3.From Kotor: Boat to Blue Cave & Lady of the Rocks &Submarine Base

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,104 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $32Best value

Ride a speedboat from Kotor to the Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, submarine tunnels, and Mamula Fortress. The three-hour trip costs $32.53 per person and includes swimming time when sea conditions allow. Captains such as Boben may lead departures, though the guide is not guaranteed.

“Read this: absolute joke of an operation. They own no boats. They rent or borrow boats from other companies that are not full. So everyday they hope that other companies will have availability for their customers. Despite booking and paying 4 months in advance my party of two was left behind on the walk to the dock because a party of 3 would make it the boat maximum and another $50 in profit. Our day was ruined because of their disregard for planning and if you read other reviews this happens frequently. DO NOT BOOK HERE WITH HAWAII BOAT TOURS KOTOR. Go to the docks and book with an operator…”

Some music, drinks, fruit, and guidance, together with sunbathing, friendly fellow tourists, and beautiful views and stops, made the trip complete and perfect! A big thank you to the guide who helped me create a nice surprise with a birthday song for my daughter’s 20th birthday❤️.”
