1st May: Whale watching expedition with WWF guide on an 18-meter schooner

I am satisfied with the knowledge that Laura has transmitted to us about cetaceans, dolphins etc. the knowledge on where and how they live on what they feed and what we humans could do if we were human, to help them live better, the explanations were very simple but effective and clear Laura is very competent in the subject. Pleasant destinations for the search for cetaceans, hearing their chatter through the headphones was very pleasant. The crew helpful, the boat a little too spartan. overall it was a good experience.

Everything was beautiful, except for the management of drinking water which seriously worried me.

A beautiful experience, I would do it again 1000 times. Starting from the beauty of the boat, to hospitality and the possibility of being able to actively collaborate in daily activities. The presence of hydrophones on board is very interesting. Awesome people and great experience!

Unique experience! Laura is a fantastic guide and communicator! We heard the clicks of sperm whales that were probably hunting deep under our boat, crossed paths with a turtle and discovered many secrets about cetaceans. I highly recommend this holiday. The schooner that hosted us is mostly built of wood, so it seems to be on a pirate boat! Particular mention for the two sailors Melissa and Alejandro, two really talented and empathetic guys. Thank you and fair winds!

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.
