Whale watching cruise with WWF on a 22mt boat between Pontine and Ischia

Un'esperienza meravigliosa ed oltre ogni aspettativa anche dal punto di vista personale, non una semplice vacanza in barca! Grazie a chi ci ha accompagnato nel blu delle isole Pontine, la storica barca Adriatica e un equipaggio favoloso: lo skipper Inti, il co-skipper Giordano e la biologa marina Elisa. Una settimana di libertà e tanto divertimento grazie anche all'affiatamento che si è creato da subito tra tutti noi. E' stato emozionante veleggiare e scoprire il fascino della navigazione a vela. Elisa ci ha fatto scoprire la bellezza e la poesia di ciò che sta sott'acqua con le sue lezioni sul mondo dei cetacei. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di avvistare le stenelle, sono stati momenti magici! Esperienza consigliatissima, tornerò presto a bordo!

Abbiamo trascorso una settimana indimenticabile alla ricerca di cetacei tra le meravigliose isole dell’Elba, Capraia e Corsica. Oltre ad essere stato un viaggio ricco di momenti di divertimento e relax, è stata un’esperienza che ci ha arricchito profondamente. Un ringraziamento speciale va alla nostra guida, Andrea, che ha saputo trasmetterci la sua autentica passione per il mondo marino che stavamo esplorando. Gli approfondimenti sui cetacei che ci ha fornito con competenza e simpatia ci hanno fatto scoprire molti aspetti della vita di questi affascinanti animali, facendoci riflettere su quanto sia importante diffondere queste conoscenze per la tutela degli ecosistemi, oltre che per ammirarne la complessità e la bellezza. Paolo, il nostro capitano, è stato uno skipper partecipe, allegro e sempre pronto a venire incontro alle esigenze del gruppo. La traversata a vela dalla Corsica alla Capraia è stata uno dei momenti più belli del viaggio, grazie al nostro capitano e al marinaio, Alex, che hanno alzato le vele per regalarci questa emozione. Infine, è stata una vera fortuna condividere quest’esperienza con un fantastico gruppo. Grazie di cuore a tutti. Giulia e Marco
