Between 11:00 and 15:00 in August, thirty boats share it. The trick is arithmetic, not secrecy: <strong>go before 10:30 or after 16:00<\/strong> and you&#8217;ll share turquoise shallows with a handful of sailboats instead. Group tours can&#8217;t do that; a private boat exists to do exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>What makes it special: a sandbar between Drvenik Veli and the islet of Krknja\u0161 keeps the water waist-deep and impossibly clear over white sand \u2014 rare in pebble-and-rock Dalmatia. Snorkelling is easy and safe for kids; bring masks, the seagrass meadows hold more life than first glance suggests.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Trogir_in_two_hours\">Trogir in two hours<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Kamerlengo fortress, the Radovan portal of St Lawrence&#8217;s cathedral, gelato lanes barely wider than your shoulders \u2014 Trogir rewards a slow loop and a \u010devapi lunch. Arriving by sea to the old-town riva beats the parking chaos comprehensively. If you have a third hour: climb the cathedral bell tower for the lagoon-to-mountains panorama, then coffee on the riva watching the yachts squeeze under the \u010ciovo bridge.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_do_it_in_2026\">How to do it in 2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Option<\/th>\n<th>How it works<\/th>\n<th>Cost<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Group speedboat tour<\/td>\n<td>Fixed 4\u20135 h loop, ~10\u201312 people, lagoon at peak hours<\/td>\n<td>~\u20ac55\u201375 pp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Public bus\/ferry to Trogir + skip lagoon<\/td>\n<td>Cheap but no lagoon access<\/td>\n<td>~\u20ac4\u20138 each way<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fr\/excursions\/\">Private boat half\/full day<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Your timing \u2014 early lagoon, Trogir lunch, \u0160olta or \u010ciovo coves after<\/td>\n<td>from ~\u20ac400\u2013700 per boat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip:<\/strong> pair the 08:30 lagoon slot with an 11:00 Trogir arrival \u2014 you swim the lagoon at its emptiest and walk Trogir before the day-trip buses unload at noon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skipper&#8217;s tip #2:<\/strong> on the way back, ask for the \u010ciovo south-coast route \u2014 the coves between Okrug and Slatine are where Split locals swim, and they&#8217;re empty even in August because the road access is poor.

And if your holiday continues to the islands instead, the lagoon pairs beautifully as a stop en route \u2014 see the <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fr\/blog\/water-taxi-split-price-2026\/\">2026 water taxi price guide<\/a> for how per-boat pricing works on custom routes.<\/p>\n<p><!--de-exp-2026--><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Planning_it_around_your_transfer_2026\">Planning it around your transfer (2026)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because Trogir sits right beside Split Airport, the Blue Lagoon makes an easy first or last day of a trip \u2014 a swim on the way in from the airport, or before a late flight home. A private boat reaches the lagoon off Drvenik before the tour armada arrives, then carries on to <a href=\"https:\/\/dalmatia-express.com\/fr\/taxi-boat\/split-to-solta\/\">nearby \u0160olta<\/a> or towards Hvar instead of doubling back to Split.
