Bird watching

The Pelagos Sanctuary is not only home to cetaceans, but is also inhabited by many species of seabirds, which you can observe and learn to recognize both during our whale watching trips and, especially, during the tours and excursions organized specifically for bird watching lovers. The species we have encountered over the years are ninety-three! Below you will find a description of the activities, the schedule, the rates and the links to make your reservations.

A photo gallery with some of the pictures taken on board can be seen by clicking here while clicking here you will find the complete check list of the birds that, over the years, have been spotted on board our motorboat.

The place of departure is in GENOA PORTO ANTICO, at the beginning of Spinola Pier, where is set the Aquarium of Genoa.
