Best of Kotor: Blue Cave, Hidden Gems & Swimming (4h)
The extra hour over the standard trip goes where it matters: thirty minutes in Perast instead of twenty, and forty minutes at the cave instead of the usual twenty-five. That is the difference between photographing a place and actually being in it. The route still covers the submarine tunnels and Mamula, and there are drinks and snacks on board, so nobody is counting down to lunch.
Highlights
- A full half hour in Perast old town
- Our Lady of the Rocks
- The wartime submarine tunnels
- The 19th-century fortress on Mamula
- Forty minutes swimming at the Blue Cave
What to expect
- Out across the bay
An unhurried opening run with the mountains stacked up on both sides.
- Perast
Thirty minutes ashore, long enough to get off the main waterfront and into the side lanes.
- Our Lady of the Rocks
Past the island church and its neighbour, Saint George.
- The submarine tunnels
A stop at the tunnels cut into the rock for the navy.
- Mamula
The island fortress at the mouth of the bay.
- The Blue Cave
Forty minutes to swim and snorkel, which is long enough to wait out another boat and have the place quiet.

- Water, soft drinks and a beer
- Snacks
Not included
- Gratuities, at your discretion
Good to know
Yes, by swimming. Motorised boats are no longer allowed inside, so the boat anchors just outside and you swim in, which keeps the cave quiet and clean.
