Reviews

excellet Ouzoud Falls day trip from Marrakech

Sandra A – Nov 2021:

An excellent day tour to do while in Marrakech to see Morocco's tallest waterfall! Our guide and driver were both really nice and pleasant; our guide provided us with useful insights about Ouzoud and was very helpful in navigating the big region. Extremely good value, and I would strongly advise taking a boat ride to properly appreciate the falls much closer.

Absolutely fantastic tour to Ouzoud Cascades

Adolfo D – Oct 2021:

The day trip was fantastic! The guide was super nice and took us via the village's narrow roads to the waterfall's source. My kid adored being able to play with the monkeys! The mini boat ride was spectacular! It's a destination you should visit at least once in your life.

Amazing sceneries!

Andreia F – Oct 2021:

Despite the fact that the travel was quite long, it was well worth it. Brahim, our guide, took us to an Argan oil cooperative and down to the waterfalls on foot, which provided us with a breathtaking scenery of the waterfalls. Arriving at the bottom, swimming, and a delicious traditional meal at the base of the waterfalls. Wonderful day! Yould definitely recommend
