Kotor: Top Rated Blue Cave, Mamula & Lady of the Rocks｜Montenegro

Explore the history and depths of the Bay of Kotor on this tour of Europe’s southernmost fjord.

Your friendly skipper will meet you in Kotor, eager to greet and help you onboard. Enjoy all manner of mesmerizing sights and local wonders as you approach your first stop, the wondrous islet of Our Lady of the Rocks. Before it became the crown jewel of the Bay of Kotor, Our Lady of the Rocks was a single stone. Two fishermen discovered the image of St. Mary chiseled into its side and, to honour the spot where she had been found, threw two stones into the water. Other fishermen and local sailors followed suit, slowly but surely creating the only man-made island of the Bay. The island stands to this day and remains home to Our Lady of the Rocks Church, first established in the 15th century.
As you travel through the majestic fjord of the Adriatic Sea, you’ll get a chance to explore submarine tunnels from the Yugoslavian Socialist period. Although these tunnels have since been abandoned, they are still open to the public. Take a chance to swim inside them during your tour!

From there, you will journey to the “mouth” of the Bay, where Mamula Island stands. Although once home to an Austro-Hungarian prison, it has since transformed into a beautiful island resort. Enjoy the panoramic views of Mamula Island, a uniquely entertaining and historical stop.

You will find we have saved the best for last, though, as you will end your tour in the Blue Cave. So named for its shimmering waters, the first sight of Blue Cave will leave you breathless, as if you had been transported to another world. Enjoy swimming inside the cave’s entrance as you wrap up your tour, an enchanting experience you’ll be sure to remember.
