Cut into the steep banks of the Luštica there are three tunnels. Although the tunnels were built during Yugoslavia, Luštica was an important military base during the First and Second World Wars as well as during the Cold War. The tunnels were used to hide and repair submarines and ships. The length of the tunnel is up to fifty meters, width 7 meters. The average depth of the tunnel is about eight meters, and the depth around the exit from the tunnel increases to thirty meters. Also in the submarine tunnel there is a whole complex of underground tunnels, in which there was technical equipment needed for servicing and repair of submarines.
Perast is small baroque town of famous captains with beautiful museum and old houses. Although Perast had only 350 inhabitants, there were 18 churches and 19 palaces in it. The symbol of the city is the church of Saint Nicholas with its impressive 55 meter high bell tower, proudly above the building. Unfortunately, because of the lack of money, it was never finished.
Our Lady of the Rock is beautiful island made by people who used to live in Perast. The story says that two fishermen from Perast have found Our Lady Icon on the rock sticking out from the sea. People promised they will make island and church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rocks. And here it is, glorious church with museum on the small island. Our travelers will have opportunity to visit both church and museum.

Absolutely amazing 3 hours. It’s a small group in a very fast speed boat and you hit some really stunning spots. A must do.
We had a great day.The boat was beautiful.The captain was an amazing driver.He helped my mom get on and off the boat and was patient with waiting for her being slower than others.He explained where we were and offered us water, very comfortable ride.
The cave was good but we were only there 25 minutes out of 3 hours. the captain and first mate were not. They were both smoking in the boat and most of the time were picking people up and dropping them off
Initially, it was very hard to find the correct boat and company as there were no signs near the dock wit all the boats, but they were very communicative through What's App. I really enjoyed this trip - it was a quick trip and I wish we had more time to take pictures near the blue caves, but it was very crowded and the waves were rocky and our boat had to quickly move out. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Didn't enjoy this tour. You only actually stop once at the church. Then you're sitting on the boat for 2 hours solid, no toilet stops etc. Cave area was really dirty with lots of rubbish floating in water. So dissapointing. Skipper didn't seem keen to stop for people to swim, it was cold also so only 1 person swam. No stop at Perast either. Just drive by. Our kids were bored and cold from sitting so long.
It was a wonderful trip - friendly, helpful crew - enjoyed every minute!!
The first thing I would expect from a competent boat captain would be safety, especially on a high speed boat ride lasting 3 hours. I have many years of boating experience and I know that there are risks involved. There was no mention of life jackets. The life jackets were no where to be seen. Midway through the trip I asked if there were life jackets when the 25 yo captain decided to accelerate the boat in apparent race that he decided with two other boats he must win. Afterward he said “now you know who is the fastest boat” In response to my question about life jackets. He said “in the cabin, there is also an inflatable boat. Do you want to see it?” “Well no. I responded it is typical that safety be discussed ahead of a voyage.” If there had been an accident those life jackets were not readily accessible. As to racing the boat in the ocean, the boat was occupied by 8 senior citizens. One of which was disabled. Who was this captain trying to impress? Frequently observed him stepping away from the helm to the bow of the boat taking both hands off the steering wheel while bumping the throttle. I’m sure he could see better from that view point; but, not in control of the steering wheel while doing so. While at the blue cave there was an opportunity to swim. Was it safe? Not in my opinion. Seven or eight motor boats with swimmers in the water. That is not really what I consider careful. The ride was fun but no consideration was given to passenger safety or comfort. I recommend looking for a boat captained by an older more experienced fellow or woman.
Everything was amazing, would absolutely recommend!
The sights we visited were interesting and beautiful, but if you want pictures of the scenery and the experience you might want to insure the boat does not have 12 people on an 8 seat boat. We were crowded in for 2 hours+. The driver and the guide were interesting and fun, but in the caves and tunnels the boat was always moving so my pictures have other passengers and the boat Bimini bars, probably not a great tour for the elderly.
We travelled with friends. The sea was calm initially but grew to a wavy tide that made the boat ride bumpy. Awesome view of the mountains and turquoise- colored sea. Temperature was perfect, not too hot nor.cold.
