Full description
Step aboard a modern speedboat and experience the dramatic coastal beauty of Boka Bay on this 3-hour small-group adventure. Departing from Kotor, you'll cruise along the stunning Montenegrin coast, guided by your local skipper Aleksa, who’ll share historical insights and fun stories throughout the trip.
Your first stop is the iconic Blue Cave, a natural wonder known for its glowing turquoise water. Dive in for a swim or simply admire the surreal play of light on the stone walls.
Next, make a short stop at Mamula Island, once a notorious 19th-century prison used during both World Wars. Continue past Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels, carved into the cliffs to conceal and repair military submarines during the Cold War.
The journey continues to Our Lady of the Rocks, a man-made islet near Perast with a baroque church built by sailors in the 15th century. Hear the legend of the island, and enjoy sweeping views of Perast and its 18th-century bell tower.
As you cruise back, enjoy music on board, pass the abandoned village of Old Stoliv, the narrow Verige Strait, and the marinas of Tivat and Herceg Novi. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing swim, coastal history, or postcard-worthy views, this tour delivers it all in just three hours!

I booked the blue cave trip with this agency and it was superior! The driver was perfectly on time to pick us up, just in front of our hostel. He was a great driver, chill and funny. We enjoyed the view, the trip and also he found the best spot to stop swimming within the blue lagoon. The treat with the agency was easy and fast, nothing to complain about!

The view was perfect all the time. Sights were amazing and so worth seeing, I got to take many great photos. For acceptable price (for anyone) you get good quality and also a great guide to tell you everything you want to know about every place you visit during the tour. They also provide masks for diving into crystal clear water inside the Blue cave. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Embarking on the speedboat tour in Kotor was an exhilarating journey that surpassed all expectations. From the moment we set foot on the sleek vessel, we were met with professionalism and warmth from captain Alex. Our adventure began with a breathtaking visit to the Blue Cave, where the azure waters seemed to dance in the sunlight, creating an otherworldly ambiance that left us spellbound. As we cruised along the stunning coastline, each turn revealed new marvels of nature, from hidden coves to towering cliffs. The knowledgeable guide shared fascinating insights into the rich history and culture of the region, adding depth to our experience. Arriving at the old town of Perast felt like stepping back in time. The charming cobblestone streets and ancient architecture whispered tales of centuries past, while the picturesque scenery of the Bay of Kotor provided a mesmerizing backdrop. Throughout the tour, safety was paramount, and we felt well-cared-for at every moment. The boat itself was comfortable and well-maintained, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride. Highly recommend!!!
