Wonderful experience both on a human level (the WWF guide and travel companions) and on the level of knowledge transmitted. Seeing the cetaceans was a great emotion!

Whale watching cruise with WWF guide in the Corfu archipelago

We sailed from Santa Maria di Leuca to the Greek islands around Corfu – a fantastically beautiful trip that I will never forget! Roco was our captain and just great! He navigated us safely and confidently, was always friendly and warm and immediately made us feel welcome on board. Donatello was our whale watching guide – and he really is the best! With his great knowledge, his humor and his incredible enthusiasm for whales and dolphins, he not only imparted a lot of knowledge to us, but also shared his own fascination with us. He tirelessly looked out for animals and chose the best routes for us. And with success: We were able to observe sperm whales, beaked whales and dolphins. These encounters were beautiful and incredibly touching! The group on board was also great. From the very beginning, Donatello has made sure that everyone feels comfortable and gets along well with each other. So we had a wonderful time with exciting conversations, lots of laughter, fine food, games together and of course many fascinating moments on the water. The whole trip was just fantastically beautiful – a perfect mix of sailing, nature, adventure and wonderful people. Many thanks again to Roco, Donatello and the whole team for this unforgettable time! 💙🐋⛵

It was a great trip/experience. We saw whales and dolphins, learned a lot on board, experienced a lot, also had a lot of peace and fun, anchored in bays for the night under the stars, and also went ashore. The skipper Rocco was great and the WWF guide was exceptional, passionate, interesting and both were always there for everyone. The weather was very good the whole week, also had days with wind to sail - it was just really hot sometimes. Despite the great depths, we jumped into the sea everywhere to cool off.
