The 4-hour excursion to the “International Cetacean Sanctuary” is suitable for an audience of any age. The departure from Genova Porto Antico, Calata Mandraccio, takes place on Wednesday and Friday with the possibility of departure also from Camogli and Recco. Other days of departure can be agreed upon when booking.

The aim is the research and observation in their natural habitat of the species of cetaceans residing in this area: fin whales, sperm whales, zifi, pilot whales, stalks, dolphins, dolphins and bottlenose dolphins.

On board our motor ships there is always a biologist who, in addition to participating in the activity, has the task of observing the animals and commenting on the meetings, providing information and curiosities, collecting data for research and involving children in various activities.

It seems only right to point out that navigating in search of cetaceans in the waters of the Sanctuary means facing a patient work of monitoring and observation of the surface, remembering that we are looking for free animals and there are no times or points set to meet them. We must accept the idea of having to face even a few hours of navigation, which is then amply rewarded by the emotion and spectacle that these creatures give us. The best days for sighting are those of calm sea and no wind, a situation in which it is easier to see the animals when they come to the surface to breathe.

Golfo Paradiso s.n.c has been dealing with maritime transport services in the tourism sector for years; with the creation of the Whalewatch Genova and Whalewatch Imperia brands, it takes over the baton of the first whale watching operator in Italy, the Bluwest of Imperia, placing its many years of experience in open sea excursions with the Corsara and Sagittario motor ships, authorized by the Coast Guard for navigation offshore for whalewatching within twenty miles from the coast, for the sighting of the eight species of cetaceans that can be encountered in the Ligurian Sea.

Through a series of activities such as:
– Short lessons on board including marine biology and oceanography
– Sighting in the sea
– Commentary on board during sightings
– Data collection during sightings

It offers a unique experience, in which adults and children can come into direct contact with whales and dolphins, the spokesperson of a sea that today more than ever requires our attention and needs our protection.

For groups of more than 50 people there is a free ticket for every 15 paying people.
