Snorkeling Montenegro – the best spots to go with your yacht

The famous Blue Grotto or as locals call it “Plava šplilja” is one of Montenegro’s most popular natural tourist attractions because of the iridescent blue color.

The name Blue Grotto is derived from the way that the light is manifested. The sunlight is hitting the sandy sea bottom, thus reflecting itself upwards through the water and projecting the color blue onto the roof of the cave and the nearby surroundings.

It is located in the Lustica Peninsula which is full of both aquatic and coastal wildlife and both boat tours and private yachts pass in its immediate surroundings on a daily basis.

The water is only around 16 feet deep, but it gets deeper once you actually go inside the cave. The underwater terrain is a combination of rock and sand which makes it a perfect terrain for underwater wildlife watching, so if you decide to visit the Blue Grotto, don’t forget to bring your equipment so that you can experience snorkeling in Montenegro’s prettiest waters.
