Meet at Park Slobode for a fast, scenic ride through Kotor Bay. Swim near the Blue Cave, see Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels, pass Mamula Island, and visit Our Lady of the Rocks. English-speaking skippers such as Voign, Marco, and Andrea add local stories along the way.

“The tour was great, we were greeted at the meeting point which was very easy to find. The agent was very friendly and welcoming. The boat was very comfortable and felt safe and luxurious. The driver was very helpful and played some great music. The scenery from the water was really special, the stops at the church was beautiful. The submarine cave was very interesting but the blue caves were the highlight for sure. We went in November, it was quite chilly on the water so I'd advise to wrap up, but I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again if in Kotor.”
