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.
