Caves, Coastlines & Hidden History

The Blue Cave is only about 30–40 minutes by boat from Tivat. No long drives or transfers –just hop on a boat and you’re cruising along Montenegro’s coast in no time.

Tivat may be known for its marinas and calm bay views, but a boat tour opens up another side—rugged cliffs, open sea, and dramatic island fortresses. It’s a chance to see the wild Adriatic without straying far from the city.

When sunlight hits the water just right, the Blue Cave glows electric blue. Tours let you swim or float inside, offering one of the most photogenic experiences on the Montenegrin coast.

Blue Cave tours from Tivat often include Mamula Island, Cold War-era submarine tunnels, and Our Lady of the Rocks, adding sightseeing to your cruise itinerary.

Tours last about 8 hours, giving you the full experience without using up your entire day. Perfect if you're working around a travel schedule or just want a relaxed afternoon at sea, and you’ll be back to Tivat by dinner time!
