Fin Whale & Dolphin Whale Watching – Golfo del Paradiso (Liguria)

Multiple Ligurian operators run whale watching excursions in the Pelagos Sanctuary from Camogli, Genoa, Savona and Portofino. Golfo Paradiso operates from Camogli — crew includes marine biologist and experienced sanctuary spotter. 4-hour excursions. No-sighting guarantee: if no cetaceans seen a second trip is free within 1 year. BMC Sea Tours (Savona) also recommended — expert spotters Simone and Ettore with 20-minute cetology video lesson before departure. Striped dolphins most common (65%); sperm and fin whales regularly seen in peak summer (July–September best). Half-hour from shore the deep underwater canyons of the Ligurian Sea concentrate prey and therefore cetaceans close to the Italian coast. One of the most reliable locations in the Mediterranean for fin whale photography. Free second trip guarantee policy exceptional for wildlife tourism.
