Review · BLUE LAGOON TOURS
Magnific blue lagoon,speed boat towels included
Blue Lagoon from a speedboat is pure joy. You’ll spend real time with emerald water, and the group stays small at up to 12 people.
The day also mixes stops on land, with a relaxed Trogir visit that feels like a mini Venice on the Adriatic.
One thing to plan for: sea conditions can change the exact route. You’ll still get the key highlights, but timing and stops may shift a bit.

- Krknjaši Blue Lagoon with an on-board safety briefing before you get in the water
- Free tour photo, plus 0.5 l water per person to keep the day easy
- Towels included for a smoother beach transition

Speedboat Day from Split, with a small-group feel

This is a classic Adriatic sampler, built around time on the water. You meet in front of the church sv.Frane, then head out from the area of Trg dr. Franje Tuđmana. The boat is Bepo boat 04, and the group is limited to 12, so it does not feel like a cattle call.
I like that the pacing is simple: you move by speedboat, you stop for set blocks of time, and you get back to the same meeting area in the end. If you want a Croatia day that stays active without becoming exhausting, this style fits.
You do need to accept the speedboat rhythm. Expect some motion and wind, and dress for sun and spray. If you get seasick easily, plan carefully, because you are on a moving boat for multiple segments.

Meeting point and getting oriented fast (sv.Frane by Trg dr. Franje Tuđmana)

The whole trip starts at a recognizable spot: you meet in front of the church sv.Frane. That is the key detail because it prevents the usual “where exactly is the operator” stress.
From there, the plan moves through Split, then toward Trogir first. The route matters because it sets up your day: you get a land stop early, then water stops later when you likely want to cool off.
Practical tip: wear your swimsuit under something light if you can. You will waste less time when the swim stops hit, and you will stay calmer if the boat is a little busy around boarding.
The Trogir UNESCO hour, plus a lunch-snag at Tunaholic Fish Bar

Before you go full beach mode, you get one hour in Trogir. This is time for sightseeing and a self-guided walk through the UNESCO-protected old town area. It has that tight, walkable feel where you can see a lot quickly, without needing a strict route.
You’re not stuck in a museum. The schedule is built for wandering neighborhoods at your own pace, with the practical option of stopping for food. After the walk, you can grab a meal at Tunaholic Fish Bar, where you’re told you’ll find a modern take on classic fish dishes.
What I like about this break is that it is not just a photo stop. You get enough time to slow down, find your bearings, and pick a spot to eat. That matters on a day where the rest of the time is on the water and in the sun.
Possible drawback: one hour passes quickly. If you want an in-depth walk of Trogir, you may feel a bit rushed. Use the hour strategically, pick 2 or 3 streets to focus on, and leave yourself room for a good drink or snack.
Krknjaši Blue Lagoon: swim, snorkeling, and an on-boat safety briefing

Now for the reason most people book. The day heads to Krknjaši Blue Lagoon, and you get a longer break here, about 80 minutes. This is where the tour leans into relaxation, with a safety briefing before you get in.
During your time at Blue Lagoon, the schedule includes swim time and snorkeling, plus an on-board aperitif and drinks like beer, cocktail, and coffee. There is something reassuring about the mix: you can be active with snorkeling, then switch to simple floating or relaxing once you’ve had enough sun.
Water clarity is a big selling point, and the highlights call out emerald-colored water. In practice, that kind of color makes snorkeling more fun because you can see better close to the boat, and it also makes simple swimming feel more like a postcard.
Practical tips for this stop:
- Bring sunscreen early, not right before you jump in. You will forget once you’re in motion.
- If you plan to snorkel, keep your mask handy and do a quick fit check before you enter the water.
- Wear a hat for the boat ride, then switch to sunglasses once you’re in the water.
Why the safety briefing is worth paying attention to: speedboats and open water mean you should know where the boat will stop, how to reboard, and what the crew expects from you in the water.

Čiovo and Labadusa Beach: the second swim stop with a meal window

After the Blue Lagoon break, the tour continues toward Čiovo and then to Labadusa Beach. You get about an hour here, which is a nice second chance to swim and snorkel without feeling like your whole day is underwater.
This stop also comes with aperitif time and drinks like beer, cocktail, and coffee, plus lunch time. The schedule gives you enough flexibility to do one main thing first, then switch. For example, swim for 20 to 30 minutes, then dry off and eat, then snorkel again if conditions look good.
I like that the tour does not force you into a rigid agenda at Labadusa. You can keep it easy, sit in the sun, and enjoy the peace, or you can stay busy and explore the water.
One consideration: because sea conditions can be unpredictable, the exact route is not guaranteed to be identical. The crew will do their best to keep you satisfied, but you should expect small adjustments, especially around timing between water stops.
What the included extras actually do for your comfort

This tour is not just “boat + swim.” The extras help your day run smoother, especially if you travel light.
You get:
- Speedboat driving as the core transport
- A mask and safety equipment for the water time
- Towels included, so you are not scrambling at the last minute
- Water (0.5 l per person)
- A free photo of the tour
That photo is a small thing, but on a day with moving boats and sunlight, it’s genuinely helpful. You might not have perfect angles or steady hands while juggling swim gear, and it saves you from having to chase everyone for photos.
I also appreciate the water provision. Croatia sun is no joke, and having bottled water included helps you pace yourself between stops.
Price and value: is $73 per person fair?

At $73 per person, you are paying for a package that mixes transport, multiple scenic stops, and at least two water-time breaks. You are not just paying for a single beach day. You get Trogir sightseeing time plus two separate swim-focused stops.
Here is the value math in plain terms:
- You get speedboat transport between Split, Trogir, Blue Lagoon, and Labadusa. Boats cost money and take staff to run safely.
- You get included water and towels, plus the included mask and safety gear.
- You also get time in Trogir, including access to a meal option at Tunaholic Fish Bar during the break.
- Blue Lagoon and Labadusa both include drink service and time for snorkeling.
If you were to independently arrange a speedboat excursion and then pay separately for drinks, gear, and guided stops, the total could climb quickly. So this price tends to feel fair if you want the whole route, not just one stop.
If you are the type who hates being on boats, then it may feel expensive for a lot of movement. But if you like speedboat energy and want a well-paced itinerary, the price makes sense.
Who this tour fits best, and who should think twice

This works best for adults and older kids who are comfortable getting to and from a speedboat and spending time in the water. The tour is not suitable for:
- children under 5 years
- pregnant women
- people with mobility impairments
- wheelchair users
- people over 287 lbs (130 kg)
If you have balance or health concerns, or you get seasick easily, treat that warning seriously. Speedboats are fast, and reboarding can happen quickly.
Who will enjoy it most:
- couples and small groups who want two beach stops
- people who like a mix of town walking and water time
- anyone chasing the Blue Lagoon look without spending all day in transit
Who might not love it:
- travelers who want a slow, land-only day
- anyone who wants guaranteed route details with no sea-related changes
Quick packing list that prevents day-of headaches

The tour gives you towels, but you still want your essentials ready. Bring:
- passport or ID card
- sunglasses
- sun hat
- swimwear and beachwear
- sunscreen
- comfortable clothes, plus a light jacket (wind can happen on the water)
- towel (the tour includes towels, but having your own can be comforting)
- cash (handy for extra purchases like meals)
Also, consider a small dry bag for your phone and tickets. You will be on and off the boat, and you do not want stress over wet stuff.
Should you book Magnific Blue Lagoon by speedboat?
I’d book this if you want a straightforward Croatia day with a small group, real time in the water, and an early dose of town walking in Trogir. The combination of Blue Lagoon time, Labadusa Beach time, included water, towels, and a free tour photo makes the day feel packaged, not pieced together.
Skip it if speedboat motion is a dealbreaker for you, or if you fall into any of the listed restrictions. And if you expect the exact route to never change, be mentally flexible, since the sea can force adjustments.
If you’re going to Dalmatia and you want that classic Adriatic swim day with a bit of UNESCO charm on the side, this one is a solid match.
