Full Tour Description: A Day in Paradise
Departure from Kotor – Set Sail in Style
Your adventure begins at the harbor of Kotor, the heart of Boka Bay and one of the Adriatic’s best-preserved medieval towns. The backdrop is pure magic: towering limestone cliffs, ancient walls climbing the hillside, and emerald waters glistening in the early light. After meeting your experienced, English-speaking skipper and boarding your modern, comfortable speedboat, you’ll begin your journey across Montenegro’s stunning coastline.
We also offer flexible pickup options from various points around the bay, including Dobrota, Prcanj, Tivat, and other locations—perfect if you’re staying outside the Old Town.
From the moment you leave the marina, you’ll feel the freedom of the open sea, with gentle waves, fresh salt air, and endless views all around. The tour is private, meaning you’ll have the boat all to yourselves—just you, your group, and the sea.
Our Lady of the Rocks – History Floating on Water
The first stop of the day is the legendary island of Our Lady of the Rocks, located just off the coast of Perast. This man-made island is steeped in maritime legend and cultural history. According to local lore, two sailors discovered an icon of the Virgin Mary on a rock in 1452. From then on, locals began the tradition of throwing stones into the sea to build the island—a practice that continues today during the annual “Fašinada” celebration.
The island is home to a beautiful Baroque church and museum, which you can explore at your own pace. Inside, you’ll find paintings by Tripo Kokolja, silver plaques from seafarers, and intricate tapestries with incredible stories. The views from the island are spectacular, offering panoramic sights of Perast and the surrounding mountains—a perfect opportunity for memorable photos.
Submarine Tunnels – Step Into the Shadows of History
Next, we cruise along the coastline to the Yugoslav-era submarine tunnels, carved deep into the karst cliffs during the Cold War. These massive, hidden chambers once housed submarines and military vessels, invisible to enemy forces and unreachable by land.
As the boat enters one of the tunnels, the temperature drops and the acoustics shift—you’ll feel like you’ve entered another world. The scale of the tunnels is impressive, and your skipper will share fascinating insights about how these relics were used and why they remain untouched to this day. It’s a rare chance to experience a piece of secret history, right in the heart of Boka Bay.
Panoramic Ride Past Mamula Fortress – The Guardian of the Bay
From there, we head out toward the open sea, where the landscape begins to change. The bay opens wide, the sea deepens, and the coastline becomes more dramatic. Our next highlight is a panoramic cruise around Mamula Island, a 19th-century Austro-Hungarian fort built at the mouth of the bay.
Mamula has served many purposes throughout history—from defensive stronghold to prison—and today it’s one of the most iconic silhouettes in Montenegrin waters. Your skipper will navigate around the island so you can admire its massive stone walls, crumbling towers, and strategic location. The scenery here is wild, untamed, and awe-inspiring—especially under the sunlit sea breeze.
The Blue Cave – Swim in a Natural Light Show
Soon after, we arrive at what is often the highlight of the entire journey: the Blue Cave (Plava Špilja). This natural sea grotto is famous for its glowing turquoise water, created when sunlight reflects off the white sand seabed through a submerged entrance. The result? An otherworldly blue shimmer that lights up everything—your skin, your swimsuit, even the boat.
You’ll have plenty of time here to swim inside the cave, float on your back in silence, or snorkel through the luminous water. For many guests, this is the moment that stays with them the longest—a peaceful, almost dreamlike experience in one of nature’s true masterpieces.
If you’d rather stay dry, the view from the boat is just as beautiful. Be sure to have your camera ready—this is Instagram gold.
Ribarsko Selo – Hidden Culinary Oasis by the Sea
After your swim, it’s time to refuel in style. We make a stop at Ribarsko Selo, a charming, family-run restaurant nestled into a quiet bay surrounded by pine trees and calm waters. Far from the tourist crowds, this is where locals come to unwind.
You can choose to enjoy a full lunch here—with fresh-caught fish, octopus salad, seafood pasta, or grilled meats, all served with local wines and incredible views. There’s a private dock for sunbathing or swimming, and the vibe is always serene. You can take your time here: linger over dessert, sip a rakija, or dip your toes in the water while your food is prepared.
This isn’t just a lunch stop—it’s a highlight of the tour, offering a true taste of Montenegro’s coastal lifestyle.
Galebova Plaza – Rock Jumping & Hidden Bay Swimming
Once everyone’s refreshed, we continue to Galebova Plaza, a secret beach cove that’s a favorite among locals. Surrounded by rocky cliffs and clear waters, this spot is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, or even cliff jumping.
For the adventurous, there are safe rocks from which you can leap into the sea—a fun and exhilarating way to cool off. For others, the clear waters and soft waves make it a perfect spot to float and relax. We provide snorkeling gear, so feel free to explore the underwater scenery—tiny fish, sea grass, and the peaceful quiet of the Adriatic beneath the surface.
Return Cruise via Prcanj – Sunset and Serenity
As the tour winds down, we begin the return journey through the inner bay, passing the sleepy, postcard-perfect town of Prcanj. With its historic palaces, centuries-old churches, and quiet waterfront, Prcanj offers a peaceful final stretch of coastline before returning to Kotor.
This leg of the journey is often filled with soft golden light, gentle breezes, and a calm sense of satisfaction. Many guests pour themselves a glass of wine or crack open a cold beer as they reflect on the day’s beauty and adventure.
