Kotor: Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks Island - Every 2 Hours

Special Offer

2 hoursFree Cancellation

We start with a captivating trip along the waters of Kotor Bay, enabling our guests to examine its magnificent coastline, which is adorned with multiple ancient fishermen villages, lavishing vegetation, and other natural and architectural wonders. A nice dip inside the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon that's been created by waves crashing for thousands of years at the Lustica peninsula. The speedboat does NOT enter the Blue Cave. Guests reach the cave by swimming from the boat. We will make a brief stop next to Mamula Island, on which the prison was made in 1853. We continue to one of the three submarine tunnels used during the Second World War to hide and repair submarines. And at the end, we will see the island Our lady of the rocks. This is a man-made islet, built upon a crag that bore the icon of the Holy Mother Mary. We'll make sure that you have the best possible time with us and bring home amazing memories!

Wuk is the best!

Wuk was the best tour guide and just fun to be around. He gave us good infomation and advised us on the best places to walk to for shopping, snacks, and how to get back to our ship. The cable car was incredible and the views were magnificent. We had a lovely day and truly loved Kotor!

Sabrina_S, Sep 2026

Excellent tour

We had an excellent experience! We arrived early and the captain immediately allowed us to board the boat and hang out until we went to go pick up more passengers. Our Captain, Zeljko was wonderful!! The scenery was so picturesque, and we got to see and learn a lot about the area. The submarine bunkers were super cool to enter and the blue caves were stunning! Water felt great to swim in and Perast was so charming. Would absolutely recommend this tour!

Stunning Views from the Top

Our guide was amazing! We took the cable car to the top of the mountain where the views overlooking the sea were stunning. Our guide met us at the top with the car and we continued the tour from there. We learned about the history and visited a local place for delicious prosciutto, cheese, and wine. We also visited Cetinje Monastery and tried some local delicacies. Amazing experience!

Boat tour to Lady of the Rock , Submarine base & Blue Cave swim

Linda_W, Aug 2026

Lady of the rock ect……..

The tour did everything it promised and more. It stopped in a little town with time to get an ice cream or drink, Lady of the rock, submarine base and blue caves swim. The boat driver and his helper were very fun people. I really recommend this tour. For any one coming off a cruise ship it is a 5 minute walk from the terminal. So easy to find.

Full-day Tara River White Water Rafting Tour from Kotor

The Highlight of Our Montenegro Trip

Absolutely spectacular! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The rafting was amazing, the scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience was incredibly well organised. A special thanks to our driver and our rafting captain—they were professional, friendly, and made the day unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Bus tour

It was a long day, but well worth it. The guode never stopped talking and giving us information about Montenegro, she clearly loves her country. Shame we couldn't spend longer at some places though. 1hr at the lake is a bit misleading, the coach parked, we had a 20 mins walk to the lake, a 20 mins walk back, leaving 20 mins to swim and dry/change.

The Best Way to See the Bay of Kotor

We had such a wonderful time on this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Kotor! The catamaran was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of places to relax, whether you wanted to soak up the sun or sit in the shade. Our guide, Nina, was fantastic. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and an excellent storyteller. We especially loved hearing the history behind Our Lady of the Rocks—it made the visit so much more meaningful. One of our favorite parts of the day was having three opportunities to swim: after visiting Our Lady of the Rocks, at the Blue Cave, and once more toward the end of the tour. It was the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Overall, this was an amazing way to experience the entire Bay of Kotor. We're so glad we chose the full-day tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time

kshitija_k, Jul 2026

Actual CAVE entry is banned by the government! Beach exploration was worth it, public toilets available on the beach !

We booked this tour based on the reviews on viator and it did not disappoint us. Additional time on the beach was the correct decison we felt as we could enjoy water there than blue eye. However, blue eye was a slight diasppointment when the guide mentioned as per new rule the boat cannot enter into the cave and people can just jump/swim when they take the boat near to the cave. Seeing blue cave was on my bucket list for so long due to the pictures they show as a advertisement on these booking tours like reflecting blue light from cave walls etc but no option when it was recent rule made. When the boat dropped us on the beach we were worried about the pick from there but as they promissed and confirmed they were back to pick us up on exact time and location. Our name/information was shared with the new guide/boat rider.

10/10 experience

Our guide, Buena, was very friendly, informative, and personable. She was knowledgeable about Kotor’s unique history and was kind to entertain our questions about her life living in Montenegro. And, the food was all so amazing! Would highly recommend booking this tour, it was the best way to really see Kotor from a local’s point of view!

Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour

Kara_N, Jul 2026

Was a great little trip...

Was a great little trip to see 3 of Montenegro's awesome sights! Be aware that you have to swim to get to the Blue Cave. It's not a long distance, but if you're not a very strong swimmer (like me) it may be tiring. I recommend a life jacket. Also, if you're familiar with the Blue Cave in Croatia, this is NOT the same thing. Very blue and very pretty and still worth seeing, but not glowing like the Croatian cave. The speedboat was very comfortable; the guide and driver were super friendly and accommodating. Also, 20 minutes may seem a short ammount of time to be at the Our Lady of the Rocks Church, but it is a very small island and church, so I found it to be perfect. Although you do a drive-by of Perast, you do not stop. I recommend going to visit the town on your own, though!

Kotor Old Town Small-Group Walking Tour

Nina_G, Jul 2026

Wonderful little town!

Only had 7 people in our walking tour. Our guide Dali was very informative and interesting. I did have an issue with the meeting point as it was changed at the last minute, didn't have data on the ship until I got off on land. I was 10 minutes late for the tour but the vendor did contact me and Dali meet me at the pier. Great service! Suggest that the Guide has signage or flag or something to state which vendor they are with, there are so many guides looking for their clients and it's very busy that it's hard to know who's a guide and who isn't. Dali even gave me instructions on how to take the bus to Perast which worked out great, I had lunch there and walked around for a few hours. Dali even text me to see if I made it OK.....again what service! Thanks Dali for a wonderful tour!

Biking and Hiking in beautiful Kotor

This was a very active experience and we loved it. A few notes: Vanja our guide was wonderful...he has lived in Kotor most of his life so provided a lot of interesting information about the area and it's history. He was extremely personable. We did this tour in March..still off season for Kotor. We first walked from the port for about a mile to the bike shop, picked up our bikes and set off to the hike. The bikes are "old school"...pedals, breaks no electric capacity. We road on a narrow road which was fine but I think during the busy season it might be a bit of a challenge due to traffic. The hike was challenging for some...pretty much straight up hill. Once at the top there were beautiful views of the Kotor Bay. The description for the tour said they provided water and a snack. We didn't receive either but we were ok as we brought our own water and sandwiches. I'd suggest if you take the tour, you do the same. I'd definitely do this tour again..just be prepared for an active day! :)
