Captains such as Dragan, Chris, and Igor are known for friendly service.

“We opted for this tour instead of going to the lookout on the cable car and I wish we had picked differently. The boat was small and they packed people in like sardines. There was not room to get comfortable for a very long boat ride. The first stop was at Our Lady of the Rocks, the church on the island. It was very hot, no shade, and packed with people. Then we rode for about an hour to get to the Blue Cave. We made a quick pass through the cave and then stopped for 10 minutes to swim, outside the cave. The water was beautiful and cool after…”

From Kotor, Sea Horizon’s three-hour speedboat tour combines Bay of Kotor views with Mamula Fortress, a former submarine tunnel, Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and a swim near the Blue Cave. You’ll ride with a small group, use provided snorkel gear when available, and hear short commentary from the skipper. The ride can be very bumpy.

“This tour is a hit or miss. It says 3hour tour but with the amount you paid for? I dont think it is worth it. Let me tell you why. You will just go to Lady of the Rocks which is just an island for 20min, and another 15min to just very quickly see the Blue Cave and have some dip in the water. Thats it nothing special! We were disappointed for mainly two things: 1. The speed boat driver/ tour guide was rude and did not care about us, as if he is just rushing to finish his job and go home. We could not even understand a word…”

The boat carries up to eight passengers plus the captain, making this a lively small-group outing. Swimming inside the cave is not guaranteed.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Take a private speedboat from Kotor with a skipper, bottled water, WiFi, and swim masks. See Our Lady of the Rocks, the old Mamula fortress, and the Blue Cave area. Guide Mirko has led the trip, and the boat can visit a quieter swim spot if the cave is crowded or the water is rough.

“Kotor is beautiful and the boat tour was a favorite for everyone in our group of 7! Would highly recommend! If traveling to Kotor with a cruise beware that if your ship is tendering in Kotor there may be delays. The tour group did their best to work with us even though we were late, but we were not able to get a full 3 hour boat ride in. (I blame the cruise line not the tour company, but recommend not booking the early tour to avoid this issue.)”
