This is one of the most memorable tours we've ever been on. The boat operator/ tour guide did excellent job telling us the stories behind the important places we stopped at during the tour. It's a 5/5 for me

The cave was good but we...

richard_s, Jun 2026
The cave was good but we were only there 25 minutes out of 3 hours. the captain and first mate were not. They were both smoking in the boat and most of the time were picking people up and dropping them off

Quick but fun boat trip

Natalie_P, Jun 2026
Initially, it was very hard to find the correct boat and company as there were no signs near the dock wit all the boats, but they were very communicative through What's App. I really enjoyed this trip - it was a quick trip and I wish we had more time to take pictures near the blue caves, but it was very crowded and the waves were rocky and our boat had to quickly move out. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Boat ride

Jocelyn_E, Apr 2026
We travelled with friends. The sea was calm initially but grew to a wavy tide that made the boat ride bumpy. Awesome view of the mountains and turquoise- colored sea. Temperature was perfect, not too hot nor.cold.

…a 5* tour 👌

Great Time!!

Jeff_B, Oct 2025
Had a great time. Learned a lot. The boat ride was very rocky in the front, recommend you sit in the back.

Boat trip from Kotor

Daniel_P, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip from Kotor. The boat felt like it was brand new and was very comfortable. We opted for the 3hr tour, which felt like a good length, we got to explore the blue cave, and various sights around Kotor Bay. The operator was also really flexible, when one of us got sick they allowed us to move our trip back a day. Overall a really enjoyable experience and a highlight of our trip to the area,

Not worth the time/price

Chris_K, Sep 2025
The experience entailed an hour long boat ride at full throttle to get to the Blue Cave and submarine pen. Once at the Blue Cave there were 13 other boats there. In short crowds, limited time for actual activities and not an enjoyable boat ride. We had seen this tour as highly rated. In hindsight we would have much preferred more time in Kotor than being in this tour.

Taxi rather than tour

Kori_P, Sep 2025
The boat ride was fun. However our driver used our trip as a taxi to pick up other travelers to take to different destinations. It added more people than the 12 that was advertised, Obviously our tour was not his primary objective. However, the tour was fun and the other travelers made it fun. I would not recommend your company but I would recommend the event

Fast and Fun!

Alina_D, Aug 2025
It can be a fast bumpy ride to the caves but it was lots of fun! We jumped in the beautiful blue waters and swam in the cave!

A fun afternoon on the water

Gemma_U, Aug 2025
A really interesting and fun day out. Being able to jump off the boat at the swimming spot was a highlight. Bear in mind there are lots of boats that go to the same places so it's VERY busy. The ride is extremely bumpy so I wouldn't recommend if you don't have good strength to hold on or if you have a bad back. We were thrown around quite a lot!

Beyond beautiful!!

Erin_U, Aug 2025
This was a great excursion! The beauty was amazing. They had a few mask but no snorkels. I wish I would have brought some (swimming wasn’t very long but great).

Viator emailed me that...

Deborah_B, Aug 2025
Viator emailed me that the tour time was change from 12PM to 3PM which wasn't good because of the cruise ship departure. when I tried to cancel I was told that it wasn't canceled. It turned out that the company Horizon who Viator used for the excursion said they didn't know anything about the time change and the excursion would continue so they wouldn't return my money. The water was so ruff that we couldn't explore the Blue caves. the whole excursion was a mess.

Excellent experience and best price - performance ratio

Janis_L, Jul 2025
Since it was our first experience on a fast boat, at first it seemed a little extreme, especially with our three-year-old, but after a while we got used to it. My wife asked for a life jacket for our toddler, which the captain kindly fetched. Otherwise, the tour was absolutely great and I recommend it to everyone who wants to take a shorter excursion. The captain was a great guide who in an interesting and yet concise manner told us about every place we visited.. We had a great 20 minute swim near the blue cave and water was handed out. Definitely worth the money!

Not good

Naveh_l, Jul 2025
The boat trip lasted only two and a half hours, even though I was clearly told it would be three hours from Perast. Also, we were told it would be a private tour, but two other people who weren’t with us joined the ride. As a result, my two brothers had to sit in the front and take all the hits from the waves. On top of that, the boat staff were quite unfriendly throughout the trip.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Boat tour start from Kotor and from Kotor is 3h tour, you request start from Perast so becouse of that tour was 2h30min, sou should come in Kotor and start from Kotor than your tour will be 3h long. And its not correct that someone told you that it will be private tour becouse you didnt reserve private tour you reserve group tour/ticket tour so its your mistake becouse you reserve group tour. I just think that you are bad people who want to do the tour and to tell something was wrong just to take your money back but that is not possible becouse you do all tour and visit all place what is included in this tour.

Very nice tour - choose another company

Guy_E, Jul 2025
It was very hard to find the captain in the spot promised. It took us almost 20 mins. The boat was new and clean. The captain was very unfriendly and busy with his phone all along the tour. first 30 mins of the tour are actually water taxi - the boat is picking up and dropping off people. The rest of the tour was very nice and all the "program" promised - was given. Its like taking a water bus on a speedboat. no more.

Had a great speedboat...

Ora_T, Jul 2025
Had a great speedboat tour with Blue Horizon. Our cruise ship tender was severely delayed so we missed our 9am sailing and they easily accommodated us for the noon departure. The captain safely got us through the blue cave, where many people were swimming (even though they aren't supposed to) and where there were many boats inside at the same time. It was a great 3 hour outing on a very hot day.

Terrible staff

Rich_J, Jul 2025
The staff at the dock basically ignored me. Only tended to the group of customers from the cruise ship. Didn’t even tell me to come board the boat. I had to follow the rest of the people. Truly disrespectful. And the blue cave wasn’t accessible today due to currents. Terrible company

Never again!!

Mary_S, Jul 2025
Very disappointing! Boat broke down, returned 90 minutes late to dock with no time to visit the old town! No water, or snorkeling equipment offered. We did get to the blue cave but couldn’t swim in it (too crowded). Boat ride was VERY fast and extremely bumpy. Only allowed 10 minutes at the church!

Beautiful!

Clarissa_C, Jun 2025
Beautiful water, refreshing swim. Enjoyed it. Would recommend if you want to see views from the water.

Good value for money to get out in the water

Andrea_S, Jun 2025
Fast ride out to the blue cave- cave was okay to be in but having a swim there was amazing. Getting a brief commentary about the area was good - great boat driving skills

Perfect sight seeing trip by boat

mark_s, May 2025
Great way to see the amazing scenery in the Bay of Kotor. A variety of sights both natural & historical.

could be a little better

alon_a, May 2025
interesting trip as promised in tour title. problem was in loading, where the driver went around the area picking up more people in various sites thus wasting about 15-20 minutes. The boast was a little too crowded with 12 people. 10 should be the limit . This is a 3 hour trip not a short ride. There was not too much explanation by the driver and the visit to the submarine tunnel was 4 minutes instead of 10. It seemed that he was rushed because of the loading delay, and he had to get back in time to pick up his next group. It was also hard to find the "blue and orange" sign among the many other sellers of the same trip. All in all, it was a nice excursion, but these things took away from the total experience

It was amazing and a must...

Sruthi_t, Jan 2025
It was amazing and a must do activity! The sea was bit rough but the captain handled it well. We had a lovely time!

Highly recommend at least one day in Kotor

Amber_L, Nov 2024
We were a little hesitant having booked our tour for the end of November but it was such a beautiful day and the water was perfect for boating. We had a very packed three hours that seemed to fly by without feeling rushed at any one location. Would absolutely recommend.

Not worth your money!

Ram_I, Jul 2024
This tour is a hit or miss. It says 3hour tour but with the amount you paid for? I dont think it is worth it. Let me tell you why. You will just go to Lady of the Rocks which is just an island for 20min, and another 15min to just very quickly see the Blue Cave and have some dip in the water. Thats it nothing special! We were disappointed for mainly two things: 1. The speed boat driver/ tour guide was rude and did not care about us, as if he is just rushing to finish his job and go home. We could not even understand a word he is saying at all! Also, he smokes whilst driving so all his cigarettes would be on your face if you are sat behind the wheels. Disgusting! 2. Like I said, the 3hour tour will just consume your travel time on the boat because Blue Cave (which is btw just a normal cave with blue water in it) is quite far from Kotor. You even only stay inside the cave for less than 3mins tops because other speed boats need to come in! So most of your time is just spent on the boat travelling. Very disappointing tour! So not sure why the reviews here will say this is a highly recommended tour. Trust me this is not worth every penny!

Great Experience

Ida_S, Jun 2024
Dragan was a great captain. It was easy to find the right zone in the park, everyone was efficient and very clear on what was happening. The day we went the weather was too rough to go to the Blue Caves, however we were still taken on a full tour and saw a few other things instead. Great quality, felt safe and taken care of the whole time. Would strongly recommend

Excellent tour. A must do

Joan_K, Jun 2024
Very enjoyable outing to three fabulous locations. Captain was very personable. Handled the boat well. Definitely recommed this tour to anyone.

taylor_o, Jun 2024
