What to expect on your Budikovac Blue Lagoon tour?

1/5

Crystal-clear waters

The Blue Lagoon is famed for its crystal-clear waters, where visibility often exceeds 20 meters. Sheltered by small islets, the calm, sunlit bay reveals every detail of the sandy seabed. On most days you'll see shells, starfish, and schools of fish gliding just beneath the surface.

Swimming & snorkeling

The Blue Lagoon is one of the Adriatic’s top snorkeling spots, with depths ranging from 1.5 to 5 meters, making it suitable even for beginners. Many tours offer snorkel gear, though bringing your own is wise. Since it's sheltered by islets, the lagoon stays swim-friendly for almost year-round.

Secluded atmosphere

Compared to larger islands, Budikovac feels quiet and untouched. The lagoon has a laid-back vibe where you can float, sunbathe, and unwind away from the bustle of Split or Hvar.

Beach & relaxation

Most tours allow time to relax on the pebble beach, soak up the sun, or enjoy refreshments at the local beach bar. It’s the kind of stop where you can slow down the pace after hopping between caves and islands.

Part of a bigger adventure

The Blue Lagoon is usually one stop on a longer itinerary that includes the Blue Cave, Vis, and sometimes the Pakleni Islands. This makes it both a highlight and a refreshing pause in your day of exploration.

Things to know before booking your Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon tours

Boarding points: Most tours depart from Split, but you can also find convenient boarding options from Trogir and Podstrana. Choose the one closest to your stay to save time in the morning.
Private tours available: If you’d like a more personalized experience, go for a private Blue Lagoon tour. These offer flexibility on timing, pace, and stops making them perfect for small groups, couples, or families looking for a more exclusive day out.
Quick speedboat options: For everyone short on time, opt for the Half-day speedboat tours that take you to Budikovac’s Blue Lagoon for swimming and snorkeling before returning to port. It’s the best way to enjoy the lagoon without committing to a full-day trip.
Unique Cruise variants: Some itineraries combine the Blue Lagoon with other highlights like the Shipwreck near Šolta Island and a traditional Dalmatian lunch on board. These tours are ideal if you want a mix of adventure, culture, and local flavors.
