The Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is a multicolored Adriatic pool that glows in different shades of blue. Just why it is a cerulean paradise is thanks to its seafloor, which is composed of crushed seashells and white sand. Its crystalline sea presents the perfect platform for snorkelers, and the area is also a natural habitat for dolphins, meaning there is a good chance you’ll spot them on your trip.
Part of what makes the Blue Lagoon so special is that it is best reached by boat, allowing for only the most fortunate and privileged of guests – you know, the ones smart enough to summon a boat for a day to break away from the city crowds and noisy summer streets.
Thanks to its proximity to Split, tours to the Blue Lagoon are equipped with a bonus. While half-day tours are available that pack in the Blue Lagoon and Trogir, some full-day tours can sweep you away to Hvar and Šolta islands, too.

Prepare for the Blue Lagoon Tour
Since tours to the Blue Lagoon will always require speedboat transportation, we suggest you dress casually and comfortably. Some tours will offer water/windproof jackets on the speedboat, though it is recommended to bring SPF, a camera, and comfortable shoes or water shoes. A swimsuit and towel are also mandatory in our book.
If we’ve convinced you to sign up for the next Blue Lagoon tour, you should certainly consider the weather. Since this tour does travel by speedboat, jumping on this journey during the warmer months is our suggestion, since rain and wind would spoil what should be a stellar day at sea.
