored tones, and the experience is built around that visual payoff. You get a break time window of about 80 minutes, which is long enough to do more than one thing: swim, snorkel, relax on the boat, and grab a drink if offered in the plan.

A practical point: with 80 minutes, you do not have to commit to snorkeling for the whole time. You can:

• Start with a quick swim to test the water
• Put on the snorkeling mask if conditions look calm
• Take breaks and enjoy the shade or boat seating between swims

Also, be ready for small changes. The itinerary says the route may shift due to sea conditions. That is normal for coastal boating, and it is why you should keep your expectations flexible, even when you booked for a specific lagoon.

Krknjaši Blue Lagoon swim and snorkeling: the time that matters most

This is where the tour lives or dies for many people. The plan is very clear: swim and snorkel during a dedicated block of time, then settle in for drinks and company.

The tour includes snorkeling mask and safety equipment, so you do not need to hunt for gear on arrival. Still, bring what helps you feel confident:

• If you wear contact lenses, consider bringing solutions or using daily contacts.
• Reef-safe sunscreen and water-friendly clothing are a must. You are on boats and in strong sun.
• If you are a nervous swimmer, do not skip the first minute. Start shallow, then decide.

Because one of the mixed notes is that the lagoon can feel overrated, I think it helps to treat Krknjaši Blue Lagoon as a setting, not a miracle cure. Yes, the water color and clarity are the main attraction. But the real value of your time there is what you do with that water time: swim comfortably, enjoy the boat ride vibe, and take a few good photos before you burn out.

If you want to compare this to other Adriatic swim spots later in the season, know this: this one is famous. That does not make it bad. It just means it can feel more crowded or more hyped than your expectations. Your best strategy is to focus on your own swim time and not on internet hype.

Labadusa Beach on Čiovo: second swim stop, fewer regrets

After Blue Lagoon, you head toward Čiovo and then to Labadusa Beach, another quick hop of about 10 minutes. This stop is all about letting the day keep going without turning into an endurance contest.

You get about 70 minutes here, with the plan listing cocktail, coffee, and swimming and snorkeling time. Even if some of those items are not included in your exact booking, the key takeaway is that Labadusa Beach is positioned as your second “cool off” chance.

Why this matters: two water stops beat one for most people. It means:

• If you get tired during the first swim, you still have a fresh reset later.
• If you snorkel early and want to relax later, you can.
• You can tailor your energy. Swim now, chill later.

What I would do on arrival:

• Check where other swimmers are entering or where the water feels calm.
• Take your snorkel time earlier in the stop if visibility is good, then shift into relaxing and coffee afterward.
• Keep an eye on the return time, because the day is tight and the boat does not wait around for long.

One more consideration: sea travel can be unpredictable. If the water gets choppy, keep your expectations grounded and stay close to the boat routines for your comfort.

Price and value for $77: where the money goes, and what to confirm

At around $77 per person for a 5-hour speedboat outing, the price can be fair, mainly because speedboat time is not cheap and because you get several “included-style” elements packed into one day.

From the included details, you should expect:

• Speedboat driving
• Snorkeling mask (listed as a diving mask, but the function is snorkeling gear)
• Safety equipment
• Water (listed as 0.2 l in the included details)
• Wine (listed as 0.2 l)
• Towels are on request

From the highlights section, the promotion also says free water 0.5 l for every person, which differs from the included 0.2 l detail. That is not something you should shrug off. Confirm your exact inclusions with the provider before you board, especially if you are counting on a certain amount of drinks.

Food is listed as not included. At the same time, the schedule names places and windows that often come with drinks and some kind of snack or BBQ timing. So again, confirm what is covered for your booking if you want certainty. If you are okay buying what you want and treating the included items as extras, you’ll likely be fine.

What makes the price feel worth it (when it works):

• The speedboat keeps you from wasting a full day in transit.
• You get UNESCO Trogir time and two distinct water settings.
• You do not have to bring your own snorkeling mask.
• You get a free tour photo, which saves time and hassle.

Who should book this Blue Lagoon speedboat tour, and who should skip it

I think this tour fits best if you want a “great hits” half-day: a historic town stop, then real water time, then a second beach moment before you go back to Split.

Book it if:

• You like boat tours and want more sea time than bus time.
• You are comfortable with a fast schedule, short walks, and a few photo stops.
• You want snorkeling gear included.
• You like meeting points and moving as a group, rather than doing everything independently.

Consider skipping it if:

• You want deep, slow guided history and long museum-style stops.
• You prefer lounging on one beach for hours. This tour is built for multiple moves.
• You get frustrated when sea conditions shift the route or timing.

Also, if you are sensitive to motion or heat, pack smart. Strong sun plus speedboat movement is not the time to travel lightly.

Quick practical checklist before you go

You will have a better time if you plan for water, sun, and speed:

• Swimwear and a light cover-up for boat time
• Water-friendly sunscreen and lip balm
• A small towel if you do not want to rely on towels being available on request
• Sunglasses with a strap or a secure case
• A waterproof phone pouch (optional but helpful)
• Reapply sunscreen after swimming

And one small mindset shift: let the day be short and enjoyable. You are not trying to conquer every street in Trogir or snorkel for every minute in the lagoon. You are collecting a few great moments.

Should you book this Blue Lagoon speedboat tour?

If your goal is a quick, fun Dalmatian combo of Trogir UNESCO time and Blue Lagoon swim time, I’d say it is a good bet. The included snorkeling mask, safety gear, and the free photo make it easy to participate without extra planning. The small group size is a real quality-of-life advantage.

Just confirm the details that affect your comfort: what water amount you get, whether any drinks and food are actually included for your booking, and whether towels will be available when you need them. If you want a slow-paced, deeply guided day, pick a different style tour. If you like fast hopping, short walks, and getting into the sea, this one is built for you.
