The turquoise shallows between Drvenik and Krknjaš are some of the clearest water in Dalmatia — reachable only by boat. Here's what to expect, what to bring, and how to book the right tour.
Between Drvenik Veliki and the islet of Krknjaš, west of Trogir.
Shallow, calm, brilliantly clear water — ideal for swimming and snorkelling.
By boat only. Half-day and full-day tours leave from Trogir and Split.
The Blue Lagoon is a sheltered, sandy-bottomed channel where the sea glows turquoise even in deep summer. Because there's no road to it, the water stays pristine — and a boat tour is the easy way in. It pairs naturally with the coves on our best beaches in Trogir guide and the wider day trips from Trogir.
Calm, shallow and warm — comfortable for children and non-confident swimmers, with shoals of fish over the bright seabed for snorkellers.
Low, scrubby islets and anchored boats; bring shade. Most tours moor for 45–90 minutes so there's real time in the water, not just a photo stop.
Šolta's Maslinica bays, a hidden-cove lunch, or a stop in Trogir's old town — full-day "three or five islands" tours roll several highlights into one, or step up to the bigger Hvar & Blue Cave day. See all Trogir boat tours.
Bookable online with instant confirmation and, on most, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The classic: the Blue Lagoon plus two or three more islands and coves, with several swimming and snorkelling stops and time on the water. The best all-round day out.
Adds the quiet bays of Šolta and a hidden-cove lunch to the lagoon — a relaxed, well-fed day for nature lovers who want fewer crowds.
Short on time? A speedboat run straight to the lagoon and back — maximum swimming, minimum day. Great if you've a day trip or dinner planned too.

The clear water is made for snorkelling, and water shoes help on rocky entries. Some tours lend gear, but bringing your own is safest.
There's little shade on the islets — pack reef-safe sun cream, a hat and a light cover-up, plus plenty of water.
Earlier departures reach the lagoon before the midday fleet, so you get the clear water at its calmest and least crowded.
July and August tours sell out. Reserve online with free cancellation to hold your spot and stay flexible.
Most Blue Lagoon tours leave from Trogir or Čiovo — a central base means a short walk to the boat. See our best hotels in Trogir guide.

The Blue Lagoon is a shallow, turquoise bay between the islets of Drvenik Veliki and Krknjaš, off the coast west of Trogir. It is reachable only by boat, which is why it stays so clear and is best visited on a tour.
Most Blue Lagoon boat tours from Trogir or Split start from around £50 per person. Full-day trips that add stops such as Šolta, the Maslinica bays or a hidden cove with lunch cost a little more.
Bring a swimsuit, a towel, reef-safe sun cream, a hat and water. A snorkel and mask are well worth it for the clear water, and water shoes help on rocky entries. There are no shops in the lagoon itself.
Yes — it is some of the clearest, calmest swimming water in the area and a highlight of any Trogir trip, especially for snorkelling. Go on an earlier departure to enjoy the lagoon before the midday boats arrive.
Reserve a tour with instant confirmation and free cancellation, then lock in a central base so you're a short walk from the boat.
