Description

Explore Boka Bay and all of its wonders on a Private boat tour. Delight yourself with a swim at the world-famous Blue Cave and visit Our Lady of the Rocks island to explore its church and museum.
Tour departs in front of Kotor Old Town and during 45 min ride provides splendid Panoramic views of the bay. On the way, we will pass near some recognizable landmarks like St. Mateus church and Temple of Our Lady.

After about 45 min ride we will reach Famous BLUE CAVE for 30 min break including swimming and a photo session. Blue Cave is a natural cave with two entrances that was created at the bottom of 100-meter cliff as a result of an impact of sea waves on the porous rocks of Luštica peninsula over thousands of years. Through the entrance sunlight enters its interior and wraps around the surface of the water making great shades of blue by which cave got its name. Swimming inside the cave is an unforgettable experience.

On the way back we will make panoramic views of Mamula – a natural island on the entrance to Boka Bay wherein 1852 a Fortress was built by the Austrian navy. Later, during First and Second World Wars it was used as Notorious Prison and now it is converted to 5 Star resort.

Next stop is at former military Submarine tunnels used during Second World War for hiding and repairing submarines.

Tour continues with 30 min visit of LADY OF THE ROCK Island – an artificial island made in XV century by local sailors in honor of Our Lady for safe return from their trips. Present Church was built by Venetians in 1630 and it houses numerous works of art by famous local painter Tripo Kokolja as well as numerous silver and gold plates – gifts from seamen for their safe passages. Special curiosity is a unique tapestry hand-made by Jacinta Kunic-Mijovic for over 25 years. The tapestry was partially made from her own hair – gold in youth and silver in old.
