We had an absolutely amazing time on our full-day cruise around the Bay of Kotor with Ave Tours! It was five of us guys from Poland looking for a fun day out, and this cruise was perfect.
Right from the start, our driver Duško was super nice and made sure we were all set for the day. He was friendly and gave us some great tips about the area.
The views were out of this world. Cruising through the Bay of Kotor, we saw incredible mountains, cute little villages, and cool historic sites. Each stop was more beautiful than the last, and we couldn’t stop taking pictures.
Dear Danijel, we are glad that you enjoyed discovering the beauties of Montenegro. Thanks for the positive comments and greetings to you and your friends from Duško.
It was very cool! I didn’t have enough time to visit all the interesting places, but I will definitely come back again!
It was amazing cruise around the Bay of Boka. I liked everything! This cruise was super organised and everything went as well as possible.
It’s like being in the paradise.
I recommend Ave Tours for 100 %. They’re very sweet people and thank you very much 😊
Dear Solomia,
Thank you for placing your trust in traveling with AVE Tours Travel Agency. The full-day cruise in the Bay of Kotor is one of the most beautiful excursions from our program.
I only have one word to describe this tour: incredible! We had a fabulous time cruising the bay of Kotor in a very big boat! The boat had many areas to relax, eat, and view the bay from every direction. I was excited at each place we stopped to hear the history and legends of this wonderful country. The church on the Island was beautiful and I enjoyed hearing the stories of how the sailors were protected. I can’t wait to do this tour again and visit Blue Caves once more! We also got to stop in Herceg Novi where we found a wonderful restaurant! I would recommend this tour to everyone. It is a full day and AVE Tours makes sure every detail is planned for you.
I am already planning my next trip!
Thank you … Tourists from the US enjoy the meaningful offer of AVE tours …. Happy journey🌞

This is one of the excursions that especially delights tourists. Walking tours of the old towns, the island of Our Lady of the Rocks, the Blue Cave are places that leave a special impression.

One of my favorite excursions! So many beautiful places we got to see in all in one day! Boat was very nice and made it a great experience. Looking forward to going again!
Thanks, Jake,
You are right, a full-day cruise along the Bay of Kotor is a trip to relax and enjoy. On this trip, our tourists see and experience one of the most beautiful fjord in Europe and see most of the Montenegrin coast.
This was one of my favorite things we did! You got to relax in the sun while taking in beautiful sights and learning about the history all along the bay! The boat was spacious and had shaded areas to relax if you got too hot in the sun. Also the blue cave was incredible!
Dear Kendra,
Thank you! Tourist agency AVE tours always recommend tourists a full day trip cruising the Bay of Kotor. In 10 years, we do not have a single tourist who was not satisfied with this trip, on the contrary, everyone was delighted.
