About this experience
This one is our top half-day tour you need to experience if you are staying on Šolta or wondering what to do when you get to Šolta from Split. Our favorite trait of this experience is that it’s a slow tour and very authentic: We offer a laid-back detour while you see, feel and taste some of the best things that Šolta has to offer. A private guide is by your side all the way: During your one-hour-visit of a hundreds-of-years old olive grove and in the factory, where you learn about the process from harvest to the final product and experience how to taste olive oil. The delicacies in the lunch courses are paired with different varieties of olive oil. But before lunch we take you for a leisurely stroll around the village of Gornje Selo so you can experience the heritage of the rural architecture and listen to stories about the lives of the locals. Our final stop is the beautiful Maslinica bay in the far west of Šolta, a place to dive into the sea or just have a coffee on the promenade.

Lovely island, wonderful hosts!
While docked in Split during a cruise of Croatia and Italy we decided to visit the lovely island of Solta, a easy 45 minute ferry ride from Split (30 min. return via catamaran) Ahead of the trip, owner Frane was very prompt in answering questions and he offered a lot of help with ferry/catamaran transport to the island. After being picked up at the ferry dock we were taken on a tour of the olive groves and then went to the production facility where we had a tasting of all of the oils. Afterward, a delicious lunch of cheese & charcuterie, risotto and dessert was prepared for us by owner Frane’s son Marko. We were very happy with our choice to spend the day with such charming hosts!

I highly recommend this tour to...
<p>I highly recommend this tour to everyone! We started with a great tour of the island and a small village in an air-conditioned mini bus before heading out to one of oou fantastic guide's Frane olive groves. Along the way Frane stopped the bus to pick wild herbs, and educated us on the history of the island, which is fascinating. At the olive grove, Frane told us about the production of olive oil from the cultivation of trees to harvesting before heading back to the mill where we saw the impressive processing equipment. Frane's son, Marko, prepared a deliciously home cooked three course meal for us and left us between courses to try all of the amazing Olynthia olive oils they produce on site which gave us a great opportunity to test different tastes and combinations of flavours. The flavours are wonderful and the relaxed setting and helpful guidance from Frane made the experience a lot of fun. There was no hard sell but we were heavily laden with oils when Marko drove us to stretch our legs and walk off our yummy and plentiful lunch at a gorgeous little village on the west side of the island. The last stop of the day was a secluded swimming spot not too far from the ferry port where we swam in crystal clear waters and bathed in the lovely Croatian sunshine. Frane and Marko are wonderful hosts and the interaction between them added an extra element of humour to the tour and we were asking to be adopted by them by the end of the day. This was a superb way to spend my birthday. If you're an olive oil aficionado or not, definitely take this tour!</p>

<p>The tour itself was very informative and interesting however, I felt the price was too high. We opted out of the lunch, which I'm glad we did. The island has nothing to see/do/offer as a way of lengthening the tour, and we ended up catching an earlier ferry back to Split. Maybe during the summer people want to swim there, but in the end of Nov. you sure don't. Maybe you drop your tour price in the fall.</p>

A sensational tour! Solta is...
<p>A sensational tour! Solta is striking. Our tour of the olive groves and factory by the proprietor was educational + interesting + fun! Lunch cooked with their olive oil was the most scrumptious pesto ever! Tasting their sustainably produced oils was a delight and I am still enjoying them at home.</p>

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $260 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.
Is Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Olive Oil Tour of Solta Island with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Split?
+
On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Split?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Split?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
