Excellent afternoon...
Excellent afternoon excursion. Wonderful Experience on the Adriatic Sea with the wind in your hair. Unfortunately the group made a majority decision not to swim in the blue cave and to go to a nearby beach instead. This was personally very disappointing as that was to be the highlight of my day out.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! 🙏 We’re glad you enjoyed the afternoon on the Adriatic and the overall experience. We’re sorry the group decision meant you couldn’t swim at the Blue Cave as hoped. We always try to make the experience enjoyable for everyone on board while respecting the group’s preference. 🌊💙

One of the highlights of our trip!
This was an incredible experience. Our boat captain Luca was excellent, and made the best experience possible for us. He was very knowledgeable about the sights and surroundings and advised us on things to do at each stop. We loved being able to jump into the cool Adriatic sea at the entrance of the blue cave and enjoy swimming in and out of the cave. Thanks for an absolutely wonderful day. We would love to be able to return to Montenegro and do this exact experience again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredible review! 🙏 We’re thrilled Luca made your day so special with his knowledge, advice, and great atmosphere on board. We’re especially happy you enjoyed the swimming and beautiful Adriatic waters. We’d love to welcome you back to Montenegro for another adventure! 🌊💙

Best Boat Day
Had such a fun day out on the boat. This really covered the main things to see in the Bay for a reasonable price. Small group was great, the drinks included was a nice touch. Our guide Luka was amazing. Played great music, explained things we passed, and made sure we had a fun day. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H cost?
+
Prices start at $53 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.
Is Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 117 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H?
+
Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best from Kotor: Blue Cave, Swimming & Old Town Perast 4H start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

When is the best time to visit Kotor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kotor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
