Plava špilja, the Blue Cave, is one of Montenegro’s most well-known spots on the coast. There are many marvelous tours than can take you on a well-guided and instructional tour of the coast. You’ll push your kayak into warm waters and learn how to steer and paddle. Following your lesson, you can head to the Adriatic Sea and paddle to the coast of the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is the largest of several natural excavations that can only be accessed by kayak. It gets its name from the changing colors of the water. It seems light blue in the morning, dark blue around noon, and again light blue before sunset.

After exploring the caves, you can either swim around in the blue waters or snorkel and explore the rocks and ocean life. If you are hungry or thirsty after a day in the sun there are plenty of local snack stands for you to choose from and enjoy. This is the perfect mix of a relaxing, yet exploratory, excursion for a vacation.

If you are planning to visit Montenegro, it is important to bring some important things with you. First, don’t forget your passport and travel documents. It is also important to check if you need a visa before you go. You should pack lightweight clothes for the hot summers and a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings. You should also bring comfortable shoes for walking and hiking, a swimsuit, and beachwear.

The sun can be very strong in Montenegro, so don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses. You should also pack a camera or phone with a good camera to capture your memories. In the summer months, there can be mosquitoes and other insects, so bring insect repellent. Montenegro uses the European standard plug type, so bring an adapter if you’re coming from a different country. You should also bring any prescription medications you need and a basic first aid kit with painkillers, band-aids, and antiseptic cream.

Lastly, make sure you have some cash and a credit card, as Montenegro uses the euro.
