Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip

The Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip takes you from Marrakech to the highest waterfalls in Morocco, in the Middle Atlas about 2.5 hours away by road. Green slopes and steep cliffs surround the cascades, and walking paths lead around them to several viewpoints.

Your driver picks you up at your hotel or riad between 8:30 and 9:00 in a private air-conditioned vehicle reserved for your party. The road crosses countryside and traditional villages, and the drive takes around 2.5 to 3 hours each way. You are back in Marrakech between 17:00 and 18:00, a full day of about 9 to 10 hours.

At Ouzoud you follow the trails around the falls at your own pace, and you will probably meet the wild monkeys that live on the site. The walk is moderate and suits most travellers in comfortable shoes. Swimming may be possible, depending on the water level and conditions on the day. Lunch is free time: local restaurants face the waterfalls, and the meal is paid separately.

• Included: round-trip private transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, a professional driver and transport insurance.
• Not included: lunch, drinks and a guide. Your driver takes you there and back, and you explore the site on your own.
• Price: 640 MAD per adult and 250 MAD per child. Children under 12 pay the child price; children under 4 go free.
• Vehicle: private for your group, minimum 2 people.

Children are welcome under adult supervision, and the reduced children price helps for families. The walking requires basic fitness, so plan good shoes and some money for lunch by the falls.

Booking takes a minute: choose the date, enter the adults and children, and send the request. The local team contacts you to confirm the pickup time, and you pay on site on the day. You can cancel free of charge.

If you prefer a shorter day in the mountains, the Ourika Valley day trip stays about one hour from Marrakech.
