The caves were really cool, the water was super clear and even though it was a windy day so we couldn't snorkel, the tour was still a lot of fun. The skipper Balša was great :)
Callum
Amazing experience! We got to see some surreal coastline, caves and islands. Balša told us some interesting facts about the places we went and took us to some great snorkelling spots, where we swam in caves and shallow waters. The boat was a good size for my partner and I and two other people. He played nice music and had refreshing drinks for us as well. Would 100% recommend this tour!

Balsa’s snorkelling adventure was so beautiful, couldn’t have imagined it better! He was so helpful and knowledgeable, and even helped one of my friends learn how to swim! Very kind and thoughtful guide :)
Jasmine
Honestly had such a great experience with Balša! My partner and I were lucky enough to go on a private boat tour around Budva, which was amazing. Balša was super friendly and knowledgeable and took us to some really cool swim spots

This was fabulous and one of a kind. My husband and I loved the tour and there were only 4 of us , so it was a nice small group. We loved it.
Lilia
Great experience! The beautiful secluded spots where we could swim a lot, nice caves, and for sure welcoming host! Highly recommended! I believe it is much better than taxi boat and here you can swim and snorkel 🥰
