In the Middle Ages, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians fortified the island as part of their coastal defense.

Wonderful day on the water
Excellent tour! Skipper Tomislov was wonderful. Took us to all of the scheduled places and shared history, but in a way that kept it feeling private and not with tons of other tourists. Had an amazing lunch at a local oyster/mussel farm. Thank you for a fabulous day!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We're delighted to hear you had such a fantastic day with us. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Tomislav—he'll be thrilled to hear them! It's great that you enjoyed both the tour and the lunch at the local oyster and mussel farm. We hope to welcome you back to the Bay of Kotor again soon! 🚤🇲🇪

The most perfect day 🩵
Excellent communication prior to our planned trip, clear instructions and met on time. Tom our ‘captain’ was excellent at the helm and knowledgable when sharing information about our trip in good English. He shared local knowledge that added to the enjoyment of our trip, nothing felt rushed, plenty of time to explore all stop offs and for the swims , lunch was fabulous, beautiful location and fresh fish. We would definitely do this trip again and would recommend. Thank you for the best day of our holiday. 🌊 🚤 🏊

Perfect day on the water
We went out with a group of 5 adult family members for 6 hours and had a great time. Tomoslav, our skipper, had good suggestions, was extremely flexible to do any of the things we wanted, and very nice. Beforehand, their communication was excellent. Because parking in Kotor is difficult, they volunteered to pick us up at a dock that was only a few minute walk from the apartment we stayed in, which was so convenient and helpful. Although they had good looking suggestions for lunch spots, we opted to bring our own lunch and Tomoslav found some additional pretty spots for us to do more swimming instead, which was perfect given the super hot weather that day.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming cost?
+
Prices start at $744 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 Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming?
+
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 Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming?
+
Around 3 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private All Day Tour & Blue Cave swimming 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.
