Scenic drive to a family winery
The emphasis is on the road through Boka Bay and the winery visit, with tastings at the destination.
Multi-stop coastal circuit
The route connects Hercego Novi, Perast, Kotor, Budva, and a panoramic view of St. Stefan.
Boat outing with fishing stops
The experience starts from the marina and moves along the Adriatic coastline toward fishing spots.
