The tour's highlights

The custom boat tour by Tinel Tours Split takes you to three breathtaking destinations along the Dalmatian coast: Maslinica, Blue Lagoon, and Trogir. Each location offers a unique experience and highlights the natural beauty, culture, and history of Croatia's seaside.

Maslinica

Maslinica is a peaceful fishing village on Šolta Island, enveloped by lush Mediterranean vegetation. Its stone houses and docks wrap around an aquamarine bay. Guests can savour fresh seafood by the waterfront or stroll along the promenade, taking in the splendid Adriatic views. With its relaxed pace, Maslinica is the perfect first stop to unwind.

Blue Lagoon

Drvenik Island's pristine Blue Lagoon, with its pristine waters and powder-soft sands, truly lives up to its name. Families can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on the beach. The unspoiled natural beauty provides a serene setting to escape the daily grind.

Trogir

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Trogir offers a living museum of Croatian history and culture. Wander through ancient squares and Gothic cathedrals for a glimpse into the past. The bustling city provides a lively contrast to the day's earlier stops. Trogir is the cherry on top for those seeking both natural and cultural enrichment.

Maslinica: The Serene Retreat

Nestled on the west coast of Olta Island, Maslinica captures the essence of a peaceful retreat. Lush Mediterranean flora envelops this charming fishing village, where traditional stone dwellings scatter around a breathtaking aquamarine bay. 

Savour the local gastronomy by the waterfront, where freshly prepared seafood dishes showcase the day's catch. Maslinica's restaurants serve grilled fish, mussels cooked in wine, octopus salads, and other specialties showcasing the bounty of the Adriatic Sea. Dining al fresco, either under the shade of olive trees or by the harbor, is a delightful experience.

A gentle stroll along the promenade offers splendid views of the Adriatic Sea and surrounding islands. The panorama of glittering blue waters, historic buildings, and verdant hills makes it a perfect spot for families to unwind and create lasting memories. Maslinica's peaceful atmosphere, fresh cuisine, and picturesque setting provide the ideal escape to reconnect with nature and loved ones.

The Blue Lagoon: A Pristine Haven

Explore the Blue Lagoon on Drvenik Island, renowned for its pristine waters and tranquil ambiance. This idyllic location is a sanctuary for those looking to escape the daily grind. Families can enjoy snorkelling in the vibrant underwater world, where schools of fish and colourful coral formations delight both young and old.  The soft white sands provide plenty of space for relaxation, while kids can participate in games or build sandcastles along the shore.

The surrounding scenery, characterised by its untouched beauty, provides a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely day in the sun. Lush pine forests envelope the lagoon, where the chorus of cicadas accompanies you as you explore secluded coves and inlets by kayak or stand-up paddleboard.  Let the gentle lapping of waves against the hull lull you into tranquilly as you anchor for a swim or simply admire the panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea. With plenty of space to unwind far from the crowds, the Blue Lagoon promises a pristine haven for families to enjoy the best of nature along the Dalmatian coast.

Trogir: A Historic Tapestry

The tour culminates in the ancient city of Trogir, a site of immense historical significance and beauty. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Trogir is a testament to architectural grandeur and cultural depth. Meander through its narrow lanes lined with gothic and Renaissance buildings, many with ornate stone carvings and red-tiled rooftops. The imposing Cathedral of St. Lawrence dominates the main square; its soaring bell towers and triple-naved interior are stunning examples of 13th-century Romanesque architecture.

Wander through the bustling city market to see local vendors sell fresh produce, handmade crafts, and other regional specialties. The interplay of light and shadow in Trogir's quiet corners and open plazas creates a delightful contrast that appeals to cultural aficionados and curious travellers alike. Absorb the historical ambiance that permeates this mediaeval town as you explore its highlights. Trogir's vibrant market squares, charming stone houses, and magnificent cathedral offer a delightful blend of experiences that make it a fitting culmination to this coastal journey through Croatia's natural and cultural treasures.
