Small-Group Blue Lagoon Speedboat

A 5.5-hour Blue Lagoon boat trip from Split, booked through the live listing.

Overview

Twelve passengers per boat, one speedboat, and five and a half hours to cover three stops along the coast near Split. TOTO TRAVEL runs this trip from the Trumbićeva obala office in Split, and it packs a swim, an island visit and a walk through a historic stone town into a single half day. Because the boat is small and fast, transit between stops is short.

The route covers the Blue Lagoon, Solta Island and Trogir. The Trogir stop is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town, which reviewers describe as a good place for a quick walk and lunch.

The ride needs explaining: several reviews mention a bumpy crossing between stops that many found fun but some found uncomfortable. The crew gives commentary on each stop, and reviewers repeatedly praise them for safety, friendliness and local history. Not suited for pregnant travellers, anyone with serious back or heart problems, or children under 4. The boat is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points come up again and again in reviews of this exact trip, and they shape what the day actually feels like.

• Rocky entry. The Blue Lagoon is a stony, rocky beach rather than sand, and one reviewer said the stones are extremely sharp and easy to hurt your feet on. Water shoes are recommended by the operator and by travellers who went without.
• Bumpy ride. This is a genuine speedboat, and the ride between islands is fast and bumpy. Reviewers mostly called it exciting, but anyone with back problems should note the listing advises against the trip for them. Life jackets are available on request from the crew.
• Small group. The listing caps the boat at 12 guests and describes the experience as intimate and personalized. Crew members explain each stop and share history along the way, which reviewers appreciated.
• Bring your own. Food and drinks are not included, so bring water. Beach clothes, sunscreen and a beach towel are on the operator's packing list. Snorkel gear is listed as included, with goggles and snorkels available from the crew.
• Weather dependent. The trip requires good weather and will be cancelled in poor conditions, with a different date or a full refund offered. A minimum number of travellers also applies, with the same rebooking or refund options. Rolling seas bothered a few reviewers but did not stop the tour.
• Getting there. The meeting point is the TOTO TRAVEL office on Trumbićeva obala, near public transport. One reviewer walking from the cruise dock advised leaving at least half an hour before the stated start time, as the office is some distance from the dock.

Common issues. The Blue Lagoon is the biggest letdown for some: it is a rocky cove with sharp stones, and one reviewer found it difficult to get into the water without water shoes. The bumpy speedboat ride divides opinion, and the listing itself advises against the trip for pregnant travellers or those with back or heart problems. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and children under 4 cannot join. Weather or low numbers can cancel a departure, with a rebooking or refund offered.
