1.Boat Cruise with Blue Cave Swim and Submarine Base

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,155 reviews · 3 hours · from $56Our pick

Speedboat thrills plus swims in the Blue Cave, WWII Mamula history, and island views around Kotor Bay in a 3-hour loop.

“We had such an incredible time on the Blue Caves boat tour! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, but what really made the experience special was our guide, Andre. He was amazing – so knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable. As non-swimmers, we were a little nervous about getting in the water, but Andre was super thoughtful and provided us with life jackets so we could still enjoy swimming inside the caves. Taking our photos. It made the experience so much more memorable and inclusive. Everything about the trip was smooth, relaxing, and fun. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting –…”

2.Boat to Blue Cave & Lady of the Rocks &Submarine Base

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,104 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $32Top rated

Speedboat around Kotor Bay for Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks in Perast, the submarine tunnel, and Mamula Fortress in about 3 hours.

“Do NOT book this tour if coming on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. This is a tendered port and it took us 3-1/2 hours to get off the ship and to the port and as a result we missed the tour because we got there 8 minutes late. The representative on the ground was nowhere to be found and by the time we did find her, she was less than kind and said too bad, you were late, we leave in time. We asked if there was anything she could do for us and she said no. We asked about a refund, she said no. We said surely there is…”

4.Kotor Speed Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 218 reviews · from $46

Speed through Kotor Bay on a 3-hour cruise to Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, and the Blue Cave area, with onboard guide commentary.

“Found the boats location easily and then spent an hour wandering around the old town where the streets are really narrow in places, but plenty of shops and cafes. The trip was run very well with everything run to time. The length of time to the Lady of the Rocks and Perest was quite lengthy so the amount of time on shore was limited with little time to do much in particular. There was an opportunity to stay longer but we were due back on our cruise ship before we would have got back.”

3-hour Kotor speedboat to Blue Cave with a stop at Our Lady of the Rocks. Small-group ride, flexible swimming, great value.

“Unfortunatelly, Miki canceled the trip due to the expected bad weather. The refund was quick and without any problems. Other tour operators sells the tours despite to the bad weather - from our point of view very close to fraud. Therefore, we were very happy with Mike‘s behavior - 5 stars”

“Highly recommended! We loved it from start to finish. Andro, our guide for the day, is friendly and knowledgeable - he answered all of our many questions about Montengrin life, culture and history and drove us to all the best scenic spots for incredible views and photos. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant for a delicious lunch - we had a table overlooking the mountains and Lake Skadar in the background. This was a memorable day for us, we got to see so many places we would have never seen or known about - we are very grateful to Andro for taking care of us for the day…”
