We had the best time!! Truly a dream-like experience. We did the private tour and it really is the best way to see all of the area. Breathtaking views, amazing places to swim, and lots of fascinating information and history. We will remember it forever, it was the highlight of our trip to the Balkans. For those who might fear sea-sickness, the waters were quite calm and we had no issues. If you’re in the area, this should be top of your list!

We came to visit Montenegro by cruise ship but wanted to experience something intimate and more our family's speed. So, we ended up booking the Private Blue Cave Tour. Since visiting Montenegro I have had recommended visiting and booking this to everyone who has asked about our trip. Our family was lucky enough to have Phillip as our guide and he was incredible. He was able to answer every single question we asked, was fluent in English, was extremely knowledgeable and was able to teach us so much. He was also super fun and we felt very safe. When it came to the caves, he suggested we don't actually swim in them, but instead swim outside due to swimmer visibility and the number of boats coming in and out. Our family completely agreed this was the best choice. Also, he provided us goggles so we could look at the fish, but truthfully if you are looking to snorkel and see colorful fish, you will not. All the fish we saw were small and were not very noticeable. Our boat ride was phenomenal, he handles the boat perfectly and the views were absolutely immaculate. This is an experience I will without a doubt be talking highly about for the rest of my life.

Group details: group of five who love being on the water and experiencing the world from it. Ages ranging from 23-59, with no serious health concerns or limitations.

This was a tour of the Blue caves of Kotor by speedboat. Our guide and driver was Vasco. He was really great and showed us all the sites in the area. We really enjoyed the tour and had a wonderful time. You can jump off the boat and go swimming in the caves although we took a pass on that. The caves are awesome!
This is a must see for anyone going to the area.
