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.

"Was a great little trip to see 3 of Montenegro's awesome sights! Be aware that you have to swim to get to the Blue Cave. It's not a long distance, but if you're not a very strong swimmer (like me) it may be tiring. I recommend a life jacket. Also, if you're familiar with the Blue Cave in Croatia, this is NOT the same thing. Very blue and very pretty and still worth seeing, but not glowing like the Croatian cave. The speedboat was very comfortable; the guide and driver were super friendly and accommodating. Also, 20 minutes may seem a short ammount of time to be at the Our Lady of the Rocks Church, but it is a very small island and church, so I found it to be perfect. Although you do a drive-by of Perast, you do not stop. I recommend going to visit the town on your own, though!"

Great speed boat ride . Very experienced driver. An incredible way to see the harbor. We toured into the war time submarine bays hidden away during the war with Germany and Italy. We stopped to see tge blue cave! Aptly named as its the most beautiful color! We had the opportunity to swim in the Adriatic Sea under safe supervision of our tour guide and driver. Our driver was very attentive helping everyone load and unload. Great friendly young man.

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!

We initially booked this at the last minute as the tour we booked originally was cancelled. However, this boat tour ended up being more economical and convenient due to multiple times being offered. Highly recommended!
