Considered the crown jewel of the Bay of Kotor, this island is the only man-made one in the Bay. Long ago, two fishermen found an icon of St. Mary chiseled on the side of a rock. Local sailors and fishermen decided to throw rocks where the Lady had been found thereafter to honour the memory of St. Mary. The rocks soon became an island, where Our Lady of the Rocks Church, first established in the 15th century, still stands today. Enjoy the extravagant beauty of the Bay of Kotor as you travel to your next stop, a series of abandoned submarine tunnels. Active throughout the Yugoslavian Socialist period, the tunnels have since fallen out of use, though they remain open to the public. You will have the rare opportunity to explore this piece of history up close, including a chance to swim inside.

From there, you will journey to the “mouth” of the Bay, where Mamula Island stands. Although it used to be an Austro-Hungarian prison, it has since transformed into a beautiful island resort. Enjoy the panoramic view of Mamula Island, a uniquely entertaining and historical stop.

You will find we have saved the best for last, though, as you will end your tour in the Blue Cave. So named for its shimmering waters, the first sight of Blue Cave will leave you breathless, as if you had been transported to another world. Enjoy swimming inside the cave’s entrance as you wrap up your tour, an enchanting experience you’ll be sure to remember.

This trip is sure to be an unforgettable time, and a key part of your trip to Montenegro. So, don’t miss your opportunity to book now for this truly special treat!

Your first stop is the crown jewel of the Bay of Kotor: the beautiful islet of Our Lady of the
Rocks. The only man-made island in the Bay, Our Lady of the Rocks was so dubbed by two
fishermen after they found an icon of St. Mary chiseled on the side of a rock. From then on, to
honour St. Mary, local sailors and fishermen made a vow to throw rocks where the Lady had
been found. The rocks soon grew into an island, which became home to Our Lady of the Rocks
Church in the 15th century.

Once you are done touring the island, you will then travel to a submarine tunnel from the
Yugoslavian Socialist period. Although this tunnel has since been abandoned, it is still open to
the public, and you will have the rare opportunity to explore this piece of history up close. You
