Had an absolutely wonderful morning with Vasco! The music and the vibes during the ride were top notch. The free water was appreciated. Being able to swim on the Adriatic was definitely an experience! Vasco also lent me and the rest of the group some swimming gear. He shared information about the sites we stopped at and was very insightful. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who plans to visit Kotor!

So much fun, I would rate higher than 5 ⭐️ if I could. I didn’t have much time in Kotor as it was a quick stop on a cruise but The Blue Caves Tour with Aquaholic was so much fun, truly a highlight! Our speedboat captain and tour guide Vasco was excellent, he was helpful getting in and out of the boat, didn’t rush us when we swam and shared some cool information. The Blue Caves were stunning, the sub base was really cool and nice to visit the lady of the rocks when it was quiet (after 4pm) but if you want to go inside the little museum you must go earlier and costs. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour with Aquaholic!

We had the pleasure of riding on board Uros' speed boat! He was very welcoming and put us at ease straight away. It's hard to choose one highlight of this tour, it had such variety! Well worth the money!

Plan accordingly based on the time of the year. Our tour was in November and a bit chilly & drizzly. But the sights were still gorgeous and we are happy we went.
