In Cagliari, Sardinia's Quirks and Traditions Remain Center Stage | Condé Nast Traveler

"Adjacent to Poetto, Molentargius‑Saline Regional Natural Park is a brackish lagoon system where herons, egrets, harriers, and flamingos breed—I observed the pink flamingos and the salt pans that define the landscape." - Catherine Fairweather

The way it G.

We rented 2 push bikes for an independent tour. No guides. You can rent them for 2 hours for a nominal fee. It's free to walk. Bus tours are available. Takes you to some restricted areas. Friendly staff and helpful. Best to take water and a hat. It was warm and exposed but breezy. The office has a little coffee shop and toilet facilites. Beautiful and quite scenic. Very few Flamingos were left in the colony as they have started their migratory journey. We were lucky to have spotted a few Flamingos across the parking lot before entering the park. They were mostly white with a little toycb of flamingo 🦩 pink on their wings. We visited end of Aug. I believe best would be to go during summer. It was still worth the visit. We would go again as we enjoyed the bike ride along the scenic sea salt harvesting ponds and so many other birds and turtles etc.

It is really spacious area. People ride on the bikes, walk, children play football etc. I used a free car park nearby. Also there is possible to watch the flamingos 🦩 and feed donkeys 🫏

We visited a park known for its flamingos. Be aware that there's absolutely no shade, and the walk under the sun can be quite long. You can also do the route by bike, depending on your preference. We took the shorter trail and it still took us almost two hours. I highly recommend bringing plenty of water and a hat, as there are no refreshment options along the way. The flamingos can only be seen from a distance. If we had been better prepared for the sun, it would have been a beautiful walk (or ride) along the river or canal and past salt basins. But I guess I was expecting a bit more from the experience.

This park is the biggest disappointment ever! Don't go there, it is waste of time and energy. Map at the entrance is very missleading. Many routes are closed and from view points you have view to bushes... There is only one point from which flamingos are visible but there are very far away. Photos here on google seem like you are going to be next to flamingo, but there were simply done with good photocamera...

Flamingos!!:-)) Very kind staff, great English, you can visit for free and see flamingos, you can also rent a bike for 10€/2hours. There was also a bus / guided option i think. I did the free visit by foot which was easily walkable. And after five minutes I already saw many flamingos 🦩 🥰 great experience! Remember to bring a hat and a bottle of water if you go during the hotter season. Inside the info point there’s also a cafe with very friendly staff, coffee, coke etc and even pistachio croissants!🥐 :-) 100% recommend if you want to see flamingos in their Cagliari habitat of salinas :-)

Beautiful park, very clean and well maintained. Can be a little confusing to navigate within the park as there are few signs. Clean bathrooms and a cafe at the visitors center.

We were looking forward to seeing flamingos. We could see flocks on our way from the airport and expected to see many more and from smaller distance. We were seated on a small electric van with 10 seats. Each participant was given a binocular and a large one was carried and installed by our guide. Unfortunately, her English was very poor. That was surely a pity because she alternated Italian and English explanations and she passionately said so much in Italian (we couldn't understand) and very little in English. Seeing birds in binoculars was exciting. I recommend buying tickets online as on the first occasion we got here there were no places left and we had zo leave ... Still I am not sure if it was worth 25 euros/person. We drove mostly in publicly accessible places. Probably I would recommend renting bikes and binoculars.

The park is huge, we took advantage of the tour, for which we paid 25 euros. It turned out that we were lucky and we were the only people for that hour, so we had a private tour. The guide was great, he told very interesting stories. We had access to parts that are closed to regular visitors, we were given binoculars and we could admire the flamingos through a telescope. There were thousands of them and the view of them flying above us was amazing. It is definitely worth spending this money.
