Private Blue Lagoon and 3 islands Tour from Trogir and Split
What makes this tour interesting is the private speedboat day, which stitches together Trogir plus three of the area’s top island swim spots. I like that you’re not stuck in a big cattle-car schedule, you can move at your own pace with your group of up to 6.
I love how the plan prioritizes time in the water. You get snorkeling equipment onboard, plus multiple swim stops that are long enough to actually enjoy the views and not just gear up and rush off. A possible drawback: since this is a speedboat loop that runs about 10 hours, you’ll want good weather for the best experience.
Key Things I’d Prioritize Before You Go

- Private group of up to 6 so the day feels personal, not chaotic
- Multiple swim moments instead of one quick dip, including snorkeling in two main areas
- Trogir and Solta village time so you get both old-town strolling and island water time
- Snorkeling gear included along with light refreshments onboard
- A shipwreck snorkeling stop at Necujam for a different kind of underwater scene
- Free admission tickets on each land stop for less hassle on the day
A Private Speedboat Day From Split or Trogir (And Why That Matters)

This is built for people who want an island day that feels flexible. You’re not choosing between seeing sights or swimming, because the itinerary is designed to do both, and you’re traveling by speedboat for direct, efficient time on the water.
With a private setup for up to 6, the biggest value is control. If your group wants longer in the shallows at a swimming bay, you can usually make that happen without arguing with a mass departure crowd. And if you want calmer breaks for photos, you can do that too, as long as you stay within the tour’s overall timing.
The other practical win: round-trip speedboat transit is included from Split or Trogir, but hotel pickup and drop-off are not. That means you should plan to meet the boat departure point on your own, then enjoy the day without more transfers.

Entering Trogir for a Quick UNESCO-Style Morning Coffee Break

The tour starts with Trogir, a UNESCO town with a historic center that’s easy to wander. You get about 40 minutes, which sounds short, but it’s a sweet window for a coffee, a few photos, and quick sightseeing without feeling rushed.
Why this stop works well: it gives your day a Croatian old-town flavor before you head into pure swim mode. It’s also a smart way to stretch the morning, since you’re on the water later and you’ll want to feel fueled up.
What to watch for: with only 40 minutes, you shouldn’t plan on a full sit-down meal. Think “grab, wander, shoot a few photos,” then get back to the boat feeling satisfied, not pressured.
Blue Lagoon and Krknjasi Bay: The Water Stop You’re Probably Waiting For
This is the heart of the day. You’ll spend about 1 hour 30 minutes at Blue Lagoon / Krknjasi Bay, and it’s described as a natural bay with sand on the bottom. That matters because sand-bottom areas usually feel better for wading in and snorkeling, and they often make the water look extra clear.
Here’s what you can realistically expect from a stop like this: time to swim, time to snorkel, and time to just float and take in the sea life near the bottom. Snorkeling equipment is included, so you don’t need to rent anything or hunt for gear.
One more reason this stop gets the strongest praise: it delivers that “beautiful swimming spots” payoff people remember. Even if you’re not a hardcore snorkeler, crystal-clear water turns a casual swim into a highlight.
Quick consideration: you’ll want to bring swim-ready comfort, because this is where you’ll lose track of time. If you’re the type who likes to dry off between swims, plan on doing less of that here and more of it during the land breaks.
Solta’s Maslinica Village: Coffee, Old-Time Fishing Feel, and Easy Strolling

After the big water stop, the tour slows down in Maslinica (Solta) for about 45 minutes. This is an old fisherman village with traditional customs, and it’s the kind of place where a simple coffee by the waterfront can feel surprisingly calming.
Why I like this kind of stop: it gives you a taste of island life between swim sessions. You’re not just hopping from one beach photo to the next. Instead, you get a small-town reset so the rest of the day feels balanced.
Also, the time length is right. In 45 minutes, you can get a drink, walk a few lanes, and grab some photos without racing the clock. You can even take a breather if you’re sun-tired after the lagoon.
What might not be ideal: if you’re expecting a long stretch of shops or a big meal here, you’ll likely feel shortchanged. This is more about atmosphere than shopping time.

Maslinica Beach: The Short Swim Break That Keeps the Pace Fun

Next up is Maslinica Beach, around 25 minutes. It’s a small sand beach designed for a quick swim and refresh before lunch.
I think this stop is valuable because it keeps your momentum. After Solta village coffee, you can slide right into the water without overcommitting to another long swim session. It’s also a good moment if you want to cool off and reset between the more structured snorkeling stop and lunch.
The tradeoff is obvious: 25 minutes is not for deep snorkeling marathons. Use it for an easy dip, a little swimming, and a few photos from the shore, then move on.
Lunch at Restoran Turanj in Stomorska Bay (and What You Control)

Lunch happens at Restoran Turanj in Stomorska Bay for about 1 hour 40 minutes. Lunch is not included, but the extra time gives you room to sit down, eat at a traditional tavern, and take a true break from the sun and salt air.
This is the point in the day where your choices matter. If you want to refuel for the final snorkeling stop, order something that won’t weigh you down too much. If you’re a seafood person, this is the kind of place where you’ll typically find local dishes on the menu, and you can keep it simple.
One more reason this lunch stop works: you’re in the bay area, which often makes the whole setting feel more relaxed than a quick roadside bite. A longer meal window also means your group can stagger bathroom breaks and still return to the boat on time.
What to expect: since lunch isn’t included, you’ll need a plan for your budget. But the time on the clock is part of the value, because it prevents the day from turning into nonstop transit.
Necujam and the Shipwreck Snorkeling Stop That Feels Different

The final water stop is Necujam, about 45 minutes, including snorkeling around a shipwreck. This isn’t just another beach swim. A shipwreck changes the underwater structure, which can make snorkeling feel more interesting because you’re not only looking at sand and open water.
Why this stop is so appealing: it gives you a different kind of experience than the lagoon. Even if your snorkeling comfort is moderate, seeing an underwater feature often makes the time feel memorable.
I’d also treat this as your “payoff moment” for the day. By the time you reach Necujam, you’ve already had a big water highlight at the lagoon and a land break in Solta. This is the last chance to get that water time feeling one more time before you head back.
Small practical note: plan to rinse off in the next calm moment you get, and keep your essentials easy to reach. You’ll likely want sunscreen and swim gear ready again right after lunch.
How the 10-Hour Loop Feels in Real Time

This tour runs about 10 hours, and the stops are spread so you get variety without feeling like you’re bouncing constantly. Add up the scheduled stop times and you can see the pattern: two major water stretches, a village coffee break, a quick beach swim, a proper lunch window, then one more snorkeling finale.
That pacing is exactly why a private format works. When you’re on a private boat day, the day feels like it’s built around your group’s rhythm, not around random handoffs.
What to consider: you still have transit time by speedboat, and travel by boat depends on conditions. If the sea is rough, water activities may feel less comfortable, even if you can still get in the snorkeling.
Price and Value for a Group Up to 6 (What You’re Really Paying For)
The price is listed as $844.78 per group, for up to 6 people. That’s about $141 per person if you fill all 6 seats, which can be very reasonable for a private speedboat day in this part of Croatia, especially because snorkeling gear and light refreshments are included.
Where the money really goes:
- private boat access for your group
- round-trip speedboat transit from Split or Trogir
- driver/guide time for the day
- snorkeling equipment
- light refreshments
- all taxes, fees, and handling charges
What’s not included is also clear: lunch and hotel pickup/drop-off. So your real “cost” is the lunch budget plus any transport you need to get yourself to the departure point.
If you’re traveling solo or as a couple, the per-person math can rise, since it depends on filling the group. If you’re a family or a small group of friends, this is where the private setup shines because you share the boat cost.
What’s Included On Board (And What You Should Bring Anyway)
Included items are a big deal on boat tours. Here you get snorkeling equipment and light refreshments onboard, which reduces friction and keeps you from burning time managing rentals.
Even with equipment provided, I recommend you bring:
- your own swimwear and a towel you don’t mind getting sandy
- a rash guard or swim shirt if you’re sun-sensitive
- reef-safe sunscreen if you use it
- a hat and sunglasses you can keep secure on a moving boat
- a waterproof phone pouch if you like taking photos in the water
You’ll likely do the lagoon swimming and the shipwreck snorkeling with provided gear, so your focus can be on enjoying, not troubleshooting.
Who This Tour Suits Best (And Who Might Want Something Else)
This tour fits best if you want:
- a private day with your group
- multiple swimming and snorkeling stops in one outing
- a mix of old-town charm and island water time
- an easy pace you can still feel in your schedule
It also fits families, with a clear condition: children must be accompanied by an adult. Most people can participate, since the stops are designed for typical sightseeing, swimming, and snorkeling at various levels of intensity.
Who might not love it: if you strongly prefer long unstructured beach lounging with zero schedule pressure, the timed stop lengths may feel limiting. But if you like “a few perfect moments” over “one all-day beach,” this format is right.
Should You Book This Private Blue Lagoon and 3 Islands Tour?
Yes, if you want a day that hits the best parts of the area without turning your schedule into a mess. The strongest reason to book is simple: the tour delivers serious swimming and snorkeling time, plus that rare combination of old-town Trogir moments and Solta island atmosphere.
I’d book it especially if your group wants a private speedboat day for up to 6, because that price starts to make a lot more sense when you’re splitting the boat cost. And if you care about snorkeling variety, the double water plan plus the Necujam shipwreck stop gives you more than the usual one-bay routine.
If you’re sensitive to weather or sea conditions, plan to be flexible on timing. This kind of day is best when the water is calm enough for enjoying the swim stops comfortably.
