Whale Whatching

Experience

Whale Whatching

Whale Watching at the Cetacean Sanctuary off the coast of Genoa is an unmissable experience.
The Ligurian Sea is the gateway to one of the most important marine areas for the study of cetacean fauna, the Pelagos Sanctuary. It is an area of about 100,000 km² delimited by the waters of Toulon in France, Capo Falcone and Capo Ferro in Sardinia and Fosse Chiarone in Tuscany.

The excursion lasts about 4 hours, with departure from Genoa (possibility also to leave from Camogli). A marine biologist will illustrate along the route the species that you can encounter: dolphins, whales, sperm whales, zyphus, blackfish, cramps, stenelles and bottlenose dolphins.
Moving away from the Genoese coast you will reach the open sea with its 1000/1500 meters depth, where the probability of sighting is higher and while the navigation continues along the Genoa Underwater Canyon, the largest in the Mediterranean Sea.
It must be remembered that you are looking for free animals, and therefore there are no fixed times or points to meet them. The wait is rewarded by the emotion and spectacle that these creatures can give us.
A unique experience, which puts us in close contact with the sea, which today more than ever requires our attention and need for protection.
