Review of Kotor’s private Blue Cave boat tour, with swimming, Our Lady of the Rocks, Mamula Fortress, submarine tunnels, and practical tips.
“Bobin was our captain and made the adventure fun with music and commentary! We were unable to swim in blue cave due to traffic and water conditions, but he found another place for those who wanted to take a dip. The spots we stopped were cool but it is a lot of time riding in the boat, so in November bring enough warm layers.”
Review of Telegraph Cove’s 3-hour Zodiac whale tour, with orcas, humpbacks, wildlife, practical tips, price, comfort, and value.
“Fantastic guide Scottie kept us a respectful distance from the whales while informing us of all things humpback and orca. He knew the whales by their names. It felt like they were part of the fabric of the north Island. The more we do to keep them safe, the better.”

Review of Kotor’s 3-hour Blue Cave speedboat tour, with Our Lady of the Rocks, swimming, price, safety tips, and booking advice.
“Unfortunatelly, Miki canceled the trip due to the expected bad weather. The refund was quick and without any problems. Other tour operators sells the tours despite to the bad weather - from our point of view very close to fraud. Therefore, we were very happy with Mike‘s behavior - 5 stars”

“Nobody showed up. We had organised a babysitter and it was our one morning to spend together for my 40th birthday we booked and payed and received confirmation emails. Nobody showed up that morning and no one is answering the phone number provided. Huge disappointment. Now trying to get our money back. DO NOT RECOMMEND could be a scam”
Review of Kotor’s private three-hour speedboat tour to the Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks, and Mamula, with prices, tips, and tradeoffs.
“Kotor is beautiful and the boat tour was a favorite for everyone in our group of 7! Would highly recommend! If traveling to Kotor with a cruise beware that if your ship is tendering in Kotor there may be delays. The tour group did their best to work with us even though we were late, but we were not able to get a full 3 hour boat ride in. (I blame the cruise line not the tour company, but recommend not booking the early tour to avoid this issue.)”

Review of Mallorca’s 3-hour Alcudia speedboat tour, with Coll Baix, Cap Pinar, snorkeling, drinks, prices, tips, and honest pros and cons.
“Zero communication about a cancelled boat ride meant I was stood at the dock waiting for people who weren’t coming. I had to call Viator, who gave me a direct number to call in order to find out what was going on. I was leaving the next morning so no hope of rebooking and had to request a refund. Luckily my hotel was not far from the meeting point but if it had been further and I’d paid for taxis etc to get there I would be less disappointed and more angry. This company MUST contact people about cancelled excursions - it’s not acceptable in this day and age not…”
Pick a hull, a cave or a reef.
