Step aboard a modern speedboat and experience the dramatic coastal beauty of Boka Bay on this 4-hour small-group adventure. Departing from Kotor, you'll cruise along the stunning Montenegrin coast, guided by your local skipper who’ll share historical insights and fun stories throughout the trip.
Your first stop is the iconic Blue Cave, a natural wonder known for its glowing turquoise water. Dive in for a swim or simply admire the surreal play of light on the stone walls.
Next, make a short stop at Mamula Island, once a notorious 19th-century prison used during both World Wars. Continue past Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels, carved into the cliffs to conceal and repair military submarines during the Cold War.
The journey continues to Our Lady of the Rocks, a man-made islet near Perast with a baroque church built by sailors in the 15th century. Hear the legend of the island, and enjoy sweeping views of Perast and its 18th-century bell tower.
As you cruise back, enjoy music on board, pass the abandoned village of Old Stoliv, the narrow Verige Strait, and the marinas of Tivat and Herceg Novi. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing swim, coastal history, or postcard-worthy views, this tour delivers it all in just four hours!
If a 4-hour feels too long, you can also opt for a shorter 2-hour tour at sunset stopping at Our Lady of the Rocks and the village of Perast. Admiring the sun setting in the bay is pure magic!

This boat ride is worth it! So fun boating around the bay. And even though the weather was in October, it was still perfect to ride and swim. We stopped in a few places and even at the end, we got to stop at Perast for 30 mins (no one was in a rush). That was the perfect ending. Aleksa is the perfect host! Absolutely would recommend 🥳

The tour was great! Our guide Aleksa was really friendly, explained a lot about the area and helped everyone on and off the boat whenever we stopped. The highlight was seeing the blue cave and swimming around the area!

We booked the 3 hour blue cave tour with Aleksa, it was an amazing experience. I recommand for everyone looking to have fun, see some amazing landscapes and have a nice relaxing swim in the open sea.

We did the 9 a.m. boat tour in Kotor and it was just perfect. The ride took us through the submarine tunnels, the Blue Cave, the Lady of the Rocks, and all around the the views were gorgeous the whole way. My opinion, the best time to do the store was 9 AM exactly like we did it because around 12 when we were about to finish the door and started getting very hot so I think any later would be a little bit too hot for us personally (September) Our guide Aleksa, really made the trip. He was super friendly, told the stories interest, and shared everything from his own perspective as a local. It felt genuine, and he made sure everyone was following along and enjoying. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. Such a great way to see Kotor Bay highly recommend!
