11 reviewed
On a kayak or paddleboard you reach the coves and sunken chapels the big boats miss, and the early mornings are glass-flat. Below are the best Kotor Bay kayaking and SUP tours ranked, by distance paddled, whether caves or beaches are the goal, and the price of each.
Kayak or SUP Budva Bay with coastal caves, Blue Lagoon snorkeling, and Calypso Beach swim breaks. Includes gear and photo/video.
“It was a super cool experience. A nice mix between a little workout and relaxation. The guides were super nice guys, taking care of everyone, making sure that no one falls behind. We’d recommend this activity if you’re in Budva!”
Kayak to the Blue Caves from Kotor with a small group, included snorkel gear, Lustica grottos, and a campsite cafe stop.
“Despite an incredible wind the evening before, timely and clear communication with the tour company allowed us to delay our start time and experience the perfect kayak adventure to the blue cave and a few other nearby caves that larger boats are not able to access. Photos don't do the vivid colors justice. Tilen, our guide, provided good equipment and gentle guidance. This was a highlight of our stay in Montenegro!”
Small-group kayak from Budva to Sveti Nikola island caves, plus Old Town wall views and beach swim breaks. English guide, $60.
“A lovely evening paddle on a hot day. We didn’t actually walk around the old town of Budva but we did paddle to it for the views before heading to Sveti St Nicholas island.”
Paddleboard the Bay of Kotor from Kotor or Tivat for 4 hours. Equipment, instruction, swims, and Sveti Marko Island views included.
“Fantastic place for paddleboarding! This was not a guided tour, just paddleboard hire. Easy to find, close to cruise ship port, friendly staff and good equipment. Really enjoyed our day and would recommend.”
Paddle Budva’s Adriatic coast by kayak or SUP with gear, life jacket, waterproof bags, and an instructor. Small groups, flexible time.
“Amazing views of the coastline. Service was fast and efficient and you're on the water in no time at all.”
Paddle the Bay of Kotor by private kayak to Prčanj for temple sights, a swim stop, and snorkeling kit—guided, small-group, great value.
“Fantastic day kayaking in Kotor bay with our extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Vanya. The tour was perfectly timed to ensure we had ample time to return to our cruise ship. We had the option to choose our own start time which was very useful. The kayaks/equipment were all in excellent condition. We also had the chance to stop at a beach and have a swim half way through the tour which was great as it was a very hot day! I would highly recommend this tour to see the beautiful bay of Kotor.”
Paddle Budva at night on LED-lit kayaks. Easy 2-hour tour with glowing seabed, old town views, and optional snorkeling gear.
“This experience is well worth doing. It is an easy paddle with great views and we had a very good guide. The LED lights under the kayaks lit up the water so well and really opened up a new view of underwater life. All the equipment was well maintained and the trip was very safe and well organised.”
Paddle 3 hours in Kotor Bay from the old town area to Glavati beach, with a swim/snorkel stop and sweeping views of the Bay of Kotor.
“The guide didn't show up for this trip and they have not responded to my requests by phone or via the contact details on Viator. I have also asked Viator for a refund on the app, and have not had a response.”
Kayak Bečići to Sveti Stefan for swim stops and cliff jumps, plus Arseny’s GoPro photos and videos sent after the tour.
“Great trip, we actually kayaked around Sveti Nikola. We visited a wild beach, some caves and a cliff jumping spot for the kids. Arseny was a great guide, took lots of photos and gave us lots of knowledge during the outing.”
Paddle Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor on a 2.5-hour kayak tour from Muo, with snorkel gear, historic shore stops, and a free day after.
“Had such a great time. Beautiful scenery, a lovely group and a great guide - so knowledgeable and kind! A highlight of my stay in Kotor, would highly recommend. Let’s you book as a solo traveller, which a lot of other trips don’t, so that was awesome!”
Rent a SUP or kayak in Budva with quick training, EU life vests, and route ideas to explore caves and islands at your pace.
“We took sup boards for rent. First time we swam to that far distance. We saw caves and clives. Instructor is very polite describe us how we can swim through flow without problems. We are happy)”
