2.Blue Lagoon & 3 Islands Cruise with Lunch from Split

“We enjoyed this day and Nana our guide was great. The food was good and drinks were available throughout. However, we didn’t visit the sunken boat (because of the weather) - we went to a different swim place instead. And although we did visit the blue lagoon we didn’t feel like we really saw it because the boat anchored so far away ( maybe because of the size of the boat?). We enjoyed the stop at Solta.”

Coach journey was a delayed due to latecomers (frustrating for everyone waiting) and also traffic. Tour guide collected cash for Krka tickets whilst en route on the bus and distributed tickets before entrance, 1hr45mins free at the park and VERY clear instructions of the meeting point plus recommendations of park walking routes to best utilise the time following the yellow line/wooden bridge route. 2 hours in Skradin was more than enough for a small but beautiful place.
