# Ponta de São Lourenço (PR 8) - Hiking Tour in Madeira

**Guidekin's take:** A guided walk along the bare rocky headland at the eastern tip of the island, with views to both coasts, a local guide, minivan transport from Funchal and Caniço and insurance. Moderate fitness is enough; the trail fee, snacks and water are not included and it runs rain or shine. 4.94 from 33 reviews at €48 per person for 6h.

In our comparison: #20 of 48 in Nature & Wildlife, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).
