Fun tour
This tour was just fine. It was scheduled to be a three hour tour, which it was, but we spent about 2 hours and 45 minutes of that on the boat. We decided to make a quick stop at the Lady of the Rocks island to see the church there. It was nice to see, but we didn't realize that by stopping there we'd only get about 10 minutes to swim at the cave. Our boat was not very fast. We kept getting passed by other boats that were able to go faster. Our guides never even told us their names and didn't talk to us very much at all. All that said, the Lady of the Rock was cool. The blue caves are beautiful and fun to swim in, and the WWII submarine caves are really neat to see!

Fantastic Boat Tour – Highly Recommended!
We had an amazing 3-hour boat tour with Kotor Boats Tours and enjoyed every minute of it. The crew was friendly, welcoming, and well organized.
We especially appreciated being picked up and dropped off in Perast, which made everything very convenient.
A nice touch was that we could choose whether to visit Our Lady of the Rocks or spend more time swimming in the Blue Cave, so everyone could enjoy the experience the way they preferred.
The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the whole trip was relaxed and unforgettable. We would definitely book with Kotor Boats Tours again. Highly recommended!

Amazing boat trup
Trip was awesome, the view was breathtaking. Swimming inside the blue cave was very relaxing and cool. The crew have safe-jackets for me that was very comfortable to wear, because I don’t swim very well. All time when we were on trip a crew member talks about country and we can asked the all questions from sailing to country politics and history. That 3 hours trip was one of the best attractions in Kotor.

Amazing views!
Great experience. Very organized. So glad I got to experience it! Montenegro is gorgeous!! It was a bit rushed to make sure we got back in time, but got to see everything I wanted to see.

Kotor Boat Tours - First Class trips
Had a fantastic trip with Kotor Boat Tours who we booked after extensive research. After being hassled by one boat trip seller after another, reviewing loads of Trip Advisor reviews, we discovered Kotor Boat Trips for ourselves, located near our accommodation. They have a well branded fleet of (at least) 4 speed boats, with very friendly staff. We approached them rather than the other way round 😊.
Our captain Adi spoke good English and despite choppy conditions ensured we had a fun and safe tour. Unfortunately it was too choppy to go swimming in the blue cave so after driving to look at where it is, we then headed for Zanjic beach, ensuring plenty of time for a swim and a drink.
This is an extremely professional and well run business. Excellent.

A perfect boat tour
The tour is amazing!
Vuk and Marco were 2 super captains! I would recommend the tour in the evening as the light in the bay is beautiful. Very well organized and explained the swim stop was breathtaking. We could even borrow diving goggles

Avoid these tours - safety is not even considered!
We had a terrible experience with this company on a 3-hour speedboat tour to the Blue Cave and Lady of the Rocks. I asked for a life jacket and it took them ages to find one, there was no health and safety talk or even consideration.
We waited 2p minutes at the port with little explanation, then once we boarded the boat, we stopped at another port to pick up more passengers, causing further delays.
The ride itself was terrifying — recklessly fast, with sudden turns that made the boat unstable. It felt more like an extreme sport than a sightseeing tour. The rough ride left us feeling sick and I even injured my wrists trying to hold on. It was horrendous.
The small boat, meant for only six people, was not suitable for such conditions. Maria, the host, was polite but offered minimal information at each stop. They didn’t even tell us what stops we would go to or in what order!
The captain seemed more interested in chatting with Maria and smoking, than ensuring our safety. We only had 10 minutes at the Blue Cave, making the whole tour a complete disappointment and a waste of money. Avoid this company!!

Hard not to like
We had a wonderful experience even though we a had a slight breakdown with the boat. Weather wasn't the best but didn't matter as all the sights were experienced without a hitch. Managed a quick swim at blue cave - water 20 deg C.
Staff were very polite and accommodating. Would recommend Kotor Boat Tours as a good day out.
