Note

Option 1: Whale Watching
Arrive at the Alassio Marina, meet the crew and marine biologist for a full-day excursion to the International Cetacean Sanctuary. You'll observe marine mammals in their natural environment, in full compliance with the international code of good conduct and regulations for their habitat. Aboard a comfortable vessel, you'll spot numerous different species, including striped dolphins, fin whales, sperm whales, Cuvier's beaked whales, Risso's dolphins, pilot whales, common dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins.
During the excursion, a pleasant snack featuring typical local products will be served on board.
The Whale Watching excursion will operate with a minimum of 10 passengers.

Option 2: Gallinara Island Tour with Swim
The islet's history is mysterious and fascinating: its name derives from a settlement of wild chickens. Hermitages have settled here over time, and during World War II, the island served as a base for the Wehrmacht thanks to its caves and tunnels. Now it is a priceless jewel, a site of community interest and a nature reserve with Mediterranean and tropical vegetation, a pristine habitat for seagulls and birds of prey. Arrive at the marina and meet the crew for a circumnavigation tour of the island. During the warmer months, a stop is planned for snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters around the island, with a snack included.
Available year-round. For summer excursions, a swimsuit and towel are recommended. For those who wish to snorkel, a mask, fins, and a snorkel are recommended. The diving center provides complete equipment free of charge for those who don't have their own.

And to round off these incredible adventures, everyone can dine at a restaurant in the historic center, which offers a menu featuring excellent Ligurian products paired with a selection of fish of the day.
