✨ Blue Lagoon Croatia | Boat Tours from Split & Trogir | Discover the Blue Lagoon near Drvenik Veli

Just a short boat ride from Split (14 nautical miles) or Trogir (8 nautical miles), the Blue Lagoon (Krknjaši Bay) is one of Dalmatia’s most popular day-trip destinations.
Nestled between Drvenik Veli and two small islets, this shallow lagoon shines with crystal-clear turquoise waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and soaking up the Adriatic sun.

The Blue Lagoon is not only beautiful but also peaceful, offering the ideal mix of relaxation and adventure. Moreover, it’s easy to reach and suitable for travelers of all ages.

Why Visit the Blue Lagoon?

🌊 A Turquoise Paradise

The lagoon’s transparent waters reveal colorful fish and marine life beneath the surface. As you float above the sandy seabed, the sunlight creates a brilliant play of color and light.

🏝️ Unspoiled Adriatic Beauty

Surrounded by small islands and quiet coves, the Blue Lagoon remains one of Croatia’s few places where nature feels untouched. Here, you can unwind and escape the rush of the mainland.

🤿 Perfect for Snorkeling

Because the water is shallow and calm, snorkeling is easy and enjoyable for everyone. Therefore, it’s a great choice for families and first-time snorkelers.

🍴 Taste Local Flavors

After a swim, stop by one of the two traditional fish restaurants on the lagoon’s edge. Fresh seafood, olive oil, and local wine make for the perfect Adriatic lunch.

Explore Drvenik Veli Island

Your Blue Lagoon tour also gives you the chance to explore Drvenik Veli, an island rich in history and charm.

🌿 A Peaceful Island Escape

Drvenik Veli has been inhabited since the 15th century and today is home to only about 170 residents. Its slow pace of life and warm hospitality make it the perfect contrast to busy Split or Trogir.

🏰 Island Highlights

While on the island, take time to visit:

• The village of Drvenik Veliki

• The 16th-century Moretti Castle

• The Church of Saint Juraj

• The scenic Solinska Bay on the southern side

Each spot reveals a bit more of Croatia’s traditional coastal culture.

When to Visit & Essential Tips

☀️ Best Season

The best time to visit is June to September, when the weather is warm and sunny. However, if you prefer fewer crowds, consider coming in spring or early autumn.

🕒 Best Time of Day

To enjoy a quieter atmosphere, plan your trip for early morning or late afternoon. At these times, the lagoon is calmer, and the light is perfect for photos.

📸 Don’t Forget

Bring your camera! The lagoon’s turquoise hues and soft sunlight create unforgettable photo opportunities.

Combine the Blue Lagoon with Nearby Attractions

While visiting, you can easily combine your Blue Lagoon boat trip with nearby cultural gems. For example, stop in Trogir, a UNESCO-listed medieval town, or Split, home to Diocletian’s Palace, one of Europe’s best-preserved Roman monuments.

Both destinations offer vibrant history, local markets, and seaside cafés — the perfect way to complete your Adriatic adventure.
