Croatia · KOTOR & MONTENEGRO DAY TRIPS
Good kotor & montenegro day trips fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
11-hour Dubrovnik day trip to Perast, optional Our Lady of the Rocks, and Kotor, with A/C rides and Bay of Kotor views.
“amazing! The tour guide was AWESOME! Everything was wonderful and I highly recommend whilst visiting Dubrovnik! 🩷”
A long, scenic Montenegro day trip from Dubrovnik, with a boat cruise through Kotor Bay, plus guided Kotor and Perast.
“It was good plus the weather was sunny. However, there was a wedding going on so we cannot go inside the church. Plus there is only a likited time. But anyways, its all good :)”
Spend a full day driving from Dubrovnik into Montenegro, with stops in Perast and Kotor, plus optional Our Lady of the Rocks by boat.
“Negative part: I booked option including Perast, Kotor and Budva, but driver/guide only took us 6 people to Perast, Kotor, without visiting Budva (shows 2hours in itinerary). The driver/guide said that he was told only including two places, no Budva, so clearly something within organizing went wrong. It was disappointing. Positive part: visited in January, not crowded, very peaceful, both Perast and Kotor are beautiful. Kotor has 3 hours, if weather and fitness allow, you can climb up Kotor fortress for nice views, normally with entry fee 15 Euro, but during my visit in January, no fee applied. Pick up was arranged in advance via WhatsApp, good communication.”
Full-day Montenegro cruise from Dubrovnik to Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and UNESCO Kotor, with hotel pickup and scenic Bay of Kotor views.
“The day was very well organised, our guide Olya was efficient, informative and funny, driver was Miguel, who was also excellent. Olya swapped the itinerary around to avoid crowds from cruise ships in Kotor and Perast, which worked well. Maria the tour guide on Kotor was very informative This is a long day trip, we were collected at 6.20am with 45mins of pick ups before getting going and didn’t get dropped back until 6.30pm The border controls can be notoriously slow, we were lucky today with 20mins outbound and 40 mins on return, but it can take a lot longer ! The scenery is breathtaking and Kotor quite unique, we…”
Kotor Bay speedboat tour with Blue Cave swim, Mamula WWII story, submarine tunnels, and Our Lady of the Rocks island in 3 hours.
“A great adventure. Our captain switched the swimming and the Blue Grotto so we could be alone in the cave. This allowed us to swim there too. And on the way back, we were lucky enough to be accompanied by a dolphin for a few seconds! The boat was very comfortable and shaded. My fear of the heat (35°C) quickly vanished with the shade and the sea spray. It was actually an excellent choice for this scorching day. Je recommande vivement !”
Small-group Montenegro day trip from Dubrovnik with early pickup for quiet Perast and Kotor, plus time in Budva to roam.
“Very early morning start, but worth it to get through the boarder crossing with ease. Andrew our driver, how do you say, guide was an excellent navigator, even with traffic. First stop was short and enjoyed the second and third stops more, but overall it was worth our visit.”
Early start, small-group van, and Montenegro highlights in one day, with Perast, Kotor’s walls, Budva, plus a Bay ferry ride.
“The trip was fantastic. Starting with Andrew, he was knowledgeable, funny and we had a great laugh (spot the yellow car definitely being a favourite haha); he made the tour awesome. We loved all the locations we visited, especially Kotor. Great trip and fab tour guide/driver ☺️”

Montenegro day trip from Dubrovnik with a short Kotor Bay boat cruise, Perast strolls, and guided Kotor sights with UNESCO walls.
“A brilliant tour from start to finish, highly recommended. Our main host Carmela (my birthday twin) was absolutely amazing and gave us a great information while on board the bus to and from Montenegro. Our guide in Kotar was great too, but a microphone with an ear piece would be great as a very busy place and the you need to stand in a quiet place to get the information delivered. A great tour 10/10”

Full-day Montenegro coast trip from Dubrovnik to Kotor and Perast, with Bay of Kotor views and a boat cruise for $64.
“This trip to Montenegro was amazing and totally worth it! Our guide Davor was an excellent Tour Guide! We love History and he gave us an excellent tour from Dubrovnik to Kotor. The transportation was pristine and safe. We stopped for refreshments at a hip restaurant/bar along the Kotor Bay right before Perast. The view of Kotor Bay was AMAZING from this spot. Perast was also a cute town along the way. The boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks and entry required cash, which sadly we did not cary. Davor was very informative and patient the whole way. He showed us how not to get lost in Kotor.…”
Boats, waterfalls, walls and wine — and the best of each.
