Whale Watching in Liguria

With its deep sea floor and underwater canyons, the Ligurian Sea is one of the most important protected marine areas in the Mediterranean. The Cetacean Sanctuary is located off the coast of Liguria, home to numerous species of marine mammals and the best place to see these large vertebrates in their natural habitat.

Whale Watching is a unique and compelling experience, which will delight adults as well as children, from animal lovers to amateur and professional nature photographers.
