- Bay of Kotor - Embark on an enchanting journey along the waters of Kotor Bay, allowing guests to explore its stunning coastline, adorned with numerous ancient fishing villages, lush vegetation, and other natural and architectural marvels.
- Our Lady of the Rocks - Visit the legendary island of Our Lady of the Rocks. This is a man-made islet, constructed on a rock that held the icon of the Holy Mother Mary, and it features a church built by seafarers and locals to honor the gracious Mother Mary. Visitors can hear the mystical story of the island’s creation and explore the many paintings, votives, and other artworks in the museum attached to the church.
- Former Submarine Tunnel - Situated near Kumbor on the Lustica Peninsula, these secretive submarine tunnels were constructed by the Yugoslav Navy during and after World War II. Carved directly into the rocky coastline, the tunnels were designed to conceal and protect submarines and smaller military vessels from aerial surveillance and attack. Today, they serve as intriguing, silent reminders of Cold War-era naval strategy. Accessible by boat, the tunnels offer a unique insight into Montenegro’s military history and are a popular stop on coastal boat tours.
- Mamula Fortress - Mamula Island, located at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, hosts a 19th-century Austro-Hungarian fortress built by General Lazar Mamula. Originally intended for coastal defense, the island gained a darker reputation during World War II when it was used as a prison camp by Italian forces.
- Blue Grotto - The adventure concludes with a delightful swim inside the Blue Cave, a natural wonder formed by waves crashing for thousands of years at the Lustica Peninsula. The name comes from the enchanting ambiance created by iridescent lighting that reflects on the water due to the Sun’s rays passing through small cave openings.

Best thing you can do in Boka bay - We had an amazing time on the Blue Cave tour! The ride along the coast was breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and stunning views of hidden bays and cliffs. The highlight was definitely swimming inside the glowing Blue Cave – the water is unreal! Our skipper was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt safe and relaxed the whole time. Perfect mix of adventure and beauty. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting Montenegro!

Highly recomended - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an incredible time on the speed boat tour to the Blue Cave! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
The speed boat ride itself was a thrill — fast, smooth, and scenic with stunning views of the coastline of Kotor,Perast,Tivat,Herceg Novi and islands along the way. It added an adventurous touch that really made the experience stand out.
The highlight, of course, was the Blue Cave. The color of the water inside the cave was surreal — a glowing, electric blue that felt like something out of a dream. Our skipper timed the visit perfectly to catch the best lighting, and gave us plenty of time to soak it all in and snap photos.
Along the way, we also stopped at a few other hidden gems — beautiful swimming spots, quaint fishing villages, and a lovely beach where we could relax and grab a drink.
If you're in the area, this tour is an absolute must-do. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, natural beauty, and local charm. Highly recommended!
---if you ever go to speed boat tour look foward to find Boka Pearls !
Ask for Capitain Ivan ,
He is the best !
Thanks one more time and all the best !

Fun and Beautiful Speed Boat Experience - We had an amazing speed boat tour visiting the Blue Cave, the old submarine base, and Perast. The ride was smooth and fun, with beautiful views along the way. Swimming in the Blue Cave was a special experience, and the stop in Perast was perfect for a coffee and quick walk. Highly recommended if you want to see the coast from a different perspective!

It’s absolutely worth it - This 3-hour speedboat tour ended up being one of our favorite parts of visiting Montenegro! Everything was super easy from the start — communication with the agent was super chill and helpful. He even told us exactly where we could park our rental car for free and got us picked up right from there.
The boat itself was fast (in the best way), clean, and really comfy. Our skipper was awesome — super friendly and clearly knew what he was doing, which made the whole ride feel fun and safe.
We got to see all the highlights of Kotor Bay, from hidden caves to cute little towns, and even got a swim in that blue water. It’s a great way to explore the bay in just a few hours — and honestly, such a nice way to cool off compared to the heat onshore.
