Blue Cave Montenegro
Blue Cave Montenegro – A Hidden Treasure of the Adriatic
On the southwestern coast of the Luštica Peninsula lies one of Montenegro’s most stunning natural wonders – the Blue Cave (Blue Grotto). This impressive sea cave, known for its mesmerizing light effects, captivates everyone who embarks on a boat adventure in the Bay of Kotor.
The best way to experience it is by booking a Blue Cave boat tour, which takes you along the untouched coastline and crystal-clear waters. When the sun’s rays penetrate the water and reflect off the cave’s bottom, the entire interior glows in hypnotic blue tones, a sight you will never forget.
Tours often include a visit to Mamula Island, a mysterious fortress surrounded by turquoise waters. You may even spot dolphins occasionally following boats as they cruise through the Bay of Kotor.
When you reach the cave, dive into the refreshing water and explore the underwater world. Swimming here is completely safe, but if you’re not a confident swimmer, guides will provide a life vest for extra security. If you seek more luxury, greater privacy, and the freedom to explore this natural wonder at your own pace, choose an exclusive private tour to the Blue Cave.
