3.Night Lights Kayaking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 51 reviews · 2 hours · from $53

Meet the EDDY team at Watersport Center Yamaha for a two-hour LED-lit kayak or SUP tour. Guides including Stefan and Konstantin teach beginners, then lead you to St. Nicholas Island and Budva’s glowing Old Town walls.

“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!”

4.★ From Kotor: Sunset Boat Tour to Perast & Lady of the Rocks

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 25 reviews · 2 hours

Take a private two-hour speedboat ride from Kotor to Our Lady of the Rocks and Perast. Your English-speaking skipper, such as Luka or Nikola, shares local stories while you explore the island and Baroque town. Drinks, safety gear, and fees are included, but the church entrance is extra and closes after 6 PM.

“Good fun. Private speed boat with two stops to enjoy the changing sky at the sun sets. Great to see Our Lady of the Rock with fewer people on the Island but obviously the main church is closed so limited experience. Our Guide Nikola was great providing background information on the sites and music as we cruised”

The LED lights under the kayaks lit up the water so well and really opened up a new view of underwater life. All the equipment was well maintained and the trip was very safe and well organised.”
