Blue Cave & Perast Old Town Private Tour

Description.

This 4-hour speed boat private tour lets you experience the most attractive parts of the Bay of Kotor. In the first part of the tour, you’ll get to visit the most attractive natural formation in the area – the Blue Cave. In the second part, we explore the cultural heritage of the bay, including a prison island, secret submarine tunnels, and the unmissable old town of Perast.

Blue Cave & Perast Speed Boat Tour Highlights

Starting from the Port of Kotor, we’ll head first to the Blue Cave. Formed by the force of waves crashing into the cliff for hundreds of years, this cave is one of the most unique places in our bay for swimming and snorkeling. You’ll have 45 minutes here to enjoy the marvelous shades of blue mixing with gloomy rocks and crystal-clear water.

After the cave, we will make short sightseeing of Mamula Island. This island was used as a prison during both World Wars. Proceeding ahead we will stop and enter one of the three submarine tunnels, which were once used to hide submarines and small navy ships.

Our next stop will be Lady of the Rocks, the artificial Island in front of Perast, made in the 15th Century. The island is famous for its stunning Catholic church made by Venetians in 1630. After visiting the old town of Perast, we head back to Kotor.

Private tours advantages

Private tours can offer several advantages over regular boat tours. For one, the tour can be tailored to the interests and preferences of the group, allowing for a more customized experience. In addition, private boat tours typically have a smaller passenger count, allowing for a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

Things to Know Before Your Kotor Boat Tour

The Bay of Kotor is one of the world’s most beautiful bays in Europe, but before you hop aboard a boat tour of the area, it pays if you know a few key things.

First up, that Kotor boat trips are readily available in towns like Porto, Montenegro and Budva .

Here boat operators offer half-day trips with frequent departures, often within an hour or two of booking.

Most operators prefer cash payments, so be sure to have enough on hand.

Prices generally range from €60-80 for an hour.

Most boat tour operators have knowledgeable guides and follow a standard itinerary with seven key stops , which can be seen in the below image, which also gives the order in which they are visited…

You must also decide whether you want to book a group or private boat tour of Kotor .

A group tour always has a social atmosphere, while a private tour is a more intimate and personalised, but expensive, option.

If you’re unsure, check with the tour company for your best option.

You can also choose whether you want a faster, more thrilling tour with a speed boat, or a more comfortable larger boat that’s a bit slower.

Larger boats typically have amenities onboard, such as toilets and showers and offer a more sedate water experience!

Although most boat tours of Kotor last for 3 hours , there are shorter, 1 hour tours if you’re strapped for time.

At the other end of the scale, some companies also offer longer tours that last 8 hours – the perfect way to spend a whole day as a group of friends!

Some tours also include optional activities such as swimming or snorkelling in the Blue Cave , so consider your interests and dislikes when booking too.

Remember to bring swimwear and some towels, especially if you are going for a swim or snorkel.

Smaller speed boats may not have the facilities for you to get a quick wash and a change, so plan accordingly – don’t forget your underwear if you’re already wearing your swimmers!, but don’t worry about a snorkelling mask, as most tours provide one.

Suncream is a must on these boat tours too, regardless of whether you plan to swim. A sun hat is also a dead cert.

Lastly, ensure you have extra cash before you board the boat for any drinks, tips or additional excursions.

For example, most (if not all) of these tours don’t include admission to Our Lady of the Rocks .

Granted, it’s only a few Euros, but you don’t want to miss out on such an iconic place just because you forgot to bring the cash for the entrance ticket to the church here.

A speed boat tour of Kotor is the perfect way to experience Boka Bay’s stunning beauty with a thrilling twist.

Submarine Tours of Kotor Bay

Although Kotor boat tours are a popular way to explore the bay’s surface beauty, a submarine tour allows you to see underwater from a unique perspective.

You’ll discover a hidden world of coral reefs and marine life – a view you won’t get unless you’re on a submarine tour.

Keen to learn more? Check out these options..

You can’t get more up close with Kotor Bay’s marine life than this hour-long semi-submarine tour.

Full Day Kotor Boat Tours

Why settle for a glimpse when you can spend a full day enjoying the splendour of Boka Kotorska Bay?

For this 8-9 hour long boat tour, your journey will start in Tivat .

Your final stop will be at Herceg Novi , where a guide will tell you all about the town’s three impressive fortresses: Forte Mare, Kanli Kula, and Španjola.

At the end of your tour, you’ll sail past Saint Marco Island (the largest island in Boka Bay) before finally returning to Tivat.

Mini Travel Guide to Kotor, Montenegro

When to Visit Kotor?

I think the best time to visit Kotor is either the months of May, September or October.

How to Travel There?

One of the great reasons Kotor makes a fantastic travel destination is because it’s easy to get to from lots of different directions and in lots of ways!

International airports can be found in Kotor’s closest hub Tivat, Montenegro’s capital Podgorica, or just outside the country in nearby Dubrovnik or Tirana in Albania.

All these airports boast budget airline arrivals from destinations around Europe – check out Skyscanner to compare prices.

From Tivat airport it’s then just a 15 minute drive to Kotor, otherwise if you’re coming Podgorica, Dubrovnik or Tirana airports, you can then easily find a cheap bus or private transfer to Kotor.

For those already travelling in the Balkan / Eastern European area, buses to Kotor can also be easily found using Busbud .

This great website allows you too book online bus tickets from a range of companies in advance and choose the best option for you based on price, duration and comfort.

How to Get Around Kotor Town?

Once in Kotor, you’ll then be delighted to know getting around this town is super cheap and easy.

That’s mainly because it’s undertaken using your own 2 feet!

The exception is if you want to head out to explore other parts of the Bay of Kotor, such as the village of Perast.

For this, it’s best to either cycle, hop on the public Blue Line bus or, of course, take a boat trip or water taxi!

How Much Time Do You Need in Kotor?

I’d honestly advise staying at least 4-5 nights in Kotor.

There’s a lot to see and do in and around the town and it also makes for a nice Montenegro base if you want to venture further afield.

Where to Stay in Kotor?

I highly recommend the Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort .

Montenegro Travel FAQs: Answered

Is Kotor Safe?

I travelled Kotor as a solo female and felt very safe.

What to Pack for Kotor?

#1 Good Camera – I highly recommend the Sony A6000 , which I use for all my travels and which I love not least because it’s light, compact and robust!

#2 Good Walking Shoes – Make sure your feet are comfortable with a pair of New Balance Trainers . 

#3 Good Water Bottle – Ensure you have a metal water bottle that you can refill as you go, because the tap water in Kotor is drinkable.

#4 Good Backpack – You can’t go past the Bobby Anti Theft Backpack , which is perfect for helping you avoid pickpockets.

Travel Insurance

Alternatively, if you’re a long-term traveller, digital nomad or frequent remote worker seeking travel health cover, check out Safetywing’s Nomad Insurance policies.

Money in Montenegro

The currency in Montenegro is the Euro and I advise bringing some cash with you, as well as a good card you can use to pay for things abroad.

With real exchange rates, no transaction fees and no ATM withdrawal charges, you can use your Wise card just like a debit card when travelling… and it links easily with Google and Apple pay, Grab yours here .
