Best Island Food Stops Worldwide — Our Top 8

1.Blue Lagoon and 3 Island Cruise with Food and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,969 reviews · 8 hours · from $81Our pick

Join Pleter Travel at Split’s Riva for an eight-hour island cruise with breakfast donuts, swimming, snorkeling gear, lunch, and unlimited water, lemonade, and wine. You’ll visit Šolta, the Blue Lagoon, and Čiovo, with time for a beach-bar stop. Recent trips have sometimes replaced the advertised shipwreck stop with another swimming spot.

“Great day out visiting three of Split’s beautiful islands. I opted for the tuna steak which was tasty but my daughter didn’t like the veggie option. Lots of people jumped into the water at the Blue Lagoon but we weren’t brave enough (it was mid October and about 20 degrees). The free lemonade is more like lemon squash. And the wine is okay, tastes better the more you have! Overall a lovely day out.”

3.Island Hopping & City Walls Cruise with Food and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 102 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $84

Spend about seven hours cruising from Dubrovnik to Kolocep, Sipan, and Lopud, with swimming time, a fish, chicken, or vegetarian lunch, wine, and sunset views on the return. Host Ana has earned praise for her careful, friendly service. The two-hour stop at Lopud is useful but tight if you want to reach Šunj Beach.

“Fab day out. Boat went off on time, staff all very friendly and helpful. Stopped at first island and then had lunch which was delicious. As much bread as we wanted and they offered seconds of main courses. Arrived back into Dubrovnik on time at 5.45 pm. Very good day”

4.All-Inclusive Blue Lagoon & 3 Island Boat Tour with Food & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 87 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Spend about 8.5 hours aboard Junior Excursions from Split, visiting Maslinica, Blue Lagoon, and St. Fumija. Expect breakfast, lunch, fruit, an open bar, music, snorkeling gear, and time to swim from the boat. The group is capped below full seating capacity, though comfort depends on how busy the boat is.

“Not to crowded, loved that. Friendly staff. Came around and asked if we needed anything severel times. The places we went to was beautiful. Spacious and clean bathrooms aboard. The music lagged a bit to much, maybe because of the connection. But got quite annoying when the music lost sound every other second parts of the journey.”

“La visita delle isole Similan da Krabi sembrava davvero impegnativa ma grazie all’organizzazione puntuale e precisa del tour ci siamo goduti tutto! È stata un’esperienza bellissima e ne sono valse tutte le ore di viaggio fatte. Abbiamo visto Posti meravigliosi, snorkeling fantastico e nuotato con le tartarughe! Sarebbe bello potersi trattenere solo un po’ di più nelle varie tappe ma in generale sono molto soddisfatta. Grazie!”
