The proposed excursions will take about 6 hours departing from the port of Savona or the Port of Imperia, depending on the needs. The tour will focus on the search and sighting of cetaceans, thus remaining at distances from the coast of more than ten nautical miles. The use of the dinghy allows us to reach remarkable distances from the coast in a short time, thus maximising the hours available for sighting cetaceans; The approach to animals (following the international code of conduct for cetacean approach) is different and is possible to feel an incredible contact with the species encountered.
