Description
Explore the Bay of Kotor on a boat tour from Kotor. Visit the Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks, Submarine Tunnels and Mamula Island!
Join us on a private or small-group boat tour through the scenic Boka Bay on a day trip from Kotor. Journey through the stunning Blue Cave and visit Our Lady of the Rocks island, guided by a knowledgeable skipper.
Start your adventure from Kotor, with the first ride by being the historic town of Perast. Known for its Venetian-inspired architecture, Perast features notable landmarks like the Church of St. Nicholas and the Perast Museum. Once a key trade hub, this charming town has a rich heritage dating back to the Middle Ages and is home to two picturesque islands: St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks.
At Our Lady of the Rocks, enjoy a 20-minute stop. This island, with its impressive 15th-century Church of Our Lady of the Rocks, is free to explore. The church is accompanied by a small museum showcasing maritime artifacts and paintings. Take in the captivating scenery and capture unforgettable photos.
Next, sail into the Yugoslavian-era Submarine Base, a covert naval installation created under the direction of Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito. Enter the base by boat and listen as historical details about this remarkable site are shared.
Afterward, visit Mamula Prison, a fortress-like former prison reminiscent of "Alcatraz." Built in the 19th century as a military stronghold, it served as a prison during World War II under Italian control. Now abandoned, Mamula has a haunted reputation, with some claiming to have witnessed ghostly phenomena within its walls.
Finish with a stop at the Blue Cave, a natural sea cave famous for its vibrant blue light effect. This mesmerizing effect is caused by sunlight bouncing off the cave's white sandy floor and crystal-clear waters. Accessible only by boat, the Blue Cave features a spacious inner chamber with deep blue waters and smooth, glistening walls. Enjoy a 30-minute stop here to swim, relax, and soak up the beauty of this unique natural marvel.
