5.00Did exactly as described, large group (like 20) but still enjoyable. The crew were great, so friendly and really made the experience. Would have been good for more swimming time and less time at the church.

5.00If you're considering The Grand Boka Tour – Blue Cave, Lady of the Rocks, Submarine Base out of Kotor, stop debating and book it. Our group of 12 had an absolutely phenomenal experience, and Captain Darvin turned what could have been a great tour into one we'll be talking about for years. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Darvin created an atmosphere that felt equal parts adventure, local insight, and unforgettable fun. Every stop seemed more impressive than the last—the surreal Blue Cave waters, the fascinating history around the submarine base, and the breathtaking beauty of Lady of the Rocks. The scenery throughout Boka Bay is stunning, but the real differentiator was how the experience was delivered. Traveling with a group of 12 can sometimes be challenging, but Darvin made it effortless. Everyone—from the most adventurous to the most laid-back in our crew—had an exceedingly wonderful time. He kept the energy high, made everyone feel included, and somehow balanced professionalism with the feeling that we were all out with an old friend who happened to know every hidden gem in Montenegro. And one final note: "I'm on a Boat" took on an entirely new meaning during this tour. Somewhere between the incredible views, music, laughter from our group, and the perfect vibe on board, it became less of a song lyric and more of a declaration. This wasn’t just a boat tour. It became one of the defining highlights of our trip. Highly recommend Captain Darvin and The Grand Boka Tour to anyone visiting Kotor.

5.00The Tour coördinator Sarah was informative, timely. Then the captain and his partner were friendly, kind, cheery, played perfect songs. We will remember 007 everything we cross a submarine tunnel now. The other group members were timely and positive, together it was a good trip. Due to heavy waves, we couldn't go through Blue waves which was a bummer. But hey, the old town of Perast as an alternative was not bad either. Live and recommend this to everyone.

5.00Through Meine-Landausflüge.de we booked the boat tour to Perast and the island of Our Lady on the Rocks for two hours as part of our cruise through the Adriatic Sea. With a total of six people we went by speedboat through the Bay of Kotor. A great "ride." It was a lot of fun. Definitely recommended.
