    Disappointed

    Did not stick to the itinerary at all. Our first stop was Perast and that was supposed to be a pass by. We completely missed Lady of the Rock and our boat operator said nothing. He rushed the entire time. We didn't have 30 mins of swim time either. We've done this tour before and it went much smoother.

    Awesome boat ride

    Our boat driver was awesome! He navigated choppy, crowded waters very well. He also made everyone on the boat change places so those of us in front did not continue to burn in the sun. They also gave is bottled water which was nice on a hot day. He did great in the cave & made sure we had a safe space to swim.

    Worst tour ever

    The trip itself was beautiful, but the boat was traveling at a very high speed, and the captain showed little concern for the passengers’ safety. He did not take the waves into consideration, which resulted in passengers experiencing back pain, and one passenger even suffered an elbow fracture. Furthermore, two of the passengers got into an argument with the captain because of his handling of the situation. Instead of responding professionally, the captain was extremely rude and responded to them in a disrespectful and confrontational manner.

    Response from the operator: All our Skippers are highly experienced and well trained professionals. Sometimes weather can get rough at sea and for our guests it may seem that our Staff is not taking care however most of them do not know sea and its conditions and how to deal.with waves and avoid splashes on the boat. Particular guest was extreamely rude shouting bad words on our Staff and not folowing their instructions to sit down and to take proper place on the boat. He treated our Captain and his mate in really bad manner probably under influence of alcohol. No one was injured and our Captain spoke with each of them in person after the Tour so the statment is incorect and malicious. Wish we did not accept this person on board since he came in bad temper and probably intoxicated.

    Do not book if porting in Bar

    Lack of communication and poor instructions had us miss this excursion. Which is sad because it was the excursion we were mostly looking forward to. The cruise ship doesn’t port near where the tour guide pick up location is. And when i mentioned the cruise ship I was on not once did they explain that we would need to take a 1.5/2hr car ride to the meeting location. Even if i got off the boat early there wasn’t ever enough time to make it. Also, found it rude that i was hung up on once i told the person the issue.

    Response from the operator: We can not know schedule of your Cruise or your plans. We have guests arriving from Bar. They booked the Tour without checking if they can attend it. A day before we send them clear instructions where are our Boats and how to find us. We are sorry they jave missed the Tour but in no way this was our fault.

    Beautiful scenery, fun but painful speedboat ride!!

    Well organised with friendly and experienced operator in Kotor, who spoke excellent English. The speed boat was a great experience and the scenery of Montenegro and Croatia was beautiful, the speedboat itself looked new and was a good size with 8 on-board. My gosh though, it's a very rough ride. I don't know if it was just our crew of two but it felt very unsafe at times. If you've got a bad back definitely don't ride, go for a larger boat instead. The two crew members were friendly and seemed experienced but safety didn't seem to be the highest priority with both constantly on their phones. We would have liked to actually swam in the blue cave with our younger daughter (9) who's a good swimmer but it was too busy and the alternative cave in open sea was way to choppy even for me (experienced sea swimmer) so unfortunately she didn't get the opportunity to swim. It would have helped if they had provided life jackets or floats like on the many other boat trips we've been in in France, Greece, Spain, Turkey and The Cayman Islands. Overall it was a great experience in a stunning location, but we wouldn't do it again. Montenegro you really do need to up your game when it comes to safety!!

    Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.

    How much does Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 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 Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 69 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 Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience?

    +

    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 Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience?

    +

    Around 24 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Cave & Bay of Kotor Speedboat Tour – Small Group Experience 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.

    What are the best things to do in Kotor?

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    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.
