What people say

"About 6 nautical miles away from Herceg Novi, between Golden Harbor and Cape Mala Gora on the Lustica peninsula, is perhaps the most beautiful natural phenomenon on the Montenegrin coast - the Blue Cave (Blue Grotto). People are classifying it as a natural jewel of the Mediterranean due to its natural origin. It is one of the largest in a series of caves in this peninsula, created at the foot of the 30 meters high cliffs, and is a result of thousands of years of sea waves crashing on porous rocks of Lustica. The cave has two openings, a smaller one on the south side and a larger one that’s 3 meters high and 15 meters wide, located on the southwest side. The larger opening enables entrance for barges and smaller ships into the cave, allowing tourists to witness the wonderful play of light in the waters of the Blue Cave. This natural hall, with a 9-meters-above-sea-level vault, is a unique stage for one of Mother Nature’s wonders that will leave visitors breathless."

"If you walk all the way to the right from you guest house you will find a place on your left with a lot of boats. Here you can book a boat trip to the Blue Cave. Take the smallest boat you can find, those are less touristic and have a more personal experience. At the same time you will be able to see the beautiful Perast from a different view point. It is a natural sea cave known for its unique blue light effect, created by sunlight reflecting on the white sandy bottom of the cave and through the crystal-clear water. Visitors can only access the cave by boat, and it is a popular destination for tourists and water sports enthusiasts. The boat will stop here and you can take a swim and do some snorkeling. "

"The Blue Cave in Montenegro is a magical sea cave near the Lustica Peninsula, famous for its brilliant, electric-blue waters that create a glowing effect inside the cavern. Accessible only by boat, the cave’s unique light is due to sunlight reflecting off the sandy seabed, giving the water an enchanting, almost otherworldly glow. Visitors can swim in the clear, cool waters and marvel at the natural beauty surrounding them. A trip to the Blue Cave is often combined with boat tours around Kotor Bay, making it an unforgettable highlight of Montenegro’s coast."

Montenegro is a picturesque hidden gem. The Bay of Kotor, just off the Adriatic Sea, is surrounded by beautiful mountains with historic towns dotted along the coastline. Exploring The Bay of Kotor and towns along the Adriatic Coast will give you the fullest Montenegrin experience. We heard Montenegro was a great place to sit out on a tourist visa from the Schengen Region, but didn't know what to expect. We took the leap, booked a 2.5 month trip, and found ourselves enchanted by the country. From tranquil charm to picturesque old towns, sun-kissed beaches, and majestic mountains, Montenegro has all the ingredients for an idyllic getaway—it exceeded our wildest dreams.

In this guide, we share more information about requirements for entry to Montenegro with a canine, as well as pet-friendly places to make your trip a paw-some success! 🏳️‍🌈 Montenegro is moderately LGBTQ+ friendly.
