Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h)
Description
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. A nice dip inside the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon that's been created by waves crashing for thousands of years at the Lustica peninsula. The speedboat does NOT enter the Blue Cave. Guests reach the cave by swimming from the boat. We will make a brief stop next to Mamula Island, on which the prison was made in 1853. We continue to one of the three submarine tunnels used during the Second World War to hide and repair submarines. And at the end, we will see the island Our lady of the rocks. This is a man-made islet, built upon a crag that bore the icon of the Holy Mother Mary. We'll make sure that you have the best possible time with us and bring home amazing memories!

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

Great tour, left on time and arrived back as advertised. We first went to the old submarine caves which the kids loved. This was followed by some swimming in the blue cave. Lots of boats there so we only spent a little time in the water. Finished at the island which was beautiful. Great tour, with only 8 people in total on our tour so didnt feel packed in.
Was an amazing excursion close to the port , very friendly , captain was very knowledgeable and let us know what was going on at all times !
Speedboat trip out to see various sights - our lady of the rocks which was fabulous, but he submarine tunnels, fascinating, and the blue caves which if I’m honest were a bit disappointing - not that blue and swimming and navigating boats wasn’t loads of fun. We stopped at a beach for 45 mins which wasn’t in the description and to be honest wasn’t necessary. The tour was 15 mins late starting and we came back nearly an hour after our appointed time, on the one hand, a longer experience, but could be an issue if you had follow on plans. Our two boat drivers were good value .
We took the 3-hour Sea Dog Speed Boat Tour to the Blue Cave and the submarine tunnels, and it was worth every penny. Finding the dock was easy—once you get off the cruise ship, it’s just to the left in a park right along the water, directly across the street from the supermarket and shopping center. One quick tip: the only restroom before heading out is inside the shopping center, and you'll need either a 2-euro coin or a receipt from one of the restaurants with a QR code to use it. The tour itself hit the perfect mix of fun, excitement, and relaxation. Seeing the submarine tunnels was fascinating, and swimming at the Blue Cave—located right at the edge, just before the open water—was a total highlight. We also really enjoyed stopping at a charming little coastal town along the way. After traveling all the way out, it took about an hour to get back to port, which ended up being a really nice ride back. All in all, a fantastic day on the water and definitely worth your time and money!
Great experience. 3 hours went by fast and you get to see all the highlights. Be careful with the motorboats by the cave. Seems a bit unsafe to swim past all of them coming and going to the cave entrance. Recommend wearing a life jacket that you can be seen better.
We had a great time! The crew was super nice.
Very beautiful activity that is really worth the detour! Magnificent landscapes, and the swimming part in the blue caves is an incredible experience. We chose the 9 a.m. slot, which is ideal for enjoying the activity without suffering too much from the heat. The team on board is top-notch! I highly recommend this activity!
Our captain was very knowledgeable about the landmarks and was very skilled in operating the boat in a safe manner amongst a crowded area and some of the other boats that weren’t operating so safely. He also played great music!
We booked through Salma, she was helpful and nice and easy to deal with, the tour was amazing.
The tour itself was good, but unfortunately the tour boat driver attitude really affected our experience. He was very rude, impatient, and seemed to have an attitude that we didn’t know anything. He was not willing to explain things patiently and behaved as though we should simply accept whatever he said. The Montenegro trip was enjoyable overall, but the driver made the experience disappointing. The Blue Cave stop was also quite far away, and the cave was not shown properly, so it did not feel worth the money we paid. unfortunately the boat driver behaviour and attitude made the overall trip disappointing. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality of the tour guide and driver
