First, you'll be riding through stunning Elaphiti Channel and in about 40 minutes, you'll reach sandy beach Šunj on the island of Lopud.

It's beautiful to walk around and discover the island. Enjoy local life for a while, little bays and traditional boats in the port.

On your way to Koločep you will stop in Sikirica Bay for swimming. It's hard to locate this bay on the map and that's why it's even more special. You can snorkel there or even use sea scooter!

Kotor: Private Speed Boat Tour to Blue Cave with Swim Time

7. Kotor: Private Speed Boat Tour to Blue Cave with Swim Time

A speedboat ride, wind in your hair, the open sea, beautiful beaches, and exciting places to visit are only a brief description of what's to come. We begin our adventure on a speedboat starting in Kotor and then make our way towards the magnificent islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, just in front of the ancient city of Perast. After a walk around the islet, we travel by the open sea towards the Blue cave and take a quick stop to visit an old submarine base. We then take a stroll around Mamula island, surrounded by walls of an old Austro-Hungarian fortress from the 14 century which was used as a prison in both the First and Second World Wars. The next destination is the Blue cave, an impressive natural landmark with about 300 m2. The cave has two entrances that can be accessed by boats. It got its name because the sunlight refracts at just the right angle so that the water looks like it's shining from below. Dive, bathe in the blue light, and enjoy the warm and crystal clear water. For real experience of the cave, we recommend swimming from the boat and using snorkeling masks to explore the world beneath the surface of the water. For unsecure swimmers, we will provide life jackets.
