When Does the Tour Run and Where Does It Depart From?
The Kotor Cruise departs daily from May 1st through mid-October. It is designed as a boat tour from Kotor but includes pick-up options from Budva, Tivat, and Herceg Novi — so you do not need to be staying in Kotor to join.
Season & Departures
Daily departures from early May to mid-October. Pick-up from Budva, Tivat, and Herceg Novi available. Book in advance during July and August — the tour fills quickly in peak season.
What to Expect on the Kotor Boat Trip
This tour is a combination of natural wonders, maritime history, and time on the water. As the boat departs, Kotor’s Old Town appears behind you framed by mountains and the Adriatic — the kind of view that makes the first few minutes feel worth the trip on their own.
Guests swimming into the Blue Cave — the boat stays outside to protect the water quality
Our Lady of the Rocks
A man-made island near Perast built by sailors who dropped stones into the sea each time they returned safely from a voyage. The church and museum on the island hold centuries of maritime offerings. One of the must-see places in Montenegro.
The Blue Cave
Only accessible by boat. Sunlight enters through an underwater opening and reflects off the white sand floor, filling the cave with a deep blue glow. You swim in — the boat stays outside. Snorkelling gear is provided. Most guests say this is the highlight of the day.
Yugoslav Submarine Tunnels
Tunnels carved into the rock during the Cold War to conceal entire submarines from the Yugoslav Navy. Massive, dimly lit, and unexpectedly atmospheric — a sharp contrast to the natural beauty of the rest of the tour.
Porto Montenegro, Tivat
Lunch stop at the luxury marina in Tivat. Time to eat, walk around, and take a break from the water before the return through the bay.
Swimming Stops
Multiple swim stops throughout the day in spots only reachable by boat. Essential on a hot summer day — and one of the things guests consistently mention as a favourite part of the tour.
“From the shimmering waters of the Blue Cave to the timeless charm of Perast — this tour covers the Bay of Kotor the way it deserves to be seen. From the water.”

Why This Tour Over Other Montenegro Boat Trips
Visin is a custom-made boat — not a repurposed ferry or a shared transfer vessel. The tour is built around the experience of being on the water, not just getting from point A to point B. Guides share the history and stories of each stop as you pass, so the context builds throughout the day rather than arriving all at once at a single landmark.
A sunny day on the water — the bay looks different every hour
Diving in the Blue Cave — snorkelling gear is provided on board
Swim stops are part of the tour — jumping from the upper deck is optional but popular
