Šolta

Šolta sits closer to Split than any other island — twenty minutes by speedboat, visible from the Riva on a clear day. And yet, somehow, most tourists skip it entirely. They head to Hvar or Brač, chasing names they’ve heard before. Šolta stays quiet. The locals prefer it that way.

What's on in Šolta?

No famous beaches, no party scene, no Instagram landmarks. There are just six small villages, a handful of konobas, and a pace of life that hasn’t changed much in decades. Olive oil, honey, and wine — Šolta is known for all three. The olives are ancient, some trees over a thousand years old. The honey, especially from rosemary and sage, wins awards. The wine is made in quantities too small to export.

Maslinica

Maslinica, the westernmost village, is situated around a sheltered bay and features a small marina. A baroque castle turned boutique hotel sits on the waterfront. There are a few restaurants, a pebble beach, and fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. Maslinica feels like a secret — the kind of place you tell friends about but hope doesn’t get too popular.

Stomorska

On the north coast, facing Split across the channel. The village has a long seafaring history — many families still fish for a living. The waterfront is lined with stone houses, the bay is calm, and the sunsets are unobstructed. Grab a table at one of the konobas and watch the ferries pass in the distance.

Nečujam

The largest bay on the island, dotted with coves and holiday houses. Families from Croatia have been visiting this bay for generations. Shallow water, pine trees, no crowds even in peak season. The kind of place where kids swim all day and parents read books in the shade.

Getting there

The journey takes only twenty minutes by speedboat from Split. The ferry takes an hour and runs only a few times a day. By private boat, Šolta works as a quick escape — morning swim, long lunch, back in Split by late afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

It all depends on how much time you have. The 3-Island Tour lasts half a day and goes to the Blue Lagoon, Šolta, and Drvenik. It's a good choice if you don't have much time or want to keep your afternoons free. The 4-Island Tour lasts all day and includes lunch. It goes to Brač, the Pakleni Islands, Hvar, and Šolta. The 5-Island Tour is also a full day, but it focuses on Vis, the Blue Cave, Stiniva, Budikovac, and Hvar. This is the tour for you if you want to see the Blue Cave.

You can make a reservation on our website, by email at info@onedayescape.eu, or by phone or WhatsApp at +385 99 209 3064. Viator, GetYourGuide, and Bokun are also ways to make reservations with us. You will get an email with all the information once your payment is confirmed.

You can get a full refund for group tours if you cancel up to 24 hours before the trip. If you cancel within 24 hours or don't show up, you won't get your money back. The rules for private charters are different. If you cancel more than 14 days in advance, you will get a full refund minus a €50 administration fee. If you cancel between 7 and 14 days in advance, you will get 50% of your money back. If you cancel less than 7 days in advance, you will not get a refund.

All tours start at Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda on Split's Riva promenade. Your confirmation email will have the exact meeting place and GPS coordinates. You can find our crew in One Day Escape clothes; they will be there before the departure time.

Please get there 15 minutes before the scheduled departure. This gives you time to find the meeting place, check in with the crew, and get on board without being in a hurry.

Please call or WhatsApp us right away at +385 99 209 3064. Group tours have set times and can't wait long because there are other people on board. We will do what we can, but if you miss the boat, you won't be able to get your money back.

We have a fleet of Colnago speedboats that were made just for us. These boats are not like regular tour boats. Each one is made for day trips along the Dalmatian coast. They have an aluminium hull that handles waves well and makes for a smooth ride. The boats are 12 metres long and have 500 horsepower engines, which makes them fast and stable.

You don't have to know how to swim, but it would help. Anyone who wants one can get a life jacket on board. At many stops, the water is shallow enough for you to wade instead of swim. If you don't feel safe in the water, you can stay on the boat and enjoy the view.

Depending on the tour and the weather, you will usually have 30 minutes to an hour at each swimming stop. The crew will tell you how long you have before the boat leaves.
