The Tour coördinator Sarah was informative, timely. Then the captain and his partner were friendly, kind, cheery, played perfect songs. We will remember 007 everything we cross a submarine tunnel now. The other group members were timely and positive, together it was a good trip. Due to heavy waves, we couldn't go through Blue waves which was a bummer. But hey, the old town of Perast as an alternative was not bad either. Live and recommend this to everyone.

This was the best experience ever! The boat captain was very professional and friendly and he drove very well! The blue cave was amazing to visit and so beautiful to see. We enjoyed our swim there as well. The Lady of our rock and visit to the submarine tunnels were also very nice! I would definitely recommend this trip to others!
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Great trip. The speedboat guide was very informative. We had a lovely swim just outside of the blue caves. 3 hours well spent.

Thank you for sharing this with us :)

They put us on the small speedboat and it was incredibly bumping. The guy driving the boat did not care. There was no tour - he grunted some words at us. When we asked for the water, he reluctantly gave us some. NOT AS ADVERTISED.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
We apologize for your disappointing experience. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. We’ll address these issues with our team to ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thank you for the recommendation! We're glad you enjoyed the trip and the skipper's expertise. Happy to hear you had a great time exploring Kotor! 🚤✨

We were led by Morad who was funny and informative.
The view from the boat was beautiful a shame we could not stop more times on the way as we were not told what were the places we passed. However, the trip we got was the one promised and my point above is for improving it
Response from Host, May 2024
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that our skipper was a fun and informative guide. We appreciate your feedback about wanting more stops and information on the places you passed—it sounds like a wonderful trip that could be even better with those additions. Overall, glad to hear it lived up to expectations!
Best regards from our team

Well worth it. If you are going to do the blue grotto then you need to do it with these guys in one of their speedboats. Good size boats to go comfortably. Seat 24. Very enjoyable . Views from the water of Split are fantastic.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for the recommendation! It sounds like an amazing experience.
We are happy to hear that you loved the tour.

Eno was an amazing captain with a lovely personality perfect for this position! Not only is he an excellent sailor but very knowledgeable about the area and we were able to do EVERYTHING we had expected to do including the blue cave!!! 3 hours seems to be the perfect amount of time to do what is on the list without spending too much time at any one location! Never a dull moment! As a travel agent I highly recommend this tour on a single day cruise ship visit and one of the other more lengthy excursions if we had more time!!! We hope to return to your lovely town.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that Eno made your experience exceptional with his expertise and warm personality. It's great to know you enjoyed everything, including the Blue Cave, within the perfect timeframe. We truly appreciate your recommendation, especially coming from a travel agent. We look forward to welcoming you back to our lovely town in the future!

We had a great trip! This 3 hour trip took us to some really breathtaking places which are only accessible by boat. This particular trip had a great itinerary compared to others competitors in the area. It is definitely a must if you are visiting Kotor! Mirko shared some great stories and was an amazing DJ. This made the trip so much fun and created a great atmosphere.
It was definitely worth booking ahead online and it was easy enough to find from the directions given.

No Wi-Fi
No water unless u specifically asked for it.
Very difficult to hear driver as no microphone
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for your feedback. We have everything that is included in the tour, you just have to ask. The skipper certainly cannot predict what the guests need. It is possible that at some point there was no internet, but we certainly have it. We really try to please all of our guests, but sometimes it's just hard to please everyone.
We value your opinion like every one of our guests.
All the best

Ripped off by Viator by €20 - would have been cheaper to book direct. They claimed they were the best price. They really weren't. The trip itself was fun but the sea was rough and we weren't given any safety instructions or advice. Didn't get to go into blue cave due to conditions. 1 star off for viator ripping us off and 1 star off for poor safety considerations
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We appreciate your feedback and regret to hear about your concerns. We would like to clarify that our pricing is transparent, and we provide detailed information on our website or upon inquiry. Booking through third-party platforms like Viator may involve additional fees, and we recommend checking all available options before making a reservation.
Regarding safety, please be assured that the well-being of our guests is our top priority. Our speedboats are equipped with all necessary safety gear, including life jackets of various sizes. Our experienced skippers assess sea conditions carefully and make decisions in the best interest of safety. If the skipper deemed it unsafe to enter the Blue Cave due to rough sea conditions, this decision was made to ensure the security of all passengers.
We value your feedback as it helps us improve our services.
Best regards

Great tour and guide. Would not hesitate to do it again. The blue cave was luminescent and warm.
The cruise ship was running 30 minutes late for the scheduled departure so that was stressful. Emailed and called the tour operator but did not get much reassurance. Since the group was all from the same cruise, it would have been nice to know they were going to wait for all passengers to arrive before departing.
Response from Host, Jul 2023

This was a GREAT excursion! They were so organized, kind, helpful & knowledgeable. Egi was our captain & he did a wonderful job telling us all about Montenegro. Ivana & a Sarah were so kind & helpful-my mom has difficulty walking & they made sure she got on & off the boat safely. Highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for sharing your review of the Kotor Bay Discovery and Sightseeing on Speedboat tour! We're thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience and that it was a great excursion for you.
Having an organized and knowledgeable team can make a significant difference in the overall enjoyment of the tour. It's wonderful to know that the crew, including Egi, were not only skilled in navigating the waters but also passionate about sharing their knowledge of Montenegro with you.
The kind and helpful nature of the crew, especially Ivana and Sarah, who assisted your mom with walking difficulties, is truly commendable. Ensuring the safety and comfort of all passengers is a hallmark of an exceptional tour, and it's heartening to hear that they went the extra mile to accommodate your mom's needs.

The boat left on time and was not too crowded. Igor (the boatman) was clear on where we were going and gave good background on the sights. Overall a really pleasant experience.

Bateau rapide très agréable mais un peu long. Notre dame du rocher petit stop sans grand intérêt...
Toujours pas de français pour le guide .. dommage car les explications n'ont pas toutes étaient comprises. Entrée dans le tunnel de l'ancienne base militaire très rapide car sur 150m uniquement.
Petite alte à la sortie de la grotte bleue pour une rapide baignade.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Merci pour vos commentaires. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié la visite. Revenez vers nous.
Nicolas_H, Aug 2022
Super tour en bateau de la baie de Kotor pendant environ 3h15(avec des arrêts prévus à Perast, a l’église notre dame du rocher pendant 20min, a des ex enclaves militaires et à la grotte bleue le temps de faire une pause baignade de 20min). Le guide était très gentil et très professionnel (beaucoup d’explications et d’anecdotes). Les paysages sont magnifiques. Je recommande vivement ce parcours et cet organisme !
