Itinerary
Ecotour in the waters of the Gulf of Catania to spot wild dolphins, led by local cetologists with many years of experience.
With the Etna volcano always dominant in the background, it will be possible to admire one or more of the major geological and naturalistic points of interest along the Catania coast (depending on the tour: Brucoli, Catania, Ognina, Aci Trezza, Santa Tecla, Santa Maria La Scala, Stazzo, Riposto, Taormina).
Once aboard our boat, we will head offshore entertained by the valuable information provided by marine biologists, scrutinizing the horizon and proceeding at a low cruising speed, until we spot whales or dolphins in the Gulf.
The observation of the animals will follow the code of international good conduct and the Friend of the Sea brand for which we are certified, in order to minimize the disturbance we cause to animals.
The experts will introduce you by name to the dolphins cataloged in the course of their research, and will show you their inevitable aerial behaviors while you are ready to immortalize them with photos and videos. After leaving the pack, we will return to the port of departure.
