Donde los ciervos nadan y los árboles cuentan historias de contrabandistas
The island is accessible year-round during daylight hours (from 8:00 to 20:00 in summer), and can be reached by boat from Budva Harbor, with frequent departures every 30 minutes. Book your ferry ticket at Budva Travel. The trip takes about 10 minutes.
Entry to the island is free, but the ferry from Budva costs around €5–10 round trip per person. Children under 7 travel free. Check updated prices at Visit Montenegro.
It is recommended to spend 1–2 hours exploring the trails and observing the biodiversity. If you use an audio guide, such as those from IAudioguia, you can enrich the experience at a relaxed pace.
The island is home to a 13th-century Orthodox monastery and is a natural refuge with rich endemic Adriatic fauna and flora. It represents a key site for environmental conservation and Montenegrin heritage.
The best time is from May to September, preferably in the morning to avoid the heat and see more birds. Avoid midday in summer because of the intense sun.
The trails are natural and steep, so they are not suitable for wheelchairs; moderate mobility is recommended. Contact Budva Harbor at +382 33 452 065 for adapted options.
Nearby are Budva Old Town with its walls, Sveti Stefan Island, and Jaz Beach. Explore Budva as an ideal base for combined tours.
Bring water, sunscreen, binoculars, and comfortable footwear; download an audio guide at IAudioguia to learn about the fauna and flora. Go early for fewer tourists and more sightings.
