Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

As you set off in the speedboat, the first thing you'll notice is the breathtaking scenery. Framed by magnificent mountain peaks and calm waters, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the historic town of Kotor, with its ancient stone walls, churches, and narrow streets, as well as the boats gently bobbing on the waves.

2

UNESCO World Heritage Site, Perast. It's an Old Town where you can enjoy many buildings that date back from the time during the Venetian rule. The Baroque architecture; palazzi, churches, and defensive towers are just some of the many aspects that will transport your mind into ancient times.

3
Stop 3

Our Lady of the Rock is one of the two islets off the coast of Perast in Bay of Kotor, Montenegro (the other being Sveti Đorđe Island). It is an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks.

4

Ribarsko Selo – Authentic Coastal Experience on Luštica
During the tour, we visit Ribarsko Selo, a charming seaside spot located between Žanjice and Mirišta beaches on the Luštica Peninsula. Guests can enjoy fresh seafood, local cuisine, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and relaxing in a peaceful natural setting. The village features a seaside restaurant, organic garden, and a small private beach — perfect for a relaxing lunch stop and a refreshing break during the trip.

5

At the Luštica Peninsula, we’ll enter a hidden submarine base that was built for the Yugoslav army during the World Wars. We won’t be walking on the peninsula itself—instead, we’ll enter the base directly by speedboat, through a concealed sea tunnel. This unique and secretive structure was once used to hide and protect submarines, and today it offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s military history.

6

Mamula Island is a small island in the Adriatic Sea, located at the entrance to Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. About 1 km wide and covered in Mediterranean vegetation, it has a rich history. Originally settled by the Illyrians, it later became a Roman military post. In the Middle Ages, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians fortified the island as part of their coastal defense. The large circular fortress seen today was built in the 19th century by General Lazar Mamula. During World War II, the fortress served as a military prison. Today, Mamula Island is a popular tourist attraction known for its striking fortress, natural beauty, and panoramic views of the bay.

Stop 7

The Blue Cave is a natural wonder on the Montenegrin coast, famous for its mesmerizing blue light that illuminates the cave’s interior. This stunning effect is created by sunlight reflecting off the cave’s white pebble floor, casting a magical blue glow. Accessible only by boat, the cave offers visitors the perfect spot to swim in crystal-clear waters and soak in its unique beauty, especially on hot days. The stop lasts about 1 hour, giving you time to swim, listen to music, and fully enjoy this unforgettable experience. The Blue Cave is truly a must-see destination for anyone visiting the region.
