If you are cruising avoid this excursion at all costs
The day before our excursion was contacted by the company there would be no one to reach Kotor from Bar. They would not give a later time nor would the refund any of our 270.00. Was the worst experience I have ever had with any tour.
Response from the operator: Joseph, we spoke for the first time the morning of the tour. Please don't fib. We have two pick up points, one in Kotor and one in Tivat. Bar is 70km away. We don't pick up in Bar. We did not refuse to take you later. We told you the taxi was probably €150 in each direction and you made a decision not to come. I offered you credit if you are ever in the area. I think you need to handle your frustration (I empathize) a bit more philosophically, and don't blame us for what was your simple mistake.

Just do it
Enjoyed brief tour of Montenegro on the way to snorkeling site. Water fairly calm and clear. Kayak sturdy and stable. Destinations worthwhile.

Beautiful Caves - Friendly Host
5*- A great day. Armando was a great host who made you feel like a friend. The trip went ahead even though it was a small group. I'm a 'nervous sea snorkler,' however, Armando and the locations made me feel safe and I was happy to achieve this experience. The caves were beautiful and it was great to meet new people.

Armando is the best!
The Blue Cave Kayak experience was amazing. Our guide Armando was the best guide ever! We had originally planned to do the blue Cave experience on a wednesday but when we arrived at the starting point the sea was too rough and Armando said it wasn't safe so he said we could reschedule at no extra cost but he didn't want us to miss out so took us to another location and gave us a stand up paddle board experience as well. When we finally did the blue cave experience a few days later we were not disappointed. Armando made sure we had the best experience. He made our holiday and gave us many local restaurant recommendations too. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic day out on the water
It was a very nice Tour with the funny Guide Amando. Excellent guide who knows the area well. Very generous with the time, we could do a lot of swimming and snorkeling. Shout out to Riley too who also brought fun to the trip.

Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat cost?
+
Prices start at $136 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 Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 97 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat?
+
Around 34 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Blue Cave Kayak & Snorkel Adventure from Kotor / Tivat 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?
+
On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. 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.
