Frequently asked questions
Why go through Toliara?
It is the gateway city of the south-west: the airport links it to Antananarivo, and the roads to the coast and the interior start here. Boat crossings south (Anakao, Sarodrano) are also arranged from Toliara.
What is there to see in town?
The port, the market and the seafront set the pace of the city. Toliara stays above all a base for reaching the coast and the parks.
How do you get around Toliara?
On foot, and above all by rickshaw (posy-posy): the bicycle-pulled rickshaw is the city’s emblematic transport, everywhere in the streets. Agree the fare before you get in.
