“Notified the day prior of the pick up time (0845) & messaged on the day by the driver so good communication. The drive was 1hr 15 mins to the Ourika Valley & we were in a smaller minivan with only 8 of us on the tour which was good. We stopped off at an Argan oil cooperative which was one of the more large ones I saw in Morocco. They seem to be a part of any trip here however it was good that our driver let us leave when we wanted to. We also stopped at a view point to take pics. We then finished the drive to the…”

Brahim the guide was excellent, very accommodating and always eager to make sure everyone was okay and enjoying themselves. The food served at the riverside cafe was very tasty, so we’d suggest including the add-on lunch to your booking. The hike to the waterfalls was great as well. We’d recommend wearing relatively sturdy shoes as the terrain is quite rocky.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,435 reviews · 9 - 10 hours · from $14

Leave Marrakech around 8am for Ouzoud Waterfalls, a 2.5-hour drive through villages and Atlas views. Walk beside the falls with a local guide such as Hamid Tarzan, stop for monkey photos, and take an optional boat ride under the spray. Lunch is available at a restaurant overlooking the cataracts. Return is expected around 6pm.

“Excellent transportation, careful driver. This tour is mostly suitable for amateur tourists meaning those who don't like to prepare for the trip on their own for instance do not learn by heart all the route, chose casual clothes, is okay with a leisurely pace of moving. Because you will be kinda chained to the group. Definitely you have an option to walk nearby by your own route without any guidance but the guide will not expose the exact time that you have. So actually you will have to follow the group (3 euro donation) not to miss the departure back to home. But we enjoyed, amazing place despite we were…”

Leave Marrakech for Ouzoud Waterfalls on a roughly 10-hour shared trip with pickup, air-conditioned transport, and a professional driver. At the falls, you can hire a local guide for about €3, take a short boat ride for €2, follow a rocky walking route, spot Barbary macaques, and eat lunch overlooking the water.

“Un panorama exceptionnel qui se mérite : 2h30 de route allée, idem au retour avec un mini bus où la climatisation ne fonctionnait pas avec la chaleur. Bien mettre une tenue confortable et des chaussures de marche, après le trajet il faudra marcher une petite heure dans un chemin escarpé. Pas de baignade à l'arrivée mais une vue à couper le souffle, une balade en radeau rafraîchissante et la compagnie des singes en remontant.”
