A unique experience, full of real and strong emotions. I was looking for a holiday to do with my daughter, something different, I had never been on a sailing boat for several days and so I chose it. Let's start with captain Paolo and Dario his help, a nice couple, balanced they took us in search of cetaceans, giving us goodies, stories and moments of conviviality in maximum safety. But the highlight of the holiday was Laura, a WWF guide, who with her passion, her dreams and her experiences made the experience unique. He involved us in research activities, he taught us to know this beautiful world that is the sea with its cetaceans!! And above all he took us with him on a journey/dream full of emotions that we will always carry in our hearts! Thank you very much

I signed my daughter up for this cruise with the confidence that it would be a great experience. Reality exceeded expectations. My daughter came back enthusiastic about everything. Nature, the baths, the navigation and tracking and the crew the stars..... Everything lived intensely

It was an experience we will remember for a long time! Special thanks go to skipper Luca and guide Andrea, who made this day truly extraordinary. Andrea is an extremely prepared, competent person capable of transmitting his passion for the sea and marine fauna in an engaging way. You can feel how much he loves his job and how much he cares about sharing his knowledge with those who participate in the excursion. Luca, with great professionalism and availability, has led the boat impeccably, involving and opening the doors to anyone interested in the world of sailing. Together they have done much more than was planned: they have committed themselves far beyond what was required of them, modifying the route when possible, making us discover wonderful places not planned and dedicating time and energy to give us a truly unique experience. We did not feel like simply participants in an excursion, but guests accompanied by two people who put heart, passion and dedication into what they do. It is rare to meet professionals who are so attentive and eager to offer the best. I recommend this experience to anyone who loves the sea and nature: if you are lucky enough to have Luca and Andrea with you, you will experience a day that will go far beyond expectations. Thank you very much!

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.
