Quattro giorni in paradiso! La nostra guida WWF era molto preparata e disponibile; e' stato indimenticabile (e inaspettato) avvistare così tante specie nel nostro mare! La barca era comoda e spaziosa e le lezioni sui cetacei molto interessante. Bella atmosfera a bordo, esperienza consigliatissima per gli amanti degli animali e della sostenibilità!

Everything you need to know about WWF research and whale watching cruises

What's the best time to board a WWF cruise and what are the best places for sightings?

In general, you can go on a WWWF research and whale watching cruise year-round. There are times that are more suitable to combine the cetacean sighting experience with the pleasantness of enjoying long, warm days.

During spring and autumn, weekends and long weekends are organized for research experiences that focus on the Italian coast, particularly in Sardinia, Liguria and Tuscany. In summer, in addition to weekly cruises to Italian destinations, cruises to Greece and the Balearic Islands are also added.

Does one need to have sailing experience?

Absolutely not. Anyone can board a WWF cetacean research and sighting cruise. Moreover there are no age limits and anyone can enjoy this experience: from the lone traveller, who wants to combine the pleasure of meeting new people on board with the thrill of experiencing cetacean sightings, to the family who wants to experience an adventure that is perfect for adults and children, to couples and groups of friends looking to relax, have fun and get in touch with nature.

The WWF research and cetacean spotting experience is a great way to experience the wonders of nature.

The love for the sea, its inhabitants and their protection represent a fixed point in the programming of WWF cruises, which is enriched with new travel formulas that combine the charm of a vacation in the most beautiful seas of our country with the possibility of living firsthand experiences related to research and conservation.
