Description

Travel by speedboat for maximum scenic views and minimal hassle with stops for photos and relaxation. Depart from Kotor and glide along the coastline, admiring stone villages and mountain landscapes from the water level.

Your first stop is Our Lady Of The Rocks, a famous church located on an artificial island near Perast. Learn the local story behind its creation and capture photos at one of the bay’s most recognizable sights.

Next, pass Mamula Island, featuring a striking fortress silhouette and rich history. This viewpoint offers some of the most photographed scenes on the route.

The highlight is a swim stop at the Blue Cave. Due to local eco-regulations, motorized engines stay outside the cave, ensuring a peaceful experience free from exhaust fumes. The boat anchors 10 to 20 meters from the cave entrance so you can swim into the clear water and see the ethereal blue glow up close.

Finish the day at Zanjice Beach, a calm location for swimming or relaxing by the shore. Afterwards, return to Kotor with one last scenic cruise through the bay.
