Are the Blue Cave tours from Tivat worth it?
Absolutely. The Blue Cave’s electric-blue water is a natural wonder. Tours from Tivat often combine it with other landmarks like Our Lady of the Rocks and Mamula Fortress, offering incredible value and an unforgettable swimming experience.
Can I visit Ostrog Monastery on a day trip from Tivat?
Yes, private tours like the Great Monastery Tour make it possible. Ostrog is about a 2-hour drive from the coast. Booking a guided tour ensures efficient travel and deep cultural insight into this cliffside pilgrimage site.
What should I book first, a boat tour or a land tour?
