Blue Cave Boat Trip
Luminous blue cavern swimming — Montenegro's Adriatic adventure.
The Blue Cave boat trip speeds across the bay to Luštica peninsula — swimming in the ethereal blue-lit cavern and coastal scenery along the way.
Depart from Kotor harbour or marina transfer. Life jackets and swim stops included when sea conditions allow. Weather-dependent — operators monitor forecasts.
Half-day water focus — not combinable with fortress and Perast on standard 8-hour calls. Bring swimwear, towel and dry bag.
Best for repeat Kotor visitors or passengers who prefer boats to baroque towns. First-timers often choose Perast excursion instead.

Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships dock at the Port of Kotor, within walking distance of the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Allow 5–10 minutes on foot to the Sea Gate or 2–3 minutes by taxi. The Bay of Kotor arrival is one of Europe's most spectacular — plan to be on deck. Confirm your all-aboard time and keep a 60–90 minute buffer before departure.
