Wonderful way to visit the blue cave! - This was really a great way to visit the blue cave and surrounding coastal area. Communication and making a reservation on Whatsapp was easy and informative. This week was extremely hot so we set out early (7am). There were two families (total 9 people) and the guides who were helpful, fun and relaxed.
You need no prior experience. Rowing takes some effort, but nothing extraordinary. The blue cave is amazing. We kayaked into it and had plenty of time to snorkel (equipment provided). On the way back we visited a couple of other caves (one of them is totally dark, which was a very nice experience), and visited some spots were we could safely jump from the rocks into the water. We had a wonderful morning adventure. Thank you Armando, Augusto and Jim!

A Unforgettable Kayak Experience must if you go to Montenegro - My daughter and I did the kayak excursion to the Blue Cave, and it was a fantastic experience. The small group made it feel personal and relaxed. Armando and Gusto were truly one of a kind—always attentive to the group, explaining the different sights along the way, and making it fun. They took great care of us, and Armando even gave us valuable tips for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended!

Brilliant experience - This tour is great for people wanting more than to just ‘drive’ from cave to cave. Kayaking along the sea was an amazing way to see the beauty of the Adriatic coastline. Setting off early also meant a lot of the crowds are missed. Armando was a knowledgeable and professional guide who was also very friendly and funny. I would highly recommend this tour :)

Generally, we were quite... - Generally, we were quite blown away with the beauty of Montenegro. The coast is stunning and the Balkan mountains surrounding the area is beautiful! The water is very clear and it was exhilarating to do such an active excursion. The water can be a bit rough, so if you get motion sickness, it can definitely cause a bit of nausea. Our tour guide was great and after we finished suggested for us to go up the cable car that overlooks the bay—which was an added bonus that we also really loved. Shuttles back Kotor are easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend this activity and place to anyone.

A must do in Montenegro! - We were staying in Montenegro for 5 days and decided to book the Blue cave tour for one of the days as it was very recommended online. We decided to book with Montenegro+ due to the good reviews and it did not disappoint. Our guide tour Armando was awesome, from communication to information to vibes, he was incredible the whole time. He looked well after us and provided an amazing experience we’ll never forget. We couldn’t recommend him more!! He even shared some cool spots to visit and eat! Thank you so much!!

BEST TOUR EVER - This was the most incredible tour we have ever been on. We have been travelling Europe for almost 2 months and this was definitely the highlight of the trip. Our guide Armando was amazing! Very accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun to spend the day with. We ended up being the only ones who booked the trip, so we got a private tour. I don't think the photos or description of this tour quite do it justice. We went to several caves and swim spots during our trip, including the blue cave, the black cave, and other smaller spots. Snorkeling equipment was provided and we were free to use it at all the swim locations. We swam/snorkeled inside the blue cave and at a few other spots. We were out on the water for about 3 hours, which gave us plenty of time at each location without feeling rushed. Our guide brought us each a 1.5 litre frozen bottle of water, which stayed cold all day. I recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting wet as you are likely to get wet during the trip. Don't let the price scare you, it's totally worth it!!

Highlight of our trip - strongly recommend - Highlight of our visit - which generally exceeded expectations. Rafael (group owner) was very communicative and organized. Armando (our guide) was upbeat, helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely wanted us to have an amazing time. The cave was everything it is billed to be and the coast is breathtaking. Seeing this in the tranquility and simplicity of a kayak is 100% the right way to do it - would recommend

An unforgettable experience with a super guide - It was a wonderful day. We were picked up on time by our guide Armando. The trip to the starting point of our kayak tour was already very fun. We immediately felt very comfortable. The kayak tour to the Blue Caves was just wonderful. We were as a couple just alone with our guide. It was totally relaxed despite the wind and a few waves. Even a dolphin greeted us with what nobody expected. We started the tour quite early to avoid mass tourism in the caves. A fantastic idea from the provider. There were really only two ships in the cave. We had super much time for snorkeling and bathing. Also at the other places where we were in the water it went super chilled and we could enjoy it. Armando showed us a lot and we had a lot of fun. Even after that we had a great chat with our guide. "The best and only Mexican guide " We felt super cared for and will not forget this fantastic day.

Not local guides, not what we signed up for, not very profssional - Let me start off by saying that we booked this kayak/Blue Cave excursion and didn't get it. The night before, someone from the tour company messaged me and suggested that we not do the kayak to the cave since we weren't scheduled for first thing in the morning. he said when you go later in the day, the caves are inundated with hundreds of boats and people and it's not a good experience. He then proceeded to sell me on the cable car and bicycling down the mountain which, e said if we could ride bikes, we could easily do. He said it was very easy and would be a better experience for us. Also said he'd owe us like 10 Euro back or something in the price difference. Ha.
Straight from the beginning, the tour felt disorganized and fairly unprofessional. We ended up waiting a long time at the meetup location for a couple other people who never arrived. The van - as mentioned by some others - was pretty gross. The cable car ride up was beautiful, but this is something we could have done on our own.
My daughter and I wanted to ride the alpine coaster that is up on the top. Our guides, Simon and Henry, kind of tried to talk us out of it saying the lines are usually long and it's not that great, but if we wanted to do it, there would be time if the lines weren't bad. Well, there weren't any lines as all and it was actually super fun. We're really glad we did it. Also, the person who messaged me the day before advised me to get the fast track ticket for the alpine coaster, which. I did buy online beforehand. Total waste of money as there were no lines.
On to the bike ride. it was really stressful. The riding is not "easy" for a beginner rider. My daughter is not a confident cyclist. She can ride a bike, but has never gone down a mountain before. We were riding on the side of the main road (not a bike path) where cars, shuttles, motorcycles, and full sized tour buses go up and down the mountain. For a large part of the ride, the road is single lane with switchbacks and not a lot of safety on the drop-off side. For a nervous rider, the choices of being really steady on the side of the narrow road while vehicles whiz by you, get hit head-on by a bus, or fall off the side of a mountain were pretty intense. Basically, my daughter was afraid the entire time down and I was really stressed out watching her as I could tell she was scared and shaky.
No you don't need to be an advanced bike rider to do this activity, but you should be very comfortable on a bike riding in traffic on a steep hill.
Here's what actually made me peeved though, later that night, I talked to a few different people on our cruise who, in fact, DID kayak to the Blue Cave in the afternoon and got to swim in the water with a different tour company, and they had an amazing time! UGH! So mad. We feel absolutely ripped off as the next day it rained and we didn't get a chance to see the caves then either. It's not like we're going to be in the area again, soon.
The final piece that got me irked was the fact that our guides were not actually locals. They were nomadic backpackers doing temp gigs. One guy was from the UK and had been there for 2.5 weeks. I guess anyone can just lead this company's tour. Wtf. The guys were very nice, but it did feel a lot like two frat boys off the street were offered a few bucks to lead some people on an activity they could have done on their own.
These excursions aren't cheap and people are often traveling from very far to have unique and memorable experiences. It would be great if Montenegro+ treated their end of the business with a little more professional care.
Pros: The "guides" were nice. We got some beautiful views.
Cons: Felt unprofessional and even unsafe. We feel ripped off that we were manipulated into an activity that wasn't what we wanted. Feel like we wasted our time and money.
