From Dubrovnik: Montenegro Boat Tour from Perast to Kotor - Arriving in Kotor by water

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,804 reviews · from $66Our pick

Day trip from Dubrovnik to Kotor and Perast, with a scenic Montenegro boat cruise, local guides, UNESCO sights, and border-crossing advice.

“The tour started with poor weather but our guide Hana adapted the itinerary to allow for this. The visit to Perast and the Island of the Lady of the Rocks was pushed back to later in the day to allow the rainy/windy conditions to clear. We instead visited the beautiful historic city of Kotor first and this was a great way to start the trip! After a quick tour with a brilliant local guide (Mariana) I hiked to the Kotor Fortress. This was absolutely worth the €15 entry fee as this offers the most spectacular view of the City of Kotor and Bay of Boka Kotor! Next we arrived in…”

“Great insight to Montenegro and not just the coastal areas. 7 of us in total on the trip in very comfortable vehicle. Guide was so lovely, Milos, knew lots about the country and just genuinely a lovely person to do the tour. Couple of photo stops, Tara bridge where a few on the tour did the zip wire over the canyon, Durmitor park and the black lake and Ostrog monastery. All areas were beautiful and definitely worth the long drive. Stopped for breakfast and lunch on route, both really good with opportunity to be eating local food. We were staying in perast so we joined there as their first photo…”

“Great speed boat ride . Very experienced driver. An incredible way to see the harbor. We toured into the war time submarine bays hidden away during the war with Germany and Italy. We stopped to see tge blue cave! Aptly named as its the most beautiful color! We had the opportunity to swim in the Adriatic Sea under safe supervision of our tour guide and driver. Our driver was very attentive helping everyone load and unload. Great friendly young man.”

“No recommodation! 30 minutes before starting of the tour there came heavy rain, storm, lightning and thunder. The old town of Kotor was complety under water. An undangerous walk trought kotor was not possible. Because of that we hade to cancel the tour. We were in contact with the oragnizer, but the answer was, that this is our problem and we couldn't cancel the tour so shortly. Our canceling was not in case of personal problems, rather of the heavy rain and flooded streets. No understanding for that and recommodation for this organizer. Only greed for money!”

“We arrived in Kotor via cruise ship. Kotor was definitely amazing. Far nicer than most of the Italian ports we had previously visited. The tour meeting spot was a short walk from port. We met our guide and the other members of our group and departed across the bay and out to sea about 45 minutes to the Blue Cave. We were able to swim in the cave because we happened to arrive first, but shortly thereafter a number of other tour boats arrived and were unable to swim because of the very limited capacity in the cave and the choppy, churning waters. So the swimming aspect is really luck…”

Review of Kotor’s private Blue Cave and Lady of the Rocks speedboat tour, with practical details on stops, rough seas, price, and value.

“Well, the weather was terrible and we were not able to make it to the blue cave, however, the trip was still great. I had chartered my own boat so I could call the shots. We did lady on the rocks, and spent time in the submarine hideouts and then did a stroll in Porto Montenegro. All in all worth it but I recommend going private.”
