A boat ride from Perast takes visitors to Our Lady of the Rocks, an island with a church that dates back centuries. The boat trip costs around 10 euros and is optional, but it provides a unique perspective of the bay’s islands and the chance to see the church up close. After returning from the boat, travelers gather back in the van for the next stop.
