Board a small-speedboat from Split for a 4.5-hour half-day escape: swim and snorkel in the Blue Lagoon’s turquoise shallows, then view or visit UNESCO-listed Trogir or relax on Duga Bay. Small groups, snorkeling gear included, departures twice daily.

History
Trogir is a fortified medieval port with Greek and Roman roots and extensive Venetian-era architecture—its compact old town is UNESCO-listed for its historical continuity.
Conservation
Stick to reef-safe sunscreen, remove all trash from the boat, and avoid stepping on seagrass; the central Dalmatian coast relies on low-impact tourism to protect marine habitats.
Reserve your spot on the Blue Lagoon & Trogir (or Duga bay) Experience from Split today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The Blue Lagoon’s marine plants are sensitive—use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and reapply carefully after swimming.
Wear water shoes
Sandy stretches can give way to pebbles and sea grass; thin-soled water shoes make boarding from the water easier.
Arrive early at the Riva
Plan to be at Split’s main promenade 20 minutes before departure to check in and secure space on the small boat.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive medication or use acupressure bands—open sea stretches can be choppy.
Swimsuit
Quick-dry swimwear for snorkeling and sunbathing at the Blue Lagoon.
