“I Have Never Felt So Unsafe – and Then Blamed – by a Tour Company 🚨 I’ve travelled a lot. I’ve been on boats all over the world. But I have NEVER experienced anything like this. We booked a “full-day boat excursion” thinking it would be fun and safe for everyone in our group. Two of us can’t swim — no problem, we thought.

We were given breakfast (doughnut type things) lunch (choice of burgers) and drinks (including free wine!) throughout. The locations were amazing - the most beautiful sea waters we've ever seen and the shipwreck is stunning. A really unique opportunity to be able to see it so closely. It was so fun to see all the fish and wildlife too. There were googles, floating rings and paddle boards to borrow which was great for relaxing. There was enough…”

12.Islands & Blue Lagoon Cruise with Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 11 reviews · 9 hours · from $91

You’ll cruise from Split or Slatine to UNESCO-listed Trogir, swim at the Blue Lagoon, and explore the sunken Kontessa near Šolta. Breakfast, lunch, water, wine, iced tea, fruit, WiFi, and a waterslide are included. Expect random seating, a full day at sea, and some swimming between the boat and attractions.

“No geral o passeio é agradável, as paisagens são bonitas. No entanto, vendem uma imagem da lagoa (que não é uma lagoa) e do naufrágio que não corraponde à realidade. Poderiam organizar as mesas de almoço antes da partida ou até mesmo no momento da compra de forma a que todos pudessem estar com o seu grupo sem andar a trocar de lugar. Não têm equipamento de snorkling completo para todos, nem os outros que anunciam. Atenção aue não é um passeio acessivel a todos, uma vez que o barco para longe das atrações e é necessário ir a nado.”
