Full Tour to Blue Cave Swim & Kotor Bay & War tunnels

Explore Montenegro’s coastline on a boat tour that blends natural wonders with wartime history. From the luminous Blue Cave to the legendary Mamula Island and the UNESCO-listed town of Perast, this journey offers swimming, snorkeling, and panoramic views of the bay’s most iconic landmarks.

Details

Enter the Blue Cave for a rare photographic opportunity, then continue to a nearby spot with crystal-clear turquoise water ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and jumping from the boat.

Visit Our Lady of the Rocks, a world-famous island with a historic church, and take in panoramic views of the bay from this dreamlike setting.

Discover the Submarine Tunnels, hidden deep within the cliffs—these secret WWII passages hold intriguing stories that your skipper will share during the cruise.

Pass by Mamula Island, a striking fortress rising from the sea that once served as a notorious WWII prison, surrounded by legends and a dramatic past.

Enjoy a scenic cruise along Porto Novi Marina, a luxury resort filled with yachts and beautiful coastal scenery.

Conclude the journey with a panoramic view of Perast, a charming UNESCO-listed town known for its baroque architecture and rich maritime history.

This was really fun! It’s very much worth doing a boat tour in Kotor just to see the bay from the water. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go to the blue cave or mamula fortress because of the weather conditions, so instead we went to Porto Novi, swimming out in the middle of the bay, and to Perast. The family that runs this tour company is friendly, competent, accommodating, and knowledgable. A great experience!

the very good looking captaina dn skipper Jovan and Vuk. made e the trip smooth and enjoyable. We saw the main kotor Bay sights easily and great for photos. Entering the blue cave with the boat was surreal. one thing would have been to swim in the blue cave but I think it was too busy in there for us to swim. So we got to swim at a more secluded spot.
