What to expect
Expect a gentle pace through shaded woodland paths where your guide discusses the interplay between Ustica's native species and their habitat. You'll pause to engage physically with trees, understanding how living organisms communicate through vibration and energy exchange. As light fades, the group gathers at an optimal vantage point where your guide explains atmospheric refraction and the conditions needed to witness the green ray—that elusive flash of colour sometimes visible at the horizon during sunset. Bring water; soft-soled walking shoes recommended.
