Itinerary
We start with a captivating trip along the waters of Kotor Bay, enabling our guests to examine its magnificent coastline, which is adorned with multiple ancient fishermen villages, lavishing vegetation, and other natural and architectural wonders, and after 1:10 minutes we reach the Blue Cave.
After 1h 10 min, we arrive at the Blue Cave which is accessible through two entrances. One entrance is very wide, but low, while the other one is totally opposite - narrow and very tall. The cave is attractive for divers and for others. It is an excellent location for photo safari, both above and under the sea. The cave can be reached by boat
Mamula (also known as Lastavica) is an uninhabited islet in the Adriatic Sea, within the southwestern Montenegrin municipality of Herceg Novi. Mamula is located between Prevlaka and Luštica peninsulas at the entrance to the Boka Kotorska bay. This small islet is of circular shape, and has 200m in diameter. It is 3.4 nautical miles (6.3 km) away from Herceg Novi.
Our Lady of the Rocks (Serbian: Gospa od Škrpjela, pronounced [ɡɔ̌ːspa ɔd ʃkř̩pjɛla]) is one of the two islets off the coast of Perast in Bay of Kotor, Montenegro (the other being Sveti Đorđe Island). It is an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks.[1] The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks (Italian: Chiesa della Madonna dello Scarpello) is the largest building on the islet; it has a museum attached. There is also a small gift shop close to the church and a navigation light at the western end of the islet

I would love to spend more time at the Blue Cave, not only 10 minutes to go in and out. The tour was less than 3 hr because no one was interested in stopping at the island. I feel a little bit disappointed.
I strongly recommend avoiding Sea Dog and choosing one of the many other boat operators along the coast. We took the boat of 9am of July 20th. The advertised three-hour cruise lasted only around two and a half hours. Water was advertised as being included, yet none was provided. The payment experience was equally unprofessional. When we explained that we needed to pay by card, Sea Dog directed us to a competing operator nearby to process the payment. We were then charged an additional 10%, described as a “bank fee.” No proper explanation, receipt breakdown, or evidence for this unusually high fee was provided. After the cruise, I raised these issues directly with the company’s representative on shore. Her response was simply: “What can I do?” That dismissive attitude perfectly reflected the overall level of customer service. Most concerning of all, the skipper repeatedly used his mobile phone while operating the boat. This made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. The service did not match what was advertised, the payment process lacked transparency, and the response to our complaint showed no accountability whatsoever. In my experience, this is not a professional company. There are plenty of alternatives nearby—avoid Sea Dog and book with someone else.
We took the Blue Cave Group Tour with Boat Tours Perast on July 9, 2026, departing right from Perast, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! A massive shoutout goes to our captain, Boris. He was absolutely fantastic—incredibly attentive, fun, and very welcoming throughout the entire journey. As a skipper, he did an amazing job; his driving was smooth, steady, and very considerate of everyone on board, yet we still made excellent time. What really upgraded the experience was Boris's storytelling. He shared fascinating and engaging insights about the history and landmarks along the route, keeping everyone interested. On top of that, he picked the perfect, crystal-clear spot for us to go for a swim. If you are looking for a reliable, fun, and informative boat tour in the Kotor Bay area, we highly recommend Boat Tours Perast and, if you get the chance, definitely ask for Captain Boris!
We had an amazing speedboat tour with Sea Dog Boat Tours! The Blue Cave was gorgeous, and we had about 30 minutes to swim there. They also provided snorkeling masks, which was a nice bonus. We also stopped at Our Lady of the Rocks, which was beautiful and full of interesting history. Big thanks to our skipper, Boško, who was fun, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe the whole time. Selma was super helpful from the start. She explained the tour and booking process, made boarding easy, and answered all our questions. We didn’t even need to book in advance, which was really convenient. Highly recommend Sea Dog Boat Tours if you're visiting Kotor. Such a great experience!
I booked the tour with Selma, the tour guide, near Kotor Beach. She was very attentive, especially regarding the meeting point and details about the tour itinerary. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Montenegro's iconic landmarks during the three-hour boat tour. Swimming in the Blue Cave was also a delightful experience.
i booked directly with Salma where the boats are i was very skeptical of going as my daughter gets see sick and last time in london we got off as soon as we got on as she threw up salma was very nice and patient and let her try getting on and made sure she was okay post taking the medicine she’s super professional and had followed up all 24hrs before the trip to plan it well we also enjoyed the trip very much and loved that we stopped at perast
We had a great experience on this boat tour. Everything was well organized, and the communication with Selma was excellent from the start. She was friendly, quick to respond, and made the booking process very smooth. The tour itself was fantastic. The boat was driven professionally, and we felt safe the whole time. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
The tour was amazing from beginning to end. The boat captain was safe and provided excellent service. The sites, caves, and swimming in the ocean were beyond expectation.
We took the last tour of the evening and had a wonderful, sunny time on the water. Our absolute highlight was swimming in the Blue Cave! The panoramic views were spectacular, and our captain was fantastic—he made the entire trip perfect. We are also incredibly happy that we met Selma. She told us about the tour in the first place and, as a local, gave us wonderful tips for exploring Kotor. Highly recommended!
We took a boat trip, and it was definitely worth it. The views were beautiful, the experience was relaxing, and everything was well organized. We highly recommend it!
