Amvrakikos Cruises does not simply offer marine tourism experiences; it is an active partner in the protection, monitoring, and scientific study of the unique ecosystem of the Amvrakikos Gulf. Through close collaborations with academic institutions and environmental initiatives, we support research efforts that contribute to the preservation of wildlife and the natural wealth of the area.

Collaboration with the University of Thessaly

Our company has established an official collaboration with the Laboratory of Hydrobiology & Ichthyology of the University of Thessaly, supporting scientific research related to marine mammals.
Our contribution includes:

• support in the collection of biological material and data,
• participation in taxonomic, genetic, and ecological studies of dolphin populations,
• reinforcement of long-term monitoring of marine mammals and environmental threats,
• public awareness and education on the importance of marine protection.

With our daily presence in the field, we act as a key link between researchers and the wildlife of the Amvrakikos.

Support of University of Patras Research

At the same time, Amvrakikos Cruises actively supports research programs of the University of Patras by providing field access, observational data, and logistical support.
These collaborations help scientists better understand the biodiversity of the Amvrakikos and document the presence, behavior, and health status of marine species.

Member of SYMMAHIA for the Amvrakikos

We are also a proud member of SYMMAHIA, a collaborative alliance of organizations and institutions working together for the protection of the Amvrakikos Gulf.
Through this participation, we contribute to joint actions, conservation initiatives, and long-term strategies for a sustainable future of the ecosystem.

Our Commitment

As a local company operating daily within the Gulf, we feel a deep responsibility toward the environment that hosts us.
Our activity is not limited to guided tours;
we are an active partner in scientific research, protection, education, and the long-term conservation of the Amvrakikos Gulf.

Through these actions, Amvrakikos Cruises makes a meaningful contribution to the protection of the area’s natural wealth — today and for future generations.
