From Dubrovnik: Montenegro Day Trip

1.Montenegro Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4,807 reviews · 11 hours · from $70Our pick

Travel from Dubrovnik to Montenegro by air-conditioned vehicle, stopping in Perast and Kotor, with Budva added on the small-group option. Guides such as Niko, Nikolas, Adnan, and Milko share local stories and keep the day moving. You get free time to explore, plus an optional boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks for about €10.

“Although we booked the large group tour, we were upgraded to a small group (8 people) tour. Our driver was our guide. He was great fun and a fantastic driver. Times at borders were really quick. He brought us back through a smaller border crossing which saved an approximate 2 hour wait at main crossing. Drive through Bay of Kotor was stunning at every turn. Prevast & Kotor were beautiful. Although I would imagine they get overcrowded in peak season. If you are staying in Dubrovnik and have the time, book this tour!”

“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…”
