Blue Lagoon and 3 Island Boat Tour with Food and Drinks Included

The day’s best contrast is between Šolta’s clear water around a wrecked ship and the bright swimming stop at the Blue Lagoon. You get three island stops without arranging separate boats, beach visits and meals yourself.

I like that the trip includes donuts, a burger lunch and unlimited drinks, plus snorkeling gear and sunbeds. I also like the final stop at Beach Bar Borko on Čiovo, a beachside finish that gives the day a more relaxed feel than a quick photo stop.

One consideration: this is a long day on the water, about nine hours, and lunch is a burger with fries rather than a more elaborate meal. Stop lengths are not specified, so don’t book expecting a particular amount of time at any one beach.

Key points to know before you go

• Šolta starts the island-hopping: At Nečujam, you can swim in the water around a wrecked ship.
• The Blue Lagoon is the clear-water stop: Bring your swim things and make use of the snorkeling equipment.
• Čiovo ends the route: Beach Bar Borko pairs a beach stop with a drink-and-rest break.
• Food is built into the day: Expect breakfast donuts and a lunch choice of beef, tuna steak or vegetarian burger, served with fries.
• Drinks are included: Wine is unlimited, and water and lemonade are also available without limit.
• Meet at stand 11 on Split’s Riva: The departure time is 9:00 am, and the full trip lasts about nine hours.

A full day from Split, with three island stops

This tour is designed to make a day at sea easy to plan. You meet in central Split, board for a route that includes Šolta, the Blue Lagoon near Drvenik and Čiovo, and have meals and basic beach equipment included. That combination is useful if you want a swim-focused day but would rather not piece together transport, lunch and drinks on your own.

The price is $55.53 per person. For a roughly nine-hour outing with a boat trip, three stops, breakfast, lunch, unlimited drinks, snorkeling equipment and sunbeds, that is a practical package. You are paying for a full day and the convenience of having several essentials handled, not for a luxury cruise or a gourmet lunch.

The boat leaves at 9:00 am from Split’s Riva, the waterfront promenade opposite Diocletian’s Palace. The exact return time is not provided, so leave the evening flexible rather than planning a tight connection or a fixed dinner reservation.

Finding stand 11 on Split’s Riva

The meeting point is stand number 11 on the seafront side of the Riva, around the middle of the promenade and near the excursion boats. The stands have numbers in their upper corners, which should help you pick out the right one among the other boat-tour desks.

Arrive with enough time to locate the stand and get ready to board. The start time is 9:00 am, and the mobile ticket makes it convenient to keep your booking on your phone. The tour is near public transportation, which helps if you are staying elsewhere in Split.

The Riva is directly across from Diocletian’s Palace, so the meeting point is easy to place on a map. Still, the promenade can have several excursion stands close together. Check the number carefully rather than relying only on the general area or the boats.

Nečujam on Šolta: swimming by a wreck

The first island stop is Nečujam on Šolta. The draw here is a wrecked ship in the water, giving the swim a point of interest beyond simply stepping into the sea. You can swim through the surrounding water and use the provided snorkeling equipment to take a closer look.

This is one of the tour’s most distinctive stops. It combines a swim with a visible feature to explore, and it gives you a good reason to bring a mask rather than treating the outing as a sequence of beach breaks. The water and the wreck are the focus, so this stop is best suited to you if you are comfortable getting in the sea.

Snorkeling equipment is included for use, but there is a refundable deposit of 10 euros for the set. Keep that in mind when you budget and when you return the equipment. The tour also includes sunbeds, though the details of their availability at each stop are not specified.

The first two stops are the strongest part of the day for many people who value scenery and swimming. The crew is described as friendly and helpful, with a personal touch, which matters on a boat trip where questions about gear, boarding and the stops can shape how relaxed the day feels.

Blue Lagoon: a clear-water pause

The next stop is the Blue Lagoon near Drvenik. Its appeal is simple: clear water and time to swim. The stop gives you another chance to get into the sea, this time in a setting known for water that can make you want to stay longer.

The tour’s description places lunch at this second stop. You can choose a 100 percent beef burger, a tuna steak burger or a vegetarian burger, with French fries. This is a useful, filling meal in the middle of a long day, though the meal is best understood as casual boat-trip fare rather than a restaurant lunch. The available feedback describes it as adequate, which is a fair expectation to bring.

Donuts are included for breakfast, and you also get unlimited wine, water and lemonade. That can make the day feel less like a series of extra purchases, especially when you are out on the water for hours. Extra lunch or snacks are not included, so if you tend to get hungry between meals, bring your own snacks.

The Blue Lagoon stop is likely to be the part you most associate with swimming in clear water. But the exact length of each stop is not given. If you have your heart set on a long, uninterrupted swim, keep in mind that this is a multi-stop group excursion, not a beach day based at one location.

Čiovo and Beach Bar Borko: a slower finish

The last stop is on Čiovo at Beach Bar Borko, described as a tucked-away beach bar with a good beach. After two stops centered on swimming, this final pause adds a different kind of break: you can enjoy the beach and the bar rather than treating every stop as a snorkeling session.

The beach-bar setting is a welcome change of pace toward the end of a long outing. It may be the stop where you feel tempted to linger, though the tour has a schedule and does not specify how much time you will have there. The route’s final stop is a strong fit if you like ending a boat trip with a relaxed beach atmosphere.

The three stops offer variety without requiring you to arrange the transfers yourself. Šolta brings the wreck and snorkeling; the Blue Lagoon brings the clear-water swim and lunch; Čiovo finishes with a beach bar. That mix is more appealing than three stops that all offer exactly the same thing.

What the food and drinks add to the value

At $55.53, included food and drinks make a real difference to the value. Breakfast donuts help get the day started, and lunch is included rather than left for you to find on an island stop. Unlimited wine, water and lemonade are also part of the price.

The lunch choices cover different preferences: beef, tuna steak or vegetarian burger, all with fries. You should not expect a long meal or a wide menu, but having a choice and a substantial plate is practical when you have spent much of the morning swimming and traveling by boat.

Snacks are not included, and extra lunch is not covered. If you like to graze through the day, packing a small snack is sensible. Also account for the 10-euro refundable snorkeling-set deposit. It is not an extra cost if returned as required, but you will need to have the amount available.

The overall value is strongest if you plan to use the included equipment, eat the provided meals and enjoy the drinks. If you do not drink wine, swim or want lunch, some of the inclusions matter less, though the island route remains the main reason to book.

Who will enjoy this trip most

This tour suits you if you want to spend most of a day out on the water and prefer a ready-made plan. You get three island stops, swimming opportunities, snorkeling equipment and a beach bar finish, all starting from Split. It can also suit a group with mixed appetites, since lunch includes beef, fish and vegetarian choices.

It is a particularly good fit for people who like active beach stops but do not need a detailed historical tour at every destination. The appeal here is the route, the water and the chance to swim in several places. An English-speaking crew is included, and most people can participate.

Think twice if you want a short excursion, a quiet day on one beach, or a high-end lunch. Nine hours is a substantial commitment, and the meal is casual. The exact duration of each stop and the group size are not specified, so you should book for the overall experience rather than a precise schedule or a small-group atmosphere.

The tour requires good weather. If poor weather cancels the trip, you will be offered another date or a full refund. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time; changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not accepted.

Should you book the Blue Lagoon and 3 Island Boat Tour?

Book it if you want a convenient, full-day island outing from Split, with swimming as the main event and meals and drinks included. The wreck near Nečujam gives the first stop a distinctive edge, while the Blue Lagoon and Beach Bar Borko add two different ways to enjoy the water.

The best reason to choose this trip is its combination of three stops and practical inclusions at a modest price. The main trade-offs are the long duration, a straightforward burger lunch and limited information about stop lengths. If those fit your expectations, it is a sensible way to turn one day in Split into a day among the islands.
