Blue Lagoon & Nečujam Full Day Tour

About This Tour

Embark on an unforgettable full-day adventure from Stobreč Harbor to the legendary Blue Lagoon and the serene Nečujam Bay on Šolta Island. Aboard our beautifully crafted 20-meter traditional wooden boat, you will cruise through the crystal-clear waters of the Central Dalmatian archipelago, stopping at the most breathtaking swimming and snorkeling spots the Adriatic has to offer. The Blue Lagoon, nestled between the islands of Krknjaši, is famous for its impossibly turquoise water, sandy seabed, and calm, shallow bays - perfect for swimmers of all levels. Continue to Nečujam Bay on Šolta Island, a hidden gem surrounded by lush pine forests and pristine coastline. Throughout the day, our experienced crew prepares fresh Croatian cuisine on board while you relax on the sun deck, explore underwater reefs with provided snorkeling gear, or simply soak in the Mediterranean sunshine. This is more than a boat tour - it is an authentic taste of life on the Adriatic, the way locals have enjoyed it for centuries.

The route — what you'll pass on the way

From Stobreč Harbor we head west along the Split peninsula, passing the historic Diocletian's Palace on your right and the wooded hills of Marjan beyond. Within 30 minutes the city skyline gives way to open water as we cross the Brač Channel — on clear days you'll see the silhouette of Vidova Gora (778 m, the highest island peak in the Adriatic) to the south. We approach the Šolta archipelago from the east, threading past the small islands of Mrduja and Šešula before arriving at the sheltered bay of the Krknjaši Blue Lagoon. After the swim stop, we cruise the south coast of Šolta — small chapels and stone villages dot the shoreline — before anchoring at the wider Nečujam Bay for lunch and an afternoon swim. The return route follows the same channel, this time with the Split skyline growing on the horizon as the afternoon light catches the cathedral bell tower. Total round-trip distance is approximately 30 nautical miles.

The boat

Our boat is a 20-metre traditional Dalmatian wooden vessel — originally a working commercial fishing boat that Captain Marin ran for fifteen years out of Stobreč before converting it for passenger tours. The deck is large enough for everyone to find a spot in the sun or shade, with cushioned benches around the perimeter, a covered cabin for lunch and shelter from wind, and a small swim platform at the stern for easy water access. The oiled-wood deck stays warm but never burns under bare feet — a small thing that turns out to matter on a long summer day, especially compared to the hot fiberglass or aluminium decks on speedboats. Maximum capacity is 80 guests, but we typically run with 40–60 to keep the deck comfortable. All life jackets, snorkeling gear, and freshwater shower facilities are on board.

Cancellation, kids & accessibility

Cancellation: Free up to 24 hours before departure — full refund, no questions asked. After 24 hours, the booking is non-refundable unless we cancel the tour due to weather, in which case you receive a full refund or a rebook on another date.

Kids: The tour is suitable for all ages. Children under 5 sail free; ages 5–12 receive a discounted fare. We carry child-sized life jackets and the boat is stable enough for toddlers (calm waters, no high-speed sections). The Blue Lagoon's shallow bay is ideal for nervous swimmers.

Accessibility: The boat is reachable via a short ramp from the dock at Stobreč; Split Port boarding involves a 30-cm step up. The deck is flat once you're aboard, but the bay swims require water entry from the side of the boat (no shore access at the Blue Lagoon). For specific mobility questions, contact us before booking and we'll be honest about what's feasible.

Why we run a traditional wooden boat

Most Split tours run on fiberglass speedboats or aluminium catamarans. Our boat is a 20-metre traditional wooden Dalmatian vessel — originally a working commercial fishing boat that Captain Marin ran for fifteen years before converting it for passenger tours. It is the same hull, the same captain, the same knowledge of these waters. On the water it is a different day.
