Blue Cave Boat Tour from Kotor – Full Itinerary

Swimming and Snorkeling at the Blue Cave

Our first stop is the famous Blue Cave, one of Montenegro’s most beautiful natural attractions, located on the Luštica Peninsula.

Here, you can swim and snorkel in the crystal-clear blue water and enjoy the spectacular surroundings. Entering the cave by boat is strictly prohibited, so we explore this beautiful spot from the water.

Life jackets are available on board for guests who feel more comfortable wearing them. We also have a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) for those who want to enjoy the water in a different way or feel more secure while floating.

Mamula Island and the Submarine Tunnels

After the Blue Cave, we cruise past Mamula Island, known for its historic fortress, before continuing to one of the former Yugoslav submarine tunnels.

We enter the tunnel by boat, giving you a chance to see this unusual piece of military history from the water.

For guests looking for a little more adventure, we can also stop for a jump into the sea near the tunnel, where conditions are safe and jumping is permitted.

A Relaxing Break in Rose Village

Our next stop is Rose, a small coastal village on the Luštica Peninsula.

We usually spend around 1 to 1.5 hours here, giving you time to enjoy a coffee, have lunch at a local restaurant, or simply relax by the sea.

Please note that food and drinks purchased in Rose are not included in the tour price.

Second Submarine Tunnel and Our Lady of the Rocks

After Rose, we visit another submarine tunnel before continuing through the Bay of Kotor to Our Lady of the Rocks, the famous artificial island near Perast.

You will have the opportunity to visit this remarkable historic site. The €5 entrance fee per person is not included in the boat tour price.

Snorkeling Above a Sunken Yugoslav Warship

Before returning to Kotor, we make one final swimming and snorkeling stop near Perast.

Here, a sunken warship from the era of Tito’s Yugoslavia rests at a depth of approximately 6 meters. When visibility is good, you can explore the site from the surface while snorkeling.

After this final swim, we enjoy a scenic cruise back to Kotor.

For the best experience, we recommend starting your private Blue Cave boat tour from Kotor at 9:00 or 9:30 AM.

This gives us plenty of time for swimming, sightseeing and a relaxing break in Rose, without rushing through the day.

The itinerary and swimming stops may be adjusted depending on sea and weather conditions.
