Giglio Island the Pet Friendly Holiday

L'Giglio Island is a coveted half for many, men, women and also, especially, animals; especially during the warm season, from spring to autumn. An almost unspoiled environment and the wild and rugged nature, the distance from city life create the ideal space for those who choose a vacation of wellness and relaxation for themselves and also for our four-legged friends who here, find their natural dimension. From the ferry to the accommodation, passing through the beaches and towns, it is always allowed to travel in the company of your pet and in any case you will find people ready to welcome them with affection and sympathy as long as you follow some small behavioral rules and simple expedients.

Access to Shipboard

Animals of all species and sizes are always allowed on board ships, as long as they have a ticket. So remember your pet when purchasing your travel ticket or booking. The cost of the ticket on our ships is about 5 euros.

Small pets must be transported with the appropriate pet carrier. While for those of medium or large size, it is necessary to be equipped with a muzzle and leash.

For guide dogs, the bridge crossing is free of charge. A number of places reserved for the blind and their companions whether two-legged or four-legged are available inside the Salon Bar, along with a number of assistance services for Persons with Reduced Mobility activated at the time of booking.

During navigation it is always advised to keep one's four-legged friend under surveillance, especially at the busiest times to avoid bothering other passengers, or in rough seas to prevent him or her from becoming frightened.

Access to Beaches

Access to free beaches is regulated by the municipal regulation effective as of June 1 to September 30 which defines some important behavioral rules to be followed to enable everyone to enjoy the common spaces to the fullest:

animal access at free beaches Is limited to specific times. It tends to be possible to take the dog in the morning until 7 a.m., while in the evening you can let it run free on the sand from 8 p.m. onward.
access to bathing establishments, is regulated differently depending on the management of the facility. There are a number of bathing establishments in Giglio Campese. Pet Friendly that allow you to keep your four-legged friend with you. Clearly, these directions are not to be considered valid in the case of "Guide dogs for the blind and to patented dogs from the rescue on a leash";

The island, however, gives beautiful hidden coves Where there are no rules of any kind. Here you can comfortably spend the entire day with your four-legged friend. These are often isolated places sometimes difficult to reach, due to long dirt paths, sometimes less so where the paths are easier to navigate. It is always possible to reach these places by boat, renting it in Giglio Porto or Giglio Campese. In any case, in these places you can enjoy at the same time the company of your pet and the most beautiful views of the island.
The last indication concerns the masters, who must always be provided with a leash and muzzle, as well as a everything needed to pick up the dog's needs not only when accessing beaches or coves, but and especially when walking around small towns.

Access to Public Transportation- Buses

Access to the public transportation that provides service on the island, that is, the buses that connect the three countries, is a bit more complicated and subject to stricter regulations; this is also due to the conformation of the transportation means themselves.

For all the small animals who do not occupy a seat is allowed thefree access In the amount of one animal per person. All must always be transported in special carriers that protect them from contact with the outside world.

For the medium or large dogs access is allowed with leash and muzzle To be used at all times throughout the trip. Except for guide dogs intended to assist the blind.

I masters are always called upon to supervise their animal by ensuring that it does not cause damage to cars, soil or disturb other passengers. Always within the limits of what is possible so that everyone can travel serenely in the best way possible.

In some cases, especially when crowded, the cabin crew may decide not to allow the animal on board, to protect the animal and other passengers. Again, the cabin crew may decide to remove the animal if it inconveniences other passengers or if dangerous situations arise.

If you want to avoid using public transportation, especially during high season, when it is more crowded you can use the cab service collective that always leaves from Giglio Porto and connects the entire island.
