Sleep in Split, explore by day. No packing, no checking in and out, no extra accommodation costs. You're back by 5-6 PM with energy to enjoy your evenings.
Everything Included
Boat, captain, snorkeling gear, drinks, lunch on most full-day trips. One price, no surprises. Just show up at the harbor and we handle the rest.
Local Knowledge
Our captains grew up on these islands. They know the cove that's empty when the famous beach is packed, the konoba where locals eat, the spot where the water is clearest.

Most Popular Day Trip Destinations
Blue Lagoon (Šolta)
30 minutes from Split. Shallow turquoise water, sandy bottom, perfect for swimming. The #1 day trip — calm, family-friendly, and stunning.
Hvar Island
1 hour by boat. Croatia's most famous island — Venetian town, lavender fields, the Pakleni archipelago. Glamorous and historic in one day.
Brač Island
45 minutes by boat. Home to Zlatni Rat — Croatia's most photographed beach. Great for swimming, wind-surfing, and authentic island village life.
How to Plan Your Day Trip
When to Go
May to October is the season. June and September have the best weather without the crowds. Most tours leave at 9-10 AM and return by 5-6 PM. Earlier morning departures mean fewer boats at popular spots.
Choosing the Right Trip
If you have one day in Split, do the Blue Lagoon — it's the easiest, most relaxing, and the water is unforgettable. If you have two, add Hvar or Brač. For families with kids, Šolta is calmer and less rough on the water. For couples, sunset cruises are unbeatable.
What to Bring
Swimsuit, sunscreen (high SPF — Mediterranean sun is intense), hat, sunglasses, towel, water shoes for rocky beaches. We provide snorkeling gear, water and shade on the boat. Bring a light jacket for the return — it can get breezy on the water.
