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 their natural habitat. We will meet at Porto Canale in Marina di Ginosa and set sail in search of these marine animals. During the trip, we'll hear legends about the province of Taranto, formerly known as "Taras," and learn about the significance of the sea in Apulia. After distancing from the coast, we will try to spot dolphins and sperm whales in the Ionian Sea.

You will witness these animals swimming and performing near the boat. Following the 2-hour boat trip, we will enjoy a snack with drinks on board before returning to the port of Marina di Ginosa.

Dolphin and whale sightings

The Gulf of Taranto is recognized as one of the best locations in Italy for observing dolphins and other cetaceans. However, sightings can be unpredictable due to varying factors, including weather conditions and the breeding seasons of different species.
