★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 471 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $48

From Kotor’s waterfront, a licensed captain takes you by speedboat to Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula Island, a former submarine tunnel, and the Blue Cave. You get about 20 minutes on the church island, snorkeling gear for a swim, bottled water, Wi-Fi, and a small-group ride capped at 16 people. 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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 243 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $38

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…”

From Kotor, Miki Travel takes you across the bay to Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, abandoned submarine tunnels, and Montenegro’s Blue Cave. Expect a clean, covered boat, views, swimming time, and short commentary rather than a full guided tour. Check the return schedule if you plan to stay longer in Perast.

“I brought my 4 year old daughter in a double kayak. I’d been kayaking many times before, so it was easy enough. Our guide was kind to her and considerate of the route and activities based on our group. What I love about having a guide on something like this is they show you areas you might otherwise feel comfortable exploring, like a small tunnel cave. Very beautiful scenery, nice swimming, and I recommend!”

We loved Annette and the entire team. Their professionalism and dedication made this tour smooth, safe, and truly memorable. Annette is caring, motherly, and truly passionate about what she does. She quickly felt like a long-time friend. Our driver was amazing: professional, smooth driving, made us feel completely safe during the trip.
