A boat tour to the Blue Cave doesn't require much preparation, but bringing a few essentials will help you enjoy the experience comfortably. Since the tour combines cruising, sightseeing, and a swimming stop, it's worth packing for a few hours on the water.

If you plan to swim, wearing your swimsuit underneath your clothes is often the easiest option. A towel is equally useful, especially after leaving the water before continuing the journey through Boka Bay.

The Adriatic sun can be strong, even when there's a pleasant breeze on the boat. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat can make a big difference, particularly during the middle of the day. Comfortable summer clothing and footwear are also recommended, as you'll be getting on and off the boat during the tour.

A phone or camera is something most visitors won't want to leave behind. From the Blue Cave and the former submarine tunnel to the views of Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, there are plenty of moments worth capturing. If you plan to swim with your phone, a waterproof pouch offers extra peace of mind.

Many guests also ask about refreshments. Bottled water is provided on board (just ask the captain), and before departure you're welcome to enjoy complimentary coffee or water at our office. Towels are also available to rent if you prefer not to bring your own.

Other than that, there isn't much to think about. Pack light, dress comfortably, and enjoy a few hours discovering one of the most beautiful parts of Montenegro from the sea.

Short answer: Yes.

September has a different feeling in Kotor and the Bay of Kotor. The busiest part of summer starts to wind down, the temperatures are still warm, and there’s a little more space to enjoy the coast without the peak-season crowds.

It’s also one of our favorite times to take the speedboat out.

Why Take a Blue Cave Tour in September?

The Blue Cave is one of the highlights of the Montenegrin coast, and September is a great time to experience it. The sea is still warm enough for swimming, while the atmosphere around the coast is generally more relaxed than during July and August.

Our 3-hour Blue Cave Group Boat Tour from Kotor is a small-group speedboat experience, combining the Blue Cave with swimming and some of the most beautiful spots around the coast.

Why Sea Stars?

We’re a family-run local boat tour company with more than 12 years of experience on the water. We keep our tours personal, our groups small and our boats comfortable, while focusing on what we think a boat trip should really be about — enjoying the sea and seeing the best of the coast.

If you're visiting Kotor in September, this is a great way to spend a few hours on the Adriatic and experience the Bay of Kotor from a different perspective.

If you spend time around Boka Bay, you will often hear locals talk about Jugo and Bura. These two winds are part of everyday life on the Adriatic, and they can have a big effect on the sea.

Jugo comes from the southeast and brings warm, humid air. It often arrives with clouds and changing weather, and as it becomes stronger, the sea can become rougher, especially toward the open Adriatic.

Bura comes from the northeast and is quite different. It is cold and dry and often brings exceptionally clear skies. But clear weather does not always mean calm water. Strong Bura can bring sudden gusts, particularly around the mountains.

For boats, the direction of the wind matters just as much as its strength. The surrounding mountains influence how the wind moves, which means conditions can feel very different from one part of the bay to another.

For guests, learning about these winds gives you another way to appreciate the coast during a boat tour from Kotor. You may notice the breeze on your face, the way the water moves. These small details are part of what makes spending time here so special.

Our captains are familiar with the local conditions and keep an eye on the wind throughout the journey, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery, fresh air and time on the water.

Once you know about Jugo and Bura, you may start noticing the small changes in the sea and the air as you travel along the coast. It is a small part of local knowledge, but one that makes the experience on the water even more interesting.
