Tour Highlights
THE BLUE CAVES
The Blue Caves are a magical highlight of our swimming tours in Montenegro. While we avoid the famous and crowded main cave for safety reasons, we explore more intimate and lesser-known caves where the vibrant blues of the Adriatic truly come alive. Here, without the buzz of tourist boats, you can fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of these hidden gems. The dazzling colors, created by sunlight reflecting off the sandy seabed, provide a serene and natural experience unlike any other.
SUBMARINE TUNNELS
Our exploration of the submarine tunnels offers a fascinating glimpse into Montenegro’s maritime history. Built in the 1970s by the Yugoslav navy, these tunnels once housed submarines and small ships. While swimming inside the tunnels is technically possible, we strongly discourage it due to the high volume of tourist boat traffic, which can pose safety risks. Instead, we’ll guide you on a walking tour within these impressive structures. This provides a unique perspective and a safer, more enriching way to appreciate their scale and history. Later, we’ll swim near the tunnels—on the cleaner and quieter outside—where the water is pristine and inviting.
PERAST VILLAGE
After our morning swim, we will explore the picturesque town of Perast. Located along Boka Bay, it may be small but it is rich in history. Perast was originally settled in by the Illyrians and heavily influenced by its Venetian inhabitants. The Republic of Venice owned Perast between 1420 and 1797 which is evident in its baroque architecture and maritime history.
OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS

Our Lady of the Rocks is an island steeped in captivating legend. According to local lore, sailors returning from their voyages discovered an image of the Mother of God on a rock jutting from the sea. When they took the picture and brought it back with them, it mysteriously reappeared in its original place on the rock days later. In awe of this divine sign, the sailors vowed to throw stones into the sea upon each return home. Over the centuries, their devotion created an island, on which a church was later built to honor the Mother of God.
PORTO MONTENEGRO

Not far from our group holiday accommodation is the promenade of Porto Montenegro, where you can admire the impressive superyachts and browse the stylish boutiques. This vibrant marina village is a perfect mix of charm and luxury, offering a glimpse of the Adriatic’s coastal beauty. Whether you’re looking to explore or simply soak in the atmosphere, Porto Montenegro is an inviting stop on our journey.
SVETI STEFAN
Sveti Stefan is a gem of the Adriatic, a tiny islet steeped in history and allure. Once a simple fishing village, it rose to fame in the 1960s as a glamorous retreat for celebrities. Today, while the exclusive 5-star resort remains closed, the island's iconic beauty continues to captivate from every angle.
With Susan as your Ocean Blue Swimming Tour guide, you’ll embark on a 750-meter swim encircling the island. This serene swim offers an unrivaled perspective of Sveti Stefan, revealing its timeless charm and the striking contrasts of its terracotta rooftops against the azure sea. It’s a short yet unforgettable journey through Montenegro’s coastal magic.
SVETI NIKOLA ISLAND
Known locally as ‘Hawaii,’ Sveti Nikola Island is a haven for both nature lovers and adventurers. While the tourist side faces Budva’s bustling coastline, the protected nature reserve offers pristine swimming opportunities. Explore striking rock formations and a secluded blue cave, where you’ll be mesmerized by the interplay of light and water. With warm temperatures and clear waters, it’s a perfect spot to capture stunning underwater photos.
Budva’s Old Town is over two thousand years old and is home to a Citadel and two churches; St. Ivan and St. Trinity.
The Old Town has gained recognition by UNESCO for its architectural antiquity and has been restored having experienced damage from two earthquakes in its lifetime.
Within its medieval walls you can find all manner of shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, a museum, art gallery and a theatre festival during the summer.

LUSTICA PENINSULA
The Lustica Peninsula showcases some of the Adriatic’s most stunning coastal scenery. Here, we’ll swim through crystal-clear waters along secluded beaches and dramatic cliffs. The region is dotted with hidden swim-through tunnels and lesser-known caves that invite exploration. Each turn reveals a new marvel of unspoiled nature, offering an unparalleled sense of adventure and serenity.
KOTOR OLD TOWN
Nestled at the foot of brooding limestone cliffs, Kotor’s Old Town is a living tapestry of history, culture, and Venetian charm. As you pass through one of its three ancient gates—the Sea Gate, South Gate, or River Gate—you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into another era. Its labyrinth of cobblestone streets, adorned with baroque palaces, medieval churches, and bustling squares, tells the story of a city shaped by seafarers, traders, and empires.​
