Detailed itinerary

This private tour with a high-class speedboat will reveal to you the most beautiful places located at the entrance to Boka Bay.

Our professional skipper-guide will pick you up at the agreed dock closest to your hotel, from where you will embark on an unforgettable adventure.

The first place we will pay special attention to is the Mamula Fortress, located on an island just outside the bay.

Once a guarding fortress and a prison, a luxury hotel resort keeps secrets and reveals many fascinating stories.

Stop 2

After the story of Mamula, we continue driving to the next point, which is the place for our first swimming break.

A true wonder of nature and one of the biggest attractions in Montenegro, the Blue Cave, awaits us with its crystal blue color, created due to the sun's rays reflecting off its walls.

After swimming and taking photos, we proceed to our next point, closer to the entrance to the bay, called Miriste lagoon.

Guarded by Fort Arza, it is considered the place with the cleanest water in the entire bay, which is visible at first sight.

We will stay here a little longer to enjoy the sounds and smells of nature, as well as the taste of homemade wine made especially for you.

Moreover, you will have the opportunity to snorkel and explore the underwater world close to the Zanjic island.

We continue the tour by returning to the bay, where we will stop to hear the story of a submarine tunnel - one of only three in all of Montenegro.

The tunnel stretches for a hundred meters and is about ten meters wide, and the depth of the sea in it is from 3.5 to more than five meters.

After an exciting story about this hidden giant, we will pass by a charming place called Rose and return to the place of departure.
