★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 291 reviews · 3 hours · from $53

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 142 reviews · 11 hours · from $80

Travel from Dubrovnik or Cavtat into Montenegro for a full day around Kotor Bay. You’ll see Baroque Perast, cross by boat to Our Lady of the Rocks, and tour Kotor’s Venetian old town. Guides such as Sandra, Maria, and Johnny are known for clear commentary, while border delays remain the main risk.

“Good introduction to Montenegro although the itinerary was slightly different to that described. We went to Kotor first and then took a boat to Our Lady of the Rocks and then onto Perast. The boat trip lasts about 60 minutes. Kotor was very busy largely due to there being 4 cruise liners visiting that day. Our coach party numbered 50+ and was far too big for one tour guide to take round Kotor. We stuck with it and it was good but more than half of our party gave up. Perast is beautiful and wasn't as crowded as Kotor. The border crossings took between 45 and 60 minutes each way,…”

We did not get to go to the beach due to poor weather, but our boat driver did give us a little side trip to a quaint little village near the lady of the rocks church. He was a very expert boat navigator and I never felt like we were in harms way even in the storm.”
