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 will meet at Porto Canale in Marina di Ginosa and set sail to find these marine animals. During the boat trip, we will share legends about the province of Taranto, known as "Taras" in ancient times, and discuss the significance of the sea in Apulia. Once far from the coast, we will search for dolphins and sperm whales swimming in the Ionian Sea.

You'll witness these animals jumping and swimming next to the boat. After 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 one of the best places in Italy for seeing dolphins and cetaceans. However, sightings can vary due to factors such as weather and the breeding seasons of different species.
