Question 17

What is the Blue Cave?

Accepted Answer

The Blue Cave (Plava Špilja) is a natural sea cave near Kotor where sunlight filters through the water to create an ethereal bright blue glow. It's one of Montenegro's most iconic natural wonders and a highlight of our Blue Cave Adventure tours.

Question 18

Can we swim inside the Blue Cave?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Swimming inside the Blue Cave is one of the most magical experiences on the tour. Our captains position the boat carefully so passengers can slip into the crystal-clear turquoise water and swim in the cave. Snorkeling equipment is included.

Question 19

Is the Blue Cave always accessible?

Accepted Answer

The Blue Cave is accessible in calm weather conditions. Strong winds or rough seas occasionally prevent entry, but this is rare during the main summer season. If we cannot enter the cave safely, we substitute with another equally beautiful swimming spot and the tour price is adjusted accordingly.

Question 20

What time is best to visit the Blue Cave?

Accepted Answer

The Blue Cave looks most spectacular in late morning when sunlight penetrates the water at its most vivid angle (around 10:00 – 12:00). Our morning and midday departures are timed to make the most of this natural phenomenon.
