Go on board: What are you waiting for?
The excursion lasts about 3.5 hours, we will board an intimate and welcoming motorboat whose structure offers all passengers the opportunity to participate in a close and intimate sighting with the animals.
On board we will find Claudia, our expert nature guide who will entertain you with a lesson of about an hour of introduction to cetology in Italian and English, providing particular and curious notions about the inhabitants of our Ligurian Sea.
During the excursion Simone and Ettore, our expert spotters will scan the surface in search of marine mammals and with some advice that will be provided to you you too can help us in the search.
Obviously, you are looking for wild animals and therefore you are not sure of spotting them.
The excursion lasts about 3.5 hours so as not to tire you too much and being lucky enough to find canyons with high depth very close to the coast, already half an hour of navigation we have the possibility of sighting.
It is important to know that the cetaceans research in the waters of the Sanctuary requires apatient surface monitoring and observation work, remembering that we are searching wild animals and there are neither times nor established points to meet them.
We have to accept a few hours of sailing.
