Oyster and Wine Excursion
We had the best time on this excursion from Dubrovnik. It was just my wife and I and our driver, Vedrana, and she was awesome! She was so knowledgeable about the various locations and the history of Croatia. Yes, the drive from Dubrovnik to Ston is fairly lengthy, but the trip is well worth it. We stopped in the town of Ston for about an hour and had some breakfast (my wife had oysters and wine!) on our own...it was good to get out of the car. We then went to a local oyster farm. We took about a 10 minute boat ride out to a floating platform that had tables and examples of the devices they used to cultivate oysters and mussels. Our host was awesome and very knowledgeable. He gave us some grappa and candied appetizers while he got the platform ready. He then gave us a brief overview of how the oysters and mussels are farmed. He then shucked a bunch of oysters for us to eat with wine. He then prepared a huge portion of mussels and brought out some anchovies. All the food was so fresh and delicious. We stayed on the platform for about an hour total, headed back to shore and met up with Vedrana and headed to the winery. We went to a small family vinery where we tasted a white and four red wines. He gave us the history of his winery and told us all about the wines we were drinking...of course we bought a couple of bottles. We then headed back to Dubrovnik. We stopped about halfway home at a scenic overlook where you could see many of the islands offshore. The whole way home Vadrana shared personal stories and a history lesson of the area, it was all very interesting and enjoyable. We would absolutely do this tour again.

Disappointing - cancelled 7.30pm the night before the morning tour - citing weather then offering a lo tour the same day
We booked the morning Blue Lagoon & Trogir half-day speedboat tour for our family of four, and my parents were particularly looking forward to it. At approximately 7:30pm the NIGHT BEFORE, Gray Line informed us that our morning tour was cancelled. At that point it was far too late to realistically find and book a comparable alternative for the following morning. We were offered an afternoon tour or a “complimentary upgrade” to a full-day boat tour from 9am–5:30pm. Unfortunately, we already had afternoon plans, which is exactly why we had specifically booked the morning half-day tour. What was particularly frustrating was being told weather was the reason for the cancellation while at the same time being offered a full-day boat tour. That understandably left us questioning the explanation we were given. We did receive a refund, but that isn't really the point. When people are travelling internationally, their time in each destination is limited. Cancelling an excursion at 7:30pm the night before gives customers almost no opportunity to reorganise their day. My parents had been really looking forward to this experience, and instead we were left scrambling to work out what to do in Split the following morning. Very disappointing communication and an awful way to handle a last-minute cancellation.

Great experience!...
Great experience! Beautiful stops! Our captain was great and so fun. Even saw a beautiful sunset on the way back!

Amazing experience - this...
Amazing experience - this area is gorgeous. We also had a terrific boat - comfortable seating and a shade cover. The captain was a super hero - helping people, other boats, etc along the way. Would highly recommend!

A fun way to spend 1/2 day!
A fun way to spend half a day! The speed boat experience made it unique and enjoyable. Nice people shared our trip on board today and there were lots of places to sit including the back where you got wet from the spray! Our guide Paula and our driver were lovely. Paula took photos of my family and I in the sea together and had a great music playlist! I could listen to ABBA all day long. You stop 3 times and can swim twice ( in the blue lagoon ( which is full of boats in August) and off a beach at stop 3. We just lay down and slept for an hour on the pebble beach. Only bit that might be a concern for those with less mobility is how you get in/ out of the boat at different stops as the boats are tied together due to space issues so you must climb across several to get to land. Lots of help is given so no chance of falling in the sea but a unique experience which I have never come across before and I’ve taken a lot of boat tours. I would recommend it to get out of Spilt and see some of the other islands.

Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $68 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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour 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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 670 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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour?
+
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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour 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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour?
+
Around 234 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 Split: Half-Day Blue Lagoon, Čiovo and Trogir Boat Tour 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 Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister 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.
