“Fun, easy - The speed boat was an incredible experience! Location was hard to find at first because the link was not clear to exact location. It was right by the water not within the old town. Otherwise our tour guide was incredible. Very knowledgeable, great boat driving skills keeping safety first. We had such an awesome time. Took us to cool sites. Can use the bathrooms at lady of the rock but plan to pay a couple euros and wait in a long line. Great experience! Make sure you look at the weather was a little chilly to and from. Went during the morning time but would have been nice to swim if it wasn’t chilly. Bring towels and bathing suit.”

The rain, though present, becomes a backdrop to the adventure, allowing you to uncover the hidden gems of Kotor Bay.
