Dolphin Discovery Excursion with Breakfast on Board
Are you passionate about marine conservation and looking for a meaningful way to connect with the sea? This sailing tour from Vulcano or Lipari is perfect for those who want to explore the Aeolian Islands at sunrise, enjoy the tranquility of the early morning, and actively take part in a unique wildlife observation experience. On board, you’ll become part of a small research crew dedicated to dolphin and cetacean watching. We’ll sail gently through the crystal-clear waters of the Aeolian Islands, scanning the sea for signs of life: a fin, a blow, a leap. With guidance from experienced marine observers, you'll learn how to spot dolphins just like a professional. During the excursion, you’ll gain insight into cetacean behavior, use tools like a hydrophone to listen to underwater sounds, and discover how photo-identification helps researchers study these incredible marine mammals. All of this unfolds in the peaceful light of dawn, as the sun rises over the islands, coloring the sky and sea with soft pink and orange hues. A moment of pure serenity, completed by a fresh breakfast served on board, featuring local flavors and an unbeatable view. Leave the noise behind and experience the sea with respect, silence, and wonder. An unforgettable eco-tourism experience of dolphin watching in the Aeolian Islands.
