Gulf of Taranto Dolphin & Whale Watching

On our unforgettable 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 in search of these marine animals. During our boat trip, we'll hear legends about the province of Taranto, known as "Taras" in ancient times, and learn about the sea's significance in this region of Apulia. Once at a distance from the coast, we'll attempt to spot dolphins and sperm whales swimming in the Ionian Sea.

We'll observe these animals swimming and jumping next to the boat. Following this 2-hour boat trip, we'll share a snack with drinks on board before returning to the port of Marina di Ginosa.

Dolphin and whale sightings

The Gulf of Taranto is a notable location in Italy for viewing dolphins and cetaceans; however, animal sightings are unpredictable. The number of animals seen will depend on factors such as the weather and the breeding seasons of various species.
