2. Perast
The single street Old Town of Perast, located in Boka Bay at the edge of the St. Ivan hill, is considered the oldest settlement in Boka Bay as some discovered evidence of Neolithic culture found here dating back to 3500 years BC. Today Perast presents the worldly distinction as an important protected UNESCO world heritage site. The former city of captains and seafarers and today’s recognized luxury tourist destination records life in the town for eight centuries. Its position with the view of the whole Bay, including its two islands 'Our Lady of the Rock' and 'St George', represents a top tourist attraction in Montenegro. Easily reachable by waterway from the Bay of Kotor and Tivat makes it an inevitable tourist spot.
3. Our Lady of the Rocks
OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS The Island Our Lady of the Rocks, was made as an artificial island, which according to the stories was made by the seaman from Perast and Kotor, who on their big sail boats brought big stones. On the island there is a church. According to a legend, fisherman from Perast, after a shipwreck near the island, have found a icon of the Holy Mother of God with the Christ on a sea rock, so as the customs say they vowed to build a church on the island. They have built the church in 1630. As the island had to be maintained, the seaman continued to bring the stones, so that tradition is alive even today. If you want to go inside the church, you need to pay admission to them 1.5€

5. Mamula Fortress
Mamula Island Island Mamula is located at the entrance of the bay between Lustica and Herceg Novi. The fort on the island which covers almost 90% of the area, was built in 1853 by Austro-Hungarian admiral Lazar Mamula to prevent the enemies to enter the Bay of Kotor. After 1942, the fort was turned into a concentration camp during the period of Mussolini.
6. Blue Grotto
The Blue Cave is a natural phenomenon located on the Monenegrian coast. The cave is known for its stunning blue light that illuminates the cave's interior. The light, which is caused by sunlight reflecting off the white-pebble bottom of the cave, creates a mesmerizing effect that has captivated visitors for centuries.

Company happily moved our trip due to bad weather. The guide was very good and well experienced. Although we couldn't swim in the blue caves as it was to busy the guide took us slightly around the corner for a more private swim. Would recommend.

Montenegro is unbelievably beautiful way beyond our expectations. The weather didn’t cooperate for us to take planned trip but Viator refunded us 100% of the cost. That aside the operators took us out on an abbreviated tour that was still fun and informative. Great crew. Highly recommend Montenegro and taking a water tour.

I had so much fun on this boat trip! The boat was small, about eight of us on there. The guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, and we shared a bit of a joke as he looked so much like my brother it was creepy! He was happy for me to take a photo to show my family! The boat goes FAST and it can be bumpy, and you WILL get wet - be prepared! The tunnel and the caves were my personal favourites, and the scenery is spectacular. I thought it was great value for money. I’d highly recommend!

Eine wunderschöne Tour, bei der man sehr viel von der schönen Natur sieht. Leider gab es nur recht wenig Informationen zu der U-Bootstation, sodass man da nach ein paar Minuten wieder wegfuhr.
Es gibt vor Ort in Kotor wesentlich günstigere Preise für dieselbe Leistung.

There were thunderstorms the morning of our tour. We asked the operator if the tour would be canceled and he said no because they had rain jackets. We boarded the boat in the middle of a lightning storm against our better judgment and we were taken to Our Lady of the Rocks in the middle of the bay with no shelter for 30 minutes. Dangerous and terrifying. The tour operator would STILL not call the tour canceled because he didn’t want to have to refund anybody. Our group ended up asking to bail on the rest of the tour and to be taken back. Irresponsible to put money over guest safety. There are plenty of other tours, book elsewhere.

Tour itinerary is great however to many people in the boat. Need to keep to max of 6-8 people. Our tour had 10 adults and a young child, no space to sit comfortably on the boat. Very crowded, sitting on a small seat edge for over an hour out to caves.

The starting place was easy to find and close to the port. They were well organized and we left promptly on time. The boat took 8 of us so it was very comfortable. The scenery is beautiful, the swim at Blue Caves awesome. Our skipper had water for us and brought us back on time 3 hours later.

We had an amazing experience! Our skipper Milan was very knowledgeable on the history and allowed plenty of time to swim in the caves! Thank you 😊

The other operators are happy to point out the stand if struggling to find the the tour group. No changing facilities other than the local shopping centre (which is closed on a Sunday).

Ps don’t wear a hat!!

Views were incredible, friendly and informative tour guide. Enjoyable swim, the blue cave was very busy so our guide took us just outside to a different cave so we could have a better experience. Amazing atmosphere, music playing and beautiful weather.
