Montenegro · EVENING EXPERIENCES
The good evening experiences fill up a week ahead in summer and the best go first. Below: the 12 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
2-hour Skadar Lake sunset cruise from Virpazar with a wooden boat, local wine, Fort Lesendro, wildlife stops, and a quick swim.
“Great boat tour, beautiful scenery, wine on board was a nice touch.”
A 1.5-hour Kotor Bay speedboat to Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast, with onboard Wi-Fi and a laid-back island-and-town stop.
“The boat trip was fantastic. Josh our Captain was very kind and explained all the sites along the way to the cave. He did an excellent job maneuvering the boat around the other boats that were already in the cave, as well as the swimmers in the water. It made for a lovely afternoon.”
Paddle under LED lights in Budva, swim near St. Nicholas Island, and glide by the Old Town walls at night on a 2-hour tour.
“This was such a lovely activity, and much better than doing it in the searing sun! We were quickly taught how to paddle, then we were off on the water. We were allowed to go slowly to look at the fish and rock formations underneath our LED-lit kayaks. We went over to St Nikolai island, then to Old Town. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Our guide, Stefan, took videos and pictures of us and shared them via WhatsApp later - brilliant!”
Sunset speedboat from Kotor to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, with two cultural stops, drinks, and golden Adriatic views.
“We had a private tour at sunset, which was very nice. Our guide, Luka, took us to Perast, allowing us to walk along the town. We are lucky enough to catch a wedding at the church and purchase some handmade slippers that were knitted by local women. After which Luka came back to pick us up and take us to the Lady of the Rocks before returning to KOTOR Because it was a sunset tour, the church on the island was closed — we knew this ahead of time. In hindsight, Luka should have dropped us off at the Lady of the Rocks first, so that we would have some…”
Paddle Budva at night on LED-lit kayaks, see glowing seabed and old town walls, and glide toward Sveti Nikola in 2 hours.
“Lovely tour during the night time. Our guide, Artur, was a charming, enjoyable, and knowledgable. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.”
Private sunrise or sunset boat tour on Skadar Lake from Virpazar, with pelicans, lotus channels, and a relaxing swim.
“Beautiful experience. Captain was nice, he did his best to make our boat tour funny and he also told us a lot of interesting information about Skadar Lake and its surroundings. Having a private boat tour was a great decision! Unfortunately sky was not clear so we did not see sunset.”
Ride Kotor Cable Car for bay views, then cruise Boka Bay at evening light past Our Lady of the Rocks, ending in Tivat.
“Timings changed without being informed, lots of walking yet said in information that suitable for over 70s, one member of our party struggled. left waiting a lot without explanation. Not the trip we paid for. Got back to hotel over 2 hours later than was advertised.”
