Great boat ride, great sites!
SeaDog tours did a fantastic job with communication to let us know the details of the excursion as well as the pickup point. Maria met us at the pickup point and managed to get all seven of us on the same boat. Our boat operator, Philip, was very personable and pleasant and did a wonderful job of operating the boat and explaining all of the sites. He managed to maneuver the boat carefully into the submarine tunnel as well as the Blue cave, where some of our group had a wonderful time swimming. The sights on this tour are absolutely amazing. Both Maria and Phillip speak outstanding English and I would highly recommend their excursion to anyone!

Beautiful vistas, and great tour
Don’t be afraid of the speedboat, it gives an amazing ride. Our tour guide was great. Because the boat Is small, you get up close and personal in the caves. We had a beautiful sunny day went in the morning and it couldn’t have been better.

Speedboat Blue Caves Bliss 😊❤️
This trip was the highlight of our Cruise! It was so fun and the young guy on Boka Bliss tours was very nice and fun. The Blue Caves were beautiful and even though we didn’t go swimming you still see A LOt. Go on this so nice. The church tour was also very nice! For our cruise we had to be tendered in so give your a hour before your tour to get there. Also once off tender walk past the big group crowds and go to the park where you see all the boats waiting. ( right across from tender). We almost missed our ride because we got caught up in all the group tours crowds.

Blue Cave, Mamula Island, Submarine Pens and Our Lady of the Rock
The tour operator confirmed our reservation and somehow the system changed to a reservation for 8. Had our tickets for our group of 4. Tour operator would not return phone calls and delayed in returning text messages. The operators of the tour boat were accommodating and provided a good tour. The person on the pier coordinating the tour (Selma) could have done much better. Blue Cave not accessible due to sea state and safety.

We had a fantastic...
We had a fantastic experience on our tour. Our guide and boat captain, Balsy (Not sure of spelling), was professional, courteous and informative as we grilled him with questions. This was our first experience and exposure to Montenegro and we loved it and plan to return.

Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h) cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h) 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, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 700 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h)?
+
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, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h) 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, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h)?
+
Around 245 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, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h) 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, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour, Kotor: Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks Island - Every 2 Hours. 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.
