Perast
The single street Old Town of Perast, located in Boka Bay at the edge of the St. Ivan hill, is considered the oldest settlement in Boka Bay as some discovered evidence of Neolithic culture found here dating back to 3500 years BC. Today Perast presents the worldly distinction as an important protected UNESCO world heritage site. The former city of captains and seafarers and today’s recognized luxury tourist destination records life in the town for eight centuries. Its position with the view of the whole Bay, including its two islands 'Our Lady of the Rock' and 'St George', represents a top tourist attraction in Montenegro. Easily reachable by waterway from the Bay of Kotor and Tivat makes it an inevitable tourist spot.

Our Lady of the Rocks
The Island Our Lady of the Rocks, was made as an artificial island, which according to the stories was made by the seaman from Perast and Kotor, who on their big sail boats brought big stones. On the island there is a church. According to a legend, fisherman from Perast, after a shipwreck near the island, have found a icon of the Holy Mother of God with the Christ on a sea rock, so as the customs say they vowed to build a church on the island. They have built the church in 1630. As the island had to be maintained, the seaman continued to bring the stones, so that tradition is alive even today. Dress code notice: Entry to Our Lady of the Rocks is not allowed in swimwear. Both men and women must wear appropriate clothing (covered shoulders and modest-length shorts, skirt, or dress).

Last minute cancellation
We booked the Blue Caves, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks tour through GetYourGuide with Aquaholic Speed Boat Tours on 9 July for a tour on 18 July 2026. We paid in full and received confirmation by email. This was intended to be a special experience for the ten members of my family during a Mediterranean cruise. We were only in Kotor for one day, and the four teenagers in my family were particularly excited about the trip. Unfortunately, at 10.05 pm on the evening before the tour, I received an email advising that it had been cancelled due to bad weather. It was surprising and very disappointing as we were four days into our Mediterranean cruise and had only experienced perfect weather. When we arrived in Kotor the following morning, the weather was sunny and clear, and the sea conditions appeared calm. We also made enquiries in the harbour and found that many other operators were running exactly the same tour with a good marine forecast. Fortunately, we were able to book with another operator at the last minute. The trip with the alternative operator was excellent, the sea remained calm throughout, and we were even able to swim safely near the Blue Caves. The replacement operator gave a thorough safety briefing, operated professionally, and we felt completely safe throughout the excursion. What I cannot understand is why Aquaholic cancelled our tour while other operators were clearly able to run theirs. I have asked GetYourGuide and Aquaholic for an honest explanation, but none has been provided. Without any explanation, it is difficult to understand why our booking was cancelled while their boats appeared to be operating in the area and many other companies were taking passengers on the same route. Our disappointment is not simply that the tour was cancelled, but that we were given no alternative, no meaningful explanation, and were left to make our own arrangements at the last minute. Thanks to another operator, our family still had a wonderful day, but based on our experience I cannot regard Aquaholic Speed Boat Tours as a reliable provider

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour 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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 265 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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour?
+
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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour 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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour?
+
Around 93 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 Kotor: Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks Tour 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 Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, 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.
