Gulf of Taranto Dolphin & Whale Watching

On our dolphin and whale watching activity in the Gulf of Taranto, you'll see dolphins and sperm whales in the Ionian Sea.

Gulf of Taranto Dolphin & Whale Watching

The Ionian coast is ideal for viewing dolphins and whales in the wild. We'll meet at Porto Canale in Marina di Ginosa and set sail in search of these marine animals.

During the boat trip, we'll hear legends about the province of Taranto, known as "Taras" in ancient times, and learn about the significance of the sea in this region of Apulia. Once we are far from the coast, we'll attempt to spot dolphins and sperm whales in the Ionian Sea.

You may witness these animals jumping, performing pirouettes, and swimming near the boat. The experience will conclude with a snack and drinks on board.

After this 2-hour boat trip, we'll return to the port of Marina di Ginosa.

Dolphin and whale sightings

The Gulf of Taranto is one of the best locations in Italy for observing dolphins and other cetaceans. However, animal sightings can be unpredictable and depend on various factors, including weather conditions and breeding seasons of different species.
