Highlights

Bay of Kotor - We start with a captivating trip along the waters of Kotor Bay, enabling our guests to examine its magnificent coastline, which is adorned with multiple ancient fishermen villages, lavishing vegetation, and other natural and architectural wonders.
Our Lady of the Rocks - First stop, a 20-minute visit to the legendary island Our Lady of the Rocks. This is a man-made islet, built upon a crag that bore the icon of the Holy Mother Mary, and it houses a church that’s been built by seafarers and other locals to honor the graceful Mother Mary. It is a place where visitors can listen to the mystical story about the island’s genesis, as well as examine the many paintings, votives, and other art pieces inside the museum, attached to the church.
Tivat Municipality - After we pass through the strait of Verige, we enter Tivat Bay and enjoy in its breath-taking views.

On our way, we are stopping at the ex-submarine military base which description we’ll leave up to you.

Mamula Fortress - The very exit of the Bay of Kotor is guarded by the haunting Mamula, a fortified island that’s full of gruesome stories from past events like World War I & II.
Blue Grotto - The whole adventure gets wrapped up with a nice dip inside the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon that’s been created by waves crashing for thousands of years at the Lustica peninsula. The name derives from the whole ambiance, created by iridescent lightning that manifests itself on the water due to the Sun’s radiance through small cave cracks.
