Tips
The Piton Maïdo culminates at 2,203 meters above sea level. This summit offers an exceptional view of the Cirque de Mafate.
The Maïdo, which means "scorched earth" in Malagasy is accessible by car. It is the starting point for several hikes and one of the entrances to the Cirque de Mafate. It is advisable to get there early before the clouds block the view.translated by

The Maido is the best known viewpoint on the island. From it one can look in the Mafate and on the Piton of the tilft
Early in the morning, the best time to do so is because of the clouds. If you want to go from there to the neighboring peaks, it is best to start in the dark, as they wrap themselves around noon more and more in clouds.translated by•September 2, 2017
Worthwhile vantage point! We were only around 11 clock and had a great view. Is probably always something individually, when the clouds come.
