Description
The tour begins at a meeting point chosen by the guests, where an English-speaking skipper welcomes you. The speedboat departs towards the Blue Cave, passing panoramic views of old fishing villages along Kotor Bay.
At the Blue Cave, guests spend approximately 25 minutes swimming and taking photos. The cave’s unique turquoise color is created by sunlight interacting with the Adriatic Sea. Diving masks are provided for underwater viewing.
Next, the boat sails to Mamula island, an Austro-Hungarian fort where guests can make a photo stop. The tour then continues to the Yugoslavian submarine tunnels, where the boat enters one of the hidden naval shelters.
The following stop is Our Lady of the Rocks, a 15th-century artificial island. Guests can walk around the island and visit the small church, noting the entrance fee (2 euros per person) is paid on site.
The return trip offers panoramic views of Perast, a historic Baroque town, before arriving back at the original departure point.
