The gap between the average ($53.71) and the median ($44) comes from a handful of expensive outliers: day trips from Croatia, the catamaran and the private boat. For a typical boat tour starting in Kotor, think “around $40–45”.

SpeedboatFrom €37

The hull lifts and skims as the speedboat opens up across the bay, grey limestone mountains standing over the water and the breeze pulling at your hair. Ahead are the dark mouths of the old submarine tunnels, then the open Adriatic along the Luštica coast. From the Tivat side, the Blue Cave and submarine tunnel speedboat tour gets you out there quickly.

Short trips to Perast and the island: from $28

The cheapest way to reach Our Lady of the Rocks on a tour is a 1.5–2 hour speedboat from Kotor. The Perast and Lady of the Rock’s boat tour and the Perast and Lady of the Rocks speedboat tour both start from about $28 (Oct 2026); the most reviewed in this group is the Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks speedboat tour (2h), from about $33 (Oct 2026) with 4.7/5 from 1,134 reviews. Sunset departures such as the Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks sunset tour cost a little more, from about $40 (Oct 2026).

Blue Cave combination tours: typically $40–45

This is the biggest and most competitive category, and where most visitors book. Adding the Blue Cave, submarine tunnels and Mamula adds roughly $10 to the median compared with the short trips. The two most reviewed Kotor-based boat tours in the sample sit right in the middle: the Blue Cave, Submarine Base and Lady of the Rocks tour (from about $43 (Oct 2026), 4.8/5 from 5,104 reviews) and the Blue Cave Swim, Lady of the Rocks and Submarine Tunnels tour (from about $40 (Oct 2026), 4.7/5 from 4,926 reviews). Prices above $50 buy longer time ashore, drinks or hotel pick-up, for example the Boka Bay and Blue Cave tour with pick-up at from about $67 (Oct 2026).

Blue CaveFrom €36

Cruises: cheapest and dearest

The two larger-vessel cruises sit at the extremes. The Boka Bay full-day guided cruise from Tivat or Kotor costs from about $28 (Oct 2026), the cheapest full-day option in the sample (rated 4.3/5 from 1,258 reviews), while the full-day catamaran cruise with Blue Cave visit is from about $105 (Oct 2026) (4.7/5 from 690 reviews), with more space and comfort.

Day trips from Croatia and Budva: $58–84

From Dubrovnik, a day trip that includes a boat ride in the bay costs from $58 (Montenegro day trip with cruise in Kotor Bay) to $84 (Perast, Kotor and Budva small-group day trip). The single most reviewed listing in the sample is the Montenegro boat tour from Perast to Kotor from Dubrovnik (from about $59 (Oct 2026), 4.5/5 from 5,507 reviews). Remember that summer border queues at Debeli Brijeg can take hours, cutting time in Perast.

Price bands: where most tours sit

Price band (from, per person)	Tours	Share	Average rating
Under $35	6	17%	4.48
$35–44	12	34%	4.68
$45–59	7	20%	4.65 (6 rated)
$60–99	8	23%	4.64
$100+	2	6%	4.45

The sweet spot is $35–44. Tours in this band had the highest average rating in our sample, and it includes the most reviewed Blue Cave tours. The very cheapest tours rated slightly lower on average, and paying above $60 did not buy a higher average rating; those prices mostly reflect longer distances (from Croatia), land transport or private use rather than a better boat trip.

Blue CaveFrom €45

The boat noses under the pale limestone arch and everything changes at once: the air turns cool, voices echo off the rock, and the water beneath you glows an electric blue. Slip over the side and it feels like swimming in light. The Our Lady of the Rocks and Blue Cave group tour pairs that swim with a stop at the islet.

What the discounts mean

Seventeen listings showed a struck-through price. The average discount was 23.6% (median 20.4%), ranging from 12% to 38%. The deepest cuts were on Blue Cave tours: the 3h Blue Cave, swim and war tunnels tour at $37 instead of $60, and the Blue Cave and Boka Bay boat tour at $36 instead of $56.

• Discounted tours averaged $46.29 now versus $61.29 struck through.
• 13 of the 16 Blue Cave combination tours showed a discount, against none of the day trips from Croatia or the land tours.
• October is shoulder season; struck prices are a reference, not a guarantee that peak-season prices will be that high or that the discount will last.

In practice, treat the current price as the real price and compare like with like: duration, stops, boat type, and whether the tour lands at Our Lady of the Rocks or only passes it.

Is a tour cheaper than doing it yourself?

For the island alone, doing it yourself from Kotor is cheaper: about €4 return on the bus plus a few euros for the taxi boat and the church fee. A tour starts to pay off once you add the Blue Cave, tunnels and Mamula, which you cannot easily reach without a boat. For a family of four or more, a private boat can come close to the combined group price; see private boat vs group tour.
