    Great trip, wish we had booked a longer one

    Really great trip round the bay to see the Blue cave and other sites. Guide was great and very knowledgeable. Kids really enjoyed it and said they wished we’d been on it longer .

    Great Family experience

    I would totally recommend Montenegro Wild Boat. Booking was so easy, picked up from our hotel and saw some amazing sights and dropped back at our hotel. Nikola was a great captain. He let us know the history of the bay and wider country. It was a fantastic 2 hours that my whole family enjoyed( including 2 teenagers)

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great time with us. We hope to welcome you back to Montenegro again!

    Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $412 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 Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 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 Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h)?

    +

    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 Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h)?

    +

    Around 10 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) 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, Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h). 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.

    What is included in Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h)?

    +

    Included: Fridge; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; Bimini (sunshade); and Life jackets (including for children). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 8 listed pickup locations in and around Kotor.

    What languages is Blue Cave Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (2h) offered in?

    +
