Great time!
We did have too much time to spend on Kotor because the cruise ship left early. This boat tour was just what we needed to see the island and hit some great stops. It was also relaxing cause you just get to chill and go for a ride!

Enjoyable 3 hour boat trip
Good boat ride, fun cave and swim experience. Unless you are deeply religious (catholic) and must see the inside of the church, don't waste the 5 euros per person. We had a total of 20 minutes on the island, and spent 15 minutes in line with our prepaid tickets. Nice boat captain with good English, would have enjoyed a little more narrative.

Fun day in the sun!
Nice long boat ride around the seas of Kotor. The swimming opportunity would have been better with hot weather.

Amazing Customized Experience!
This is so much better than being with a huge heard of people on a cruise outing. We had a wonderful time, our family of four (two college age kids, my husband and myself) with a boat to ourselves. Andrej was amazing and customized our experience. I cannot recommend this highly enough! Ask for Andrej!

3 hour boat trip
Great service and very timely. For unfortunate reasons we were not able to make the appointment time. The representatives at the kiosk were very helpful and guaranteed and issued a refund straight away and also send me a confirmation message via WhatsApp to confirm this. They also confirmed with Viator.
Kotor is a beautiful place with amazingly helpful and lovely people and this company is very organised and friendly.

Marco was attentive, helpful and funny. Scenery was unreal! Blue cave was awesome. Military tunnel was very cool.

Great boat trip
Lovely trip. The wind was quite strong making the sea a little rough but it was very enjoyable. Skipper provided enough information but not a continuous stream, as some do. The blue cave and Lady of the Rocks were both impressive.

All around a fun trip and...
All around a fun trip and really interesting. Made all the better by our skipper Peter who brought a balance of facts and fun! He took us to a slightly quieter place to swim where we were away from the other boats and the water was much calmer, which was great. I imagine most tours will be very similar but we enjoyed ours and would recommend.

Amazing Tour!
We had the pleasure of riding on board Uros' speed boat! He was very welcoming and put us at ease straight away. It's hard to choose one highlight of this tour, it had such variety! Well worth the money!

How long is the boat ride to the Blue Cave in Montenegro?
Most boat tours to the Blue Cave in Montenegro take three hours because they often visit other coastal attractions. Boat tours typically allow 20 minutes at the Blue Cave and fill the rest of the time visiting the island of Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula Fortress, and the submarine tunnels of Luštica.
Is the Blue Cave in Montenegro worth visiting?
Yes, the Blue Cave in Montenegro is worth visiting if you like being in the water and seeing unusual natural phenomena. Many find the experience of cruising into the cave and seeing the bright blue glow of the water unique, with a chance to swim in the cave a bonus.
Can I visit the Blue Cave independently, or is a guided tour recommended?
Since you’ll need a boat to access the Blue Cave in Montenegro, a guided tour is recommended over visiting independently. To visit on your own, you need to rent a boat and work out how to navigate to and inside the cave, which is a lot of unnecessary effort when you can just join a tour.
What safety precautions should I know when visiting the Blue Cave in Montenegro?
To remain safe while visiting the Blue Cave, you must stay aware of small boats and other swimmers nearby when swimming in the cave. When the cave is particularly busy with boats, people with asthma may find that building exhaust fumes can affect their breathing.
What should I bring with me on a Blue Cave tour in Montenegro?
If you wish to swim inside the cave during your Blue Cave tour, you’ll want to bring swimwear. It’s also a good idea to bring a light top or jacket, even when visiting on dry days in the warmer months, as the sea spray can feel quite cold.
What is the best time to visit the Blue Cave to experience its vibrant colors?
Bright sunny days are the best time to see the fluorescent color of the Blue Cave’s water, as the more sunlight there is, the stronger the effect is in the water. This means that summer generally provides the best viewing conditions but is also when the cave is at its busiest.
