We took a private boat which was ideal and had so much fun sailing with the captain and going to the church and the blue cave. Absolutely recommended.

Full description

Embark on a captivating tour around the Bay of Kotor, offering panoramic vistas of fishing villages, churches, and historical monuments. Passing by the ancient settlement of Perast on our way to "Our Lady of the Rocks," the islet holds a fascinating legend of fishermen creating an artificial island where an icon of Madonna and Child was discovered by shipwrecked crewmen. The 15th-century church on the islet is adorned with a marble altar featuring a masterpiece by Lovro Dobricevic and 68 paintings by Tripo Kokolja, including the renowned "The Death of the Virgin."

Continuing the Kotor Bay tour, cruise to Tivat Bay for breathtaking views, and explore Herceg Novi Bay with its Byzantine and oriental architecture. The cruise also leads to the infamous island of Mamula which blows you away with its abundance of natural beauty and rich history. The ex-submarine base is no less important either.

The journey includes a refreshing swim in the enchanting Blue Cave, accessible only by boat, and equipped with plush seat cushions and chilled beverages for your comfort.

Meeting point

Once you leave the ship and go through security, go left. When you reach the small bridge, turn left again towards the park. You'll see an information desk by the sea. Our skipper and our friend Sara will be there to welcome you. Please be at the meeting spot at least 30 minutes early. If you miss the tour, you can join the next available slot as agreed with the operator. If you’re arriving by car, we recommend allowing extra time for your journey. Heavy traffic is expected around the park — which is also your tour’s starting point — along with delays caused by ongoing roadworks on the main road.
