Full description
Start your active adventure at the Sea Gate of Kotor Old Town, where your guide Vanja greets you. After a short walk to the harbor, hop aboard a speedboat for a 15-minute cruise to the remarkable island of Our Lady of the Rock. There, learn the fascinating legends and history behind this sacred site floating in the bay.
Next, cruise to the village of Prcanj, where kayaks await. Begin a 1.5-hour paddle journey along the tranquil coast, with views of Kotor’s fortified walls and hidden gems along Dobrota’s shoreline. Along the way, enjoy a swim stop in the refreshingly clear waters of the Adriatic.
Back on shore, take a short break before switching gears to bicycles. Ride along a scenic 35-minute cycling route through quiet seaside lanes lined with stone houses. In Prcanj, stop to admire the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a baroque beauty and local landmark.
Return to your starting point with a deeper connection to Kotor's landscape, history, and culture, all experienced in one dynamic loop.

The tour overall was very enjoyable. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to explain everything well. The kayaking and cycling was good.
Chris Fernandes
Vanja was so knowledgeable about the history of Kotor, Montenegro and the region. I learned a lot and he expressed every "fact" with authenticity. The views and setting are of course outstanding. Kayaking the bay was unforgettable (though extremely hot this time of the year!)
David
Brilliant morning with Vanja. He has a comprehensive and interesting understanding of the history of Kotor and Montenegro and imparted that well to us. The trip included a boat trip to the Our Lady of the Rocks island church, which he gave us a fully guided tour, then we canoed across the lake and finally cycled to see another church and get some great views of the lake. Vanja also helped us arrange taxis (completely outside his remit, but something we are very grateful that he did). Altogether the best trip of the 3 that we did (probably didn't need the other 2 in hindsight as this trip covered it all). Completely recommend this to any travellers.
Michelle
We loved our half day tour at Kotor. It was the perfect blend of scenery and activity. Our guide Vanja (spelling) was very knowledgeable about Montenegro and Kotor. We loved it and highly recommend this tour.
Janette
We had a fabulous activity filled day with an informative boat ride to Lady of the Rock and interesting history with village of Perast and island. 3€ to go inside the monastery but worth it. From there, a boat ride back to Kotor to a bike ride away from Kotor with beautiful bay scenery and if desired, a 15 min cool down swim.. refreshing! We return our bikes and kayak for maybe 40 minutes, comfortably and scenic! A well worth activity tour and our guide was historically informative, helpful and made the experience fun! We highly recommend this excursion!
