Budva Activities & Tours
Things to Do in Budva
Activities from Budva cover water sports along the Riviera, guided boat excursions, tandem paragliding, diving, cultural walking tours and inland day trips.
Boat trips, kayaking, jet ski rental and parasailing run along the Riviera coastline, while minibus day trips head inland to the national parks and historic towns. Boat trips depart from the marina and the Old Town harbour, covering routes to Sveti Nikola island (a 15-minute crossing), the Blue Cave near the Lustica peninsula, and south along the coast to Sveti Stefan. Half-day trips run €25–€50 per person, full-day options including lunch €60–€100. Kayaking, jet ski rental and parasailing operate from Slovenska Beach and Bečići from June through September, with jet ski hire typically starting at €50 for 30 minutes.
On land, day trips run by minibus to Lovćen National Park and the Njeguši mausoleum, Cetinje (the old royal capital), Lake Skadar for boat rides through the wetlands, and the Bay of Kotor for visits to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks. Most operators provide English-speaking guides and hotel pickup. Paragliding launches from the hills above Bečići, with tandem flights of 15–25 minutes landing directly on the beach — expect to pay €65–€100 per flight. Several diving operators cover sites along the Riviera including underwater caves, reef walls and a few small wrecks at depths accessible to beginners.
Advance booking is recommended in July and August for all water activities and popular day trips. Many operators offer online booking through their own websites or through platforms like GetYourGuide and Viator.
