Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast by boat from Kotor
Off Perast lie two islets: St George’s, natural, with its monastery and cypresses, and Our Lady of the Rocks, man-made, built stone by stone by the sailors of Perast around a rock and crowned by a church. Only the second can be visited. This is the short trip to see it: 90 minutes, €25, from Kotor.
How the €25 trip goes
- Departure at 16:00 from Kotor harbour (Park Slobode 1).
- Our Lady of the Rocks: you land and visit the islet and its church. The church entrance, €5 per person, not included.
- Perast, half an hour on foot: the Venetian town of 16 churches, with St George’s (Sv. Djordje) as the landmark.
- Back to Kotor: 90 minutes in all.
English-speaking guide (customers say theirs spoke very good Spanish and played Spanish music on the way back). 8.8/10 from 25 reviews. Free cancellation up to 36 hours before, and if the weather prevents it, an alternative date or a refund.
The €5 entrance is never included
None of the boat trips, not the Blue Cave one, nor this one, nor the private boat, nor the one from Dubrovnik, includes the entrance to the church of Our Lady of the Rocks: €5 per person, paid on the islet. Bring it in coins. Inside there is a painted church and a small museum; its most famous piece is the embroidery a Perast woman worked for 25 years with her own hair while waiting for her sailor husband.
On your own from Perast
If you are in Perast, you don’t need the trip: from the village waterfront small boats cross to the islet in a few minutes, back and forth all day, paid in cash on the spot. We don’t publish a price or timetable because we could not verify them with any official source: ask at the waterfront. What the trip from Kotor adds is the ride across the bay and not having to get to Perast.
This one or the Blue Cave?
For €25 more, the Blue Cave trip adds the swim in the cave and Mamula, and also stops 20 minutes on the islet. If you have an afternoon and want to see the islet without getting wet, this one; if you have three hours and a calm sea, the other. And if you are four or more, the private boat (€150 per boat) has a two-hour islet-and-Perast route at whatever time you like.
