Blue Cave Adventure
Hop aboard a boat and experience the undeniable beauty, rich history and culture of Boka Bay. This tour features a cruise around the Bay of Kotor, which allows you to enjoy panoramic views of fishing villages, churches, historical monuments and take a dip in Blue Cave.
Your Boka Bay adventure begins with a short, easy walk from your cruise ship to Kotor City Park, just 200 meters from the Old Town's main gate. Here, your friendly captain will welcome you aboard a premium boat featuring comfortable seating, a sun-shade canopy, and small group sizes for a relaxed, VIP-style experience. Enjoy a scenic cruise designed to help you avoid the larger crowds and make the most of your time in Montenegro. Your first stop is the charming island of Our Lady of the Rocks, a 15th-century man-made islet steeped in local legend. According to tradition, seamen discovered an icon of the Holy Mother of God on a rock in the bay and, in gratitude, began placing stones at the site, gradually creating the island you see today. During your visit, admire the historic church, known for its Baroque artwork, votive tablets, and treasured tapestries. Back on board, cruise through the stunning waters of Boka Bay, passing the historic Mamula Island fortress and pausing briefly at the former Yugoslav submarine tunnels carved into the coastline. Your journey continues to the breathtaking Blue Cave, accessible only by boat. Your captain will anchor just outside the cave, where you can enjoy a short swim into its crystal-clear, glowing blue waters. Take in the cave's breathtaking rock formations and shimmering reflections as you experience one of Montenegro's most spectacular natural attractions. Afterward, relax on a scenic ride back to port. Your captain closely monitors your ship's schedule, ensuring a timely return with plenty of time to spare. , relax on a scenic ride back to port.
