Full description
Step aboard a modern speedboat and experience the dramatic coastal beauty of Boka Bay on this 3-hour small-group adventure. Departing from Kotor, you'll cruise along the stunning Montenegrin coast, guided by your local skipper Aleksa, 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 three hours!

We did a speedboat tour in Kotor and it was one of the highlights of our trip! What I enjoyed the most was the perfect mix of stunning scenery, adrenaline, and relaxing moments on the water. Cruising along the Bay of Kotor with the wind in my hair and the breathtaking mountain backdrop was unforgettable. Our skipper was fantastic – very friendly, careful, and thoughtful throughout the tour. He made us feel safe at all times and explained everything really well, from the local sights to the history behind them. His calm and professional manner really added to the experience.

I booked the blue cave trip with this agency and it was superior! The driver was perfectly on time to pick us up, just in front of our hostel. He was a great driver, chill and funny. We enjoyed the view, the trip and also he found the best spot to stop swimming within the blue lagoon. The treat with the agency was easy and fast, nothing to complain about!
Andjela Milic
The view was perfect all the time. Sights were amazing and so worth seeing, I got to take many great photos. For acceptable price (for anyone) you get good quality and also a great guide to tell you everything you want to know about every place you visit during the tour. They also provide masks for diving into crystal clear water inside the Blue cave. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Our skipper was friendly, professional, and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and fun day on the water. It exceeded all my expectations and I would 100% do it again!

Our skipper, Filip, was incredibly kind and accommodating, ensuring that everyone on board felt comfortable and taken care of. The views were stunning, with the serene waters and breathtaking scenery of Kotor Bay providing a perfect backdrop for our journey. Filip's knowledge of the area and his friendly demeanor added a special touch to the trip. I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone looking to explore Kotor Bay in a unique and memorable way. Thank you, Filip, for making our day so wonderful!
