What To Expect
Mamula Fortress
The Mamula Fortress was built in 1853. At this time, Montenegro was under Austro-Hungarian rule. The fortress is named after the Austro-Hungarian general, Lazarus von Mamula. who commissioned the construction of the building. Mamula lays between two other fortifications from the same period – fort Arza, Luštica and Cape Ostro on the opposite side. The spot was chosen for its strategic position at the very entrance to the bay, but the story of Mamula didn’t end there. During both world wars, it was used as a prison due to its isolated position. The location gained a notorious reputation during World World 2, when the army of Benito Mussolini turned it into a concentration camp. Stories of unspeakable horrors can still be heard today. After this chapter in its history, the island and the fortification remained deserted for many years. Nowadays, Mamula is set to become a tourist resort; a project met with an ambiguous response from the locals due to the gloomy history of the place.
The Blue Cave is the largest of many sea caves on Lustica Peninsula. It’s called the Blue Cave because the way the light hits the sandy bottom and reflects up through the water makes the whole cave look blue. It’s very beautiful and it’s a lucky quirk because almost all of the coast here is rocky, not sandy. You can see the blue light shining out of the cave when you approach, but to really see it you’ve got to go inside and get underwater. Don’t forget your snorkel or goggles when you come here!

5.00Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to see unforgettable Montenegro from the sea. The ride was smooth, and we were allowed to sit on the bow of the boat, which allowed us to fully enjoy the views. I'd like to express my special thanks to Kristian – he not only kindly answered our questions about the organization but also helped me and my friends in a difficult situation by finding a taxi for us. I highly recommend this company and this trip!
Perast half day.

5.00Thank you Kristian, for suggesting the tour and for your hospitality in ensuring I reached the right place and you looked after my suitcase while I was gone. The tour was a fab way to spend the morning. The water got quite choppy and the right call was made regarding the blue cave but Perast was lovely to visit and the Our Lady’s church. Thank you.

5.00It was windy, so we got a little cold. But the water inside the cave was beautiful; there were people in a few boats waiting to swim.
Great experience! Reliable tour operators.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Golden wave speedboat tours in Kotor. The company is reliable; stay true to their word/commitment on their tours. The speedboat skipper was Drago, who is a very nice gentleman; patient and kind. The water was too cold, so we could not go swimming. But going on the tour during winter allowed for a small group of 8 tourists, enough time to see the blue cave, with on-time departure and arrival into Kotor. I recommend them with no reservations. Thank you, Golden wave for making the boat trip, which allows you to see the spectacular Boka Bay from a different perspective, memorable!

Unforgettable Boka Bay Adventure with the Best Skipper Ever!

5.00We had the most unforgettable boat ride through the stunning Bay of Kotor! Everything was perfectly organized, and our skipper, Igor, made the experience absolutely exceptional. His energy, knowledge, and passion for the area turned a beautiful trip into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We explored the best spots in the bay, stopped at hidden gems, and learned so much about the history and culture of this breathtaking place thanks to Igor’s engaging stories. The highlight? Jumping into the crystal-clear water over and over again – we just couldn’t get enough! If you’re visiting Boka, don’t miss this experience – and if you can, make sure Igor is your skipper. He will turn a simple boat ride into a magical memory you’ll cherish forever!
