The classic Bay of Kotor tour. A shared speedboat departs Kotor at 09:00, 12:00, or 15:00 and visits the Blue Cave (swim inside on private tours when sea conditions allow), Our Lady of the Rocks island chapel, and Perast. Group tours are perfect for solo travellers and couples.
The shorter option — ideal if you want to combine the boat tour with exploring Kotor's walled Old Town. Departures at 12:00 and 15:00. Visits Our Lady of the Rocks and the baroque waterfront of Perast.
The entire boat for your group. Flexible departure time, swim inside the Blue Cave, and a customised route. Popular with families from Porto Montenegro (Tivat's luxury marina) and guests at Tivat's boutique hotels. Private tour prices start at €120 for the Our Lady & Perast 1.5h and €240 for the Blue Cave & Our Lady 3h.
Kotor and Tivat sit on opposite sides of the inner bay. From Tivat's Porto Montenegro marina, you can see Kotor's medieval city walls across the water — but the road goes around the bay (15 km) rather than across it. A boat tour from Kotor gives you the full picture: the entire bay seen from the water, from the UNESCO-listed Old Town all the way to the open Adriatic.
On private tours, we offer complimentary pickup from private jetties along the Bay of Kotor coastline — including jetties in the Tivat/Porto Montenegro area. Contact us via WhatsApp (+382 69 923 981) to arrange this when booking a private tour.
Kotor's Old Town (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is extraordinary. Allow 1.5–2 hours to walk the city walls (1,350 steps), visit the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon (built 1166), and explore the medieval lanes. Combined with a 3-hour boat tour, it makes a perfect full-day trip from Tivat.
