From Budva to Blue Cave

The Blue Cave is about 1 to 1.5 hours by boat from Budva. You’ll cruise past the dramatic coastline, skipping traffic and enjoying open sea views along the way.

Budva is known for its nightlife and sandy beaches, but a boat tour gives you access to sea caves, island forts, and rocky peninsulas. It’s a refreshing change from the crowds and a chance to see Montenegro’s coastal beauty.

When sunlight reflects through the water, the inside of the Blue Cave lights up in a vivid electric blue. You can swim or float inside, with most tours stopping long enough to take it all in, and get that perfect photo.

Tours from Budva often include Mamula Island, the submarine tunnels, and sometimes Our Lady of the Rocks, combining history, and nature in one trip.

Tours include skipper, snorkel gear, and entry to some stops. Just book your seat, show up, and enjoy the ride, perfect for travelers who want ease and spontaneity without missing the highlights.

The star of the show. You’ll enter by boat and get the chance to swim in glowing water caused by sunlight bouncing off the cave floor. It’s a short stop—but one that stays with you.

A 19th-century Austro-Hungarian fortress turned WWII prison. While the island is now being converted into a resort, many tours circle close, giving you striking views and insight into its dramatic history.

Cut into the cliffs during Yugoslavia’s military era, these narrow, dark tunnels were used to hide submarines. Boats glide quietly through them today—an eerie but fascinating reminder of Cold War strategy.

Some longer tours head into Boka Bay for a stop at this floating island chapel. It’s known for its baroque interior, centuries-old paintings, and panoramic views of the surrounding bay.

Budva tours spend more time on the open sea compared to trips from Kotor or Tivat. You’ll get expansive views, salty air, and that open-water thrill as part of the journey.
