Blue Lagoon Trogir: Best Time to Visit & Tour Tips
By Paradise Charter · 30 May 2026 · 6 min read
Twenty minutes by speedboat from Trogir, between Drvenik Veli and the Krknjaši islets, sits a shallow lagoon with a white sandy bottom that turns the water an impossible turquoise. It's the easiest swim spot to reach from Split airport and the best one for families with younger kids.
Best time to go
Go early. Group tours arrive around 11:00 and the lagoon can fill with thirty boats by lunch. We aim for an 08:30 departure from Trogir or a late slot from 16:00 onwards — both leave you near-empty water.
What's the lagoon like?
- Maximum depth around 3 m at the centre — kids can stand at the edges.
- Sandy bottom, no rocks or sea urchins.
- One small konoba on Krknjaši with grilled fish, octopus salad and cold beer.
Pairing the lagoon with another stop
If you have a full day, continue south to Maslinica on Šolta — a fishing village with a row of seven islets and a small castle hotel. Or loop east to a quieter swim at Mavarštica before returning to Trogir.
Frequently asked
- How deep is the Blue Lagoon in Croatia?
- Up to about 3 metres in the centre, with shallow sandy shelves at the edges. Easy snorkelling and safe for younger swimmers.
- Can you go to the Blue Lagoon from Split?
- Yes — we depart from both Split and Trogir. From Trogir it's a 20-minute crossing; from Split it's about 45.
