What To Expect
Bay of Kotor
Near a small village called Rose, there are three most impressive Submarine Tunnels which were built by the Yugoslav Army. The outside of the opening is designed and covered by fake rocks so they would not be invisible to satellites or spy planes. When we say this tunnel is the best hidden sight in Montenegro, we mean it literally. Built during the 1970s by the Yugoslav Navy, this tunnel was designed to stealthily host submarines and small ships. The entrance features a peculiar construction covered with fake rocks designed to make the spot invisible to unsuspecting eyes. The tunnel is a part of a fascinating and little-known series of similar tunnels and stealth locations built by the Yugoslav Army along the coasts of Montenegro and Croatia. Two smaller tunnels are located nearby, but the one near Rose is the largest, the most interesting to explore, and actually the only one that used to host submarines.
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.

Thrilling boat tour to the blue caves

5.00A thrilling ride with the speedboat out of the bay of Kotor to the Blue Caves along the Adriatic coast. There, one could also jump into the water and swim a lap. The young boat captain was very friendly and explained a lot along the way, also answering questions in English. On the return trip, we stopped at the small island "Lady of the Rock" to visit the museum (entrance included). After almost 3 hours, we were back. I can only recommend this tour. It was a lot of fun. Ticket for adults: 46 €.

5.00Alex gave us a fantastic tour of the bay! He was lovely to be with , and generously shared his knowledge and passion for the area (which is stunning and interesting). We never felt rushed, and even had a fantastic swim by the Blue Cave. Would Definitely recommend!!!

5.00We took a private boat tour for four people. I highly recommend sailing with the skipper Mikhaelo — he was professional and really nice, took us to beautiful places, and explained everything in an interesting way. It was a lot of fun, and I recommend taking the 3-hour tour.🤗
Exceptional experience

5.00We left our tender and hadn’t organised our trip for the day. We went with the private tour so we didn’t have to wait for the next group. Alex was a great skipper and was very knowledgeable. Felt we got good value this way.
