What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the Blue Cave tours for their organization, exciting speedboat rides, and the magical experience of swimming in the cave's unique blue light. The inclusion of stops at submarine tunnels and Our Lady of the Rocks adds significant value. While generally positive, some mention that tours can be crowded during peak season.
"The Blue Cave tour with Sea Stars was very well organised and run. We booked on short notice and were accommodated and on a fast speedboat within the hour. The boat was comfortable and we quickly arrived at the Blue Cave. It was great fun swimming in the cave and another adjacent one. We then headed back around towards Kotor and into the submarine tunnel which was really interesting and fun. Then a last stop at Our Lady of the Rocks before arriving back right on the advertised 3 hour mark. I would highly recommend."

"We had an amazing time on the speedboat!
We took a 3 hour ride to the blue cave and it was such a fun experience. We jumped off the boat to the water, they pause for 20-30 minutes. 10/10 Summer activity
I recommend the VIP course it’s definitely worth the money."

"There are loads of companies offering boat tours but we are so happy to have found this one. The very good reviews helped us to make our choice and we weren't disappointed at all.
The staff is taking care of their customers, the weather wasn't really great today very windy and they were really honest with us about the conditions etc....we really appreciated that! They are not just there to sell cruises and make money.
The captain was also very kind, we had a great time and we could have a bigger boat than initially scheduled which was better.
Thank you again!!"
