You’ll ride a speedboat from Kotor with a local captain, usually in a group of about 11 to 16, visiting the Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, submarine tunnels, and Mamula Fortress. Captain Boben has earned warm praise, but commentary and comfort can vary by departure.

“Had high hopes for this excursion but was a little disappointed. To begin, we had 13 people on the boat which made it feel crowded. The ride was very long and bumpy with all the boat traffic, especially once you get outside the Bay of Kotor. The submarine tunnel was interesting to see but not much information from the boat driver. When we arrived at the Blue Cave, there were several other boats inside the cave. We stayed inside less than 5 minutes because of all the traffic, and there was no chance to get in the water inside the cave. Once back out of the cave, the boat driver…”

Travel by coach and the MB Vesna from Budva, Petrovac, or Tivat. Visit Herceg Novi, swim at Žanjice, pay €10 for the optional Blue Cave boat, stop at Lady of the Rocks, and explore Kotor. Guide Vladimir is especially praised for clear multilingual commentary.

“Overall, the places visited during the tour were truly remarkable and offered stunning views; however, several shortcomings negatively affected the experience. Upon our arrival in Tivat for the ferry transfer, there was no staff present to greet or guide us—we simply walked to the marina and had to find the boat on our own. Additionally, the whole boat trip lasted approximately 4 to 5 hours, which became quite exhausting over time. The boat was overcrowded, forcing some passengers to stand or sit in uncomfortable positions. While the itinerary indicated 90 minutes at the Blue Cave, we were only given 60 minutes—20 minutes for the journey there, 20 minutes for the…”
