From Dubrovnik: Montenegro Boat Tour from Perast to Kotor - Early pickup and the road through Konavle Valley

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,084 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $68Our pick

Review of the Dubrovnik to Montenegro boat tour, with Kotor, Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, border tips, timing, and value.

“This day trip from Dubrovnik through Perast to Kotor was so much fun! Our guide was very helpful and engaging and explained how the day would go crossing the borders at Montenegro with the newly implemented entry/exit system. Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and Kotor were impressive and beautiful in their own right and we had more than enough time in each location. Definitely inspired a return trip to explore more of this beautiful country. Special thanks to the driver as well for their hard work on the day! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 would definitely recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Dubrovnik.”

Review of Kingfisher’s 3-hour Skadar Lake boat tour to Kom Monastery, with wine, wildlife, frescoes, swimming, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Would highly recommend this tour. We were a party of 6 (including kids and grandparents) and had a private boat with a brilliant guide who was knowledgeable - just a young student who told us all about the birds, history and was so patient when we overran in time as we loved jumping in the lake so much at the end! Loved the local wine and breakfast doughnuts too! Great value for 3 hours.”

Review of Kotor’s Blue Cave boat tour, with Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, submarine tunnels, Mamula Fortress, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“45 min ride each way to get to the destination. The sea was rough enough to cause back discomfort, as we bounced through the waves, all the while having to listen to loud techno rock music selected by our driver, who spoke little English. No water was offered to drink, and no safety instructions were given. A tape recording of information about the sites was used rather than hearing it from our driver. We also had to stop for refueling, which added extra time to the tour. The driver allowed some of the passengers to drive the boat, which I felt was not safe.”

We stopped at the submarine caves on the way back. It’s a beautiful location & I would highly recommend Jovan & this trip”
