Waste of money, better ways to see flamingoes
Parco Naturale Molentargius-Saline的点评
点评:This is an underwhelming excursion. If you wish to see flamingos please read on for advice below on seeing them nearby - without paying for a 90-min 'tour'.
Firstly, this Parco is huge and the main entrance not easily accessible. The PF and PQ buses drop off within 800 metres, otherwise you'll need a car/super expensive local taxi to reach.
Main reception is clean, with a nice coffee shop and toilets.
We joined a small, open air electric buggy for the 90 min tour. Sadly, the tour host didn't speak good English - it's not fair to take non-Italian customers and not be able to give them good information. There's no audio guide.
The tour involves driving on a loop circuit, with a dull explanation of passing sights like the man made canals, electricity station and abandoned salt mine. After 45mins we stopped to 'see' flamingos on the giant Lake - they were really far away and only viewed through the guide's super long binocular which was perched on a high tripod.
There are other birds on the wetland, and we saw them too, such as crows and egrets. We stayed there for 45 mins and then returned.
Didn't break the bank for 25 euros per head but it was a dull 90 minutes. Frustrating because the wetlands can always be a great, educational visit with the right customer-centric thinking.
I can see why local cyclists, dog-owners and walkers would regularly visit this huge site. But tourists who want to get close to flamingos should drive/walk/cycle to a location close to the Rodeo Steakhouse near Poetto Beach.
We cycled eastwards up Lungo Mar del Golfo - the road parallel to Poetto Beach - and when we reached the La Marinella restaurant we swung a left on to the Viale C Colombo bridge. Cross the bridge, turn right and walk along a small track near the water edge for 100m. There's small holes in the greenery/bushes. Go through them and you can walk down and see a few hundred flamingos quite close up. Enjoy.
翻译:这次旅行实在令人失望。如果您想看火烈鸟,请继续阅读以下关于附近观赏的建议——无需支付90分钟的“游览”费用。
首先,这个公园很大,主入口不太好进。PF和PQ巴士在800米内下车,否则您需要开车或乘坐价格昂贵的当地出租车才能到达。
主接待处很干净,有一家不错的咖啡馆和洗手间。
我们参加了90分钟的小型露天电动四轮车之旅。可惜的是,导游的英语不太好——带着非意大利游客却无法提供足够的信息,这很不公平。而且没有语音导览。
这次旅行需要沿着环形路线行驶,沿途会有一些枯燥乏味的解说,比如人工运河、发电站和废弃的盐矿。 45分钟后,我们停下来“看”大湖上的火烈鸟——它们离我们很远,只能通过导游架在高高的三脚架上的超长双筒望远镜才能看到。
湿地上还有其他鸟类,我们也看到了,比如乌鸦和白鹭。我们在那里待了45分钟,然后返回。
每人25欧元的价格不算太贵,但这90分钟却很无聊。令人沮丧的是,只要秉持以客户为中心的理念,湿地之旅总是可以成为一次精彩且富有教育意义的体验。
我理解为什么当地的骑行者、养狗者和步行者会定期造访这个巨大的景点。但想要近距离观赏火烈鸟的游客应该开车/步行/骑自行车到Poetto海滩附近Rodeo牛排馆附近的一个地方。
我们骑车向东沿着Lungo Mar del Golfo——与Poetto海滩平行的道路——到达La Marinella餐厅后,左转进入Viale C Colombo桥。过桥后右转,沿着靠近水边的一条小路走100米。绿地/灌木丛中有一些小洞。穿过它们,你可以走下去,近距离观赏几百只火烈鸟。好好享受吧。
