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 observing dolphins and whales in the wild. We'll meet at Porto Canale in Marina di Ginosa and set sail to find these marine animals.

During our trip, we will hear legends about the province of Taranto, known as "Taras" in ancient times, and learn about the significance of the sea in Apulia. Once we are further from the coast, we'll look for dolphins and sperm whales swimming in the Ionian Sea.

You will witness these animals jumping, performing pirouettes, and swimming alongside the boat. After the 2-hour boat trip, we will enjoy a snack with drinks on board.

Following our trip, we will return to the port of Marina di Ginosa.

Dolphin and whale sightings

The Gulf of Taranto is a prime location in Italy for dolphin and cetacean sightings. However, animal sightings are unpredictable and can vary based on factors like weather and the breeding seasons of the species.
