Sea and Cetaceans

By choosing one of our “Ligurian Sea and Great Whales” Experiences, you can enjoy a unique adventure, whether you are staying in Liguria or on the French Riviera.

You will come into contact with the protected marine life of the Pelagos Sanctuary, explore the wrecks of ancient ships dating back to ancient Rome, and immerse yourself in the maritime tradition of the Italian and French Rivieras, which has roots in Greek and Phoenician times.

Nyala Wonder Travel will take you to sail the seas once ventured by the ships of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans, drawn by an inland rich in valuable raw materials.
Imperia, Albenga, Genoa, Antibes, and Monte Carlo are all cities along the Ligurian Riviera and the French Riviera that can help you discover a unique marine heritage.

Ask Nyala Wonder Travel to organize a custom tour for you, such as Whale Watching in the Pelagos Cetacean Sanctuary or guided tours of Naval and Oceanographic Museums to learn about the history of the seas. This could be an educational journey for both young and old.
