About
My birdwatching tours are organized in a very ecological and "slow" way: it is in fact possible to participate in small groups. During the itinerary we make some stops to observe the animals. The optical instruments available to participants allow them to capture moments of nature from a considerable distance, and then enjoy photographic shots. In the summer period there are often large groups of flamingos (some thousands), but also other very beautiful and fascinating species such as shelducks, avocets, black-winged stilts, oystercatchers and terns. Having this experience means discovering the fascinating naturalistic and landscape heritage of Pialassa Baiona and, together, retracing the evolution of the territory from the time of the Romans to the present day, touching first-hand the intertwining of nature, history (with the Garibaldi tradition and the Resistance) and the life of the valley's inhabitants.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- lenam2180 contributionsSmall scale excursions, great nature experiences!I’ve taken several tours with Giacomo Benelli/Birdwatching Marina Romea over the years, sometimes bringing friends, sometimes family. Every time, we got to experience something new. In an intimate/small scale setting you get to experience birds in their true habitats, always on nature’s terms. With great knowledge, love and respect for the the birds, and attention to his clients, Giacomo Benelli will guide you to great nature experiences.Written June 9, 2020
- BolasBug0 contributionsA real must do! Peace and nature away from the crowdsThe boat trip we did on the Laguna was absolutely stunning. The local guide is really knowledgeable about everything related to the flora and the fauna but also on the local history. I really like the fact that he is only operating with smaller boats, it feels like a tailor made experience just for you! A real must do when you are visiting the area, well worth a detour. I will definitely do it again.Written June 6, 2020

We made the complete tour of the Pialassa Baiona, admired pink flamingos, swans, seacocks, herons, marangoni, knights of Italy and many others... We witnessed a fantastic sunset. Giacomo was nice and professional with us and had a great approach with the little girl.
Esperienza sorprendente!!!

Giacomo came highly regarded and we were looking forward to our time on the water. We spent around 3 hours quietly moving around the Pillassa Baio by boat observing the wildlife up close.
Giacomo was a very interesting and knowledgeable guide and opened our eyes to many species of bird. His boat was very stable and comfortable. And he provided some excellent binoculars and other viewing equipment - all top notch Leica models.
An excellent tour.

Guacamole was a great guide for our trip. He knew both the birds and the history of the lagoon. It was a really fun and informative trip, made even better by the snacks and beverages he provided. We had never expected to see flamingos in this area, but there were hundreds of them. Highly recommend this excursion.

My first day in Ravenna was spent on the water with Giacomo. He is a delightful and informative guide. I love his little boat and how the exotic birds ignored our presence. I was stunned when we came around a bend and saw the magnificent birds. The activities of humans along the waterways were fascinating. After seeing all the nets for catching eels, we were able to attend the Eel Festival. Just a great outing.

This tour was all I had hoped for. Who could ask for more… colorful oyster catchers, flicks of flamingoes, a rare turtle sighting, shell ducks, and more. Giacomo is a fantastic guide, He’s friendly, very knowledgeable, and he speaks perfect English. (Yet he was kind enough to speak slowly in Italian to me since I’m just learning the language). Take the time to take this tour!

A beautiful trip through the lagoon with, flamingos, swans and other waterfowl.
Giacomo was the perfect guide, easygoing, knowledgable, and familiar with the flora, fauna, and local history. We would happily go out again with him.

I went on this fantastic trip with my mum in her 70’s and my brother. Our day out with him in Marina Romeo was the highlight of our trip to Ravenna- it was such fun we spent the next day with Giacomo too on a guided walk
We saw sooo many birds- including flamingoes, many waders, egrets, spoonbills and May more. Landscape was amazing. Boat very comfortable and Giacomo so knowledgeable. Was such fun for avid bird watchers like my Mum and novices like me, alike. Thank you and hope to come back.

This was an absolutely fabulous tour. Giacomo is an expert guide- very knowledgeable and friendly. You will tour on and off the boat. We saw flamingos, white and black swans, grey puffers, coumarins, kingfishers, herons, and leaping fish. It is off the typical tourist path but well worth the trip. I would recommend to anyone wanting to experience another side of Ravenna or who is interested in nature. The sunset is unforgettable, as is the experience.
