Private From Herceg Novi, 4h 30min

Bay of Kotor Private Boat Tour from Herceg Novi (4h 30min) runs through Montenegro Wild Boat. Rated 4.9 across 31 reviews. Runs 4 h 30 min. From $658.

Overview

This private half-day trip from Herceg Novi packs the two headline stops of the Bay of Kotor into four and a half hours on the water with Montenegro Wild Boat. Only your own group is on board. The boat departs from Šetalište Pet Danica in Herceg Novi, across from the restaurant Stanica Škver, and returns to the same spot at the end.

The route calls first at Kotor Old Town, where you get an hour ashore to wander before the boat continues to Perast for another hour. A short final stop of 20 minutes at Our Lady of the Rocks rounds things out, with the Island of Saint George passed by on the way. Entry tickets for Kotor's sights and for Our Lady of the Rocks are not part of the price, while Perast itself is free to explore.

On board there is a bimini sunshade, seat cushions, a shower, a fridge, a table and bottled water, plus music connectivity over bluetooth, USB or aux. Hotel pickup is included as arranged at booking. The trip suits most travellers, though the listing advises against it for anyone with back problems, pregnant travellers, and it is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points help this half-day run smoothly, from what the boat already carries to what you need to sort out yourself.

• Entry fees. Admission for Kotor Old Town sights and for Our Lady of the Rocks is not included. Perast itself costs nothing to walk around. Budget for the two paid stops separately.
• Private group. Only your group participates, so the pace at each stop is largely your own within the fixed time at each place. The hour in Kotor and the hour in Perast give room for a relaxed wander.
• On board. The listing confirms seat cushions, a bimini sunshade, a shower, a fridge, a table and bottled water. There is WiFi, a 12V jack and music playback via bluetooth, USB, aux or radio, so bring a playlist if that matters to you.
• Getting there. Hotel pickup is included as detailed at booking. The departure point itself sits at 46 Šetalište Pet Danica, across from the Stanica Škver restaurant, and the tour ends back at the same place.
• With children. Life jackets in children's sizes are supplied. Infants must sit on laps, and pushchairs are accessible on the activity, so families with small kids are catered for.
• Confirmation timing. Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, according to the listing. Book with that window in mind if you are tying the trip to a tight holiday schedule.

Common issues. The listing flags real limits worth knowing. The boat is not wheelchair accessible, and the trip is not recommended for travellers with back problems or pregnant travellers. Anyone with heart problems or other serious medical conditions is advised against joining. Confirmation is not instant either, as it can take up to 48 hours and depends on availability. The Our Lady of the Rocks admission and Kotor Old Town tickets are extra, so the headline price does not cover everything you might spend on the day.
