Paradise Valley Tours from Agadir
Paradise Valley is a palm-lined canyon in the Atlas foothills behind Agadir, with natural rock pools you can swim in. The drive there passes through Banana Village and a string of Berber villages before the road climbs into the green mountains. The half-day trip gives you about an hour at the pools inside a five-hour round trip. The two full-day options spend around four hours in the valley, including a women’s cooperative garden and a viewpoint over the Atlas, then continue to the coast at Tamri for a wild beach, the dunes and lunch.

Choosing between the three Paradise Valley trips
The half-day trip is the one to book if you want the pools and little else. After pickup in Agadir or Taghazout, you drive inland through Banana Village and several Berber villages, spend about an hour swimming and walking in the valley, and are back at your hotel around five hours after you left. Entry to the valley is included, groups are capped at 20, and the vehicle has WiFi on board.
The Paradise Valley and Tamri dunes day is for a slower look at both places. Around four hours go to the valley, with a boutique and a women’s cooperative garden, a viewpoint over the Atlas and the pools, then the road turns to the coast at Tamri for the wild beach, a tajine lunch with seasonal fruit at a local home and the dunes. Admission to Tamri is included and the day runs about nine hours.
The Paradise Valley and sandboarding day follows the same shape, with the women’s cooperative, the viewpoint and the pools in the morning, then lunch with mint tea on the coast and a sandboarding session on the dunes near Tamri. It is the longest of the three at around ten and a half hours, with groups limited to 15.
What you see in the valley
The road in is part of the trip: Banana Village, then Berber villages, then the green heart of the mountains. In the valley the path leads through palm groves to the rock pools in the canyon, where the time is yours to swim, rest by the water and take photos. On the full-day trips you also stop at a women’s cooperative and its garden and at a panoramic viewpoint over the Atlas.
The coast at Tamri on the full-day trips
After the valley, both full days head north along the coast to Tamri, where the landscape opens onto a wild beach and sand dunes that run down to the Atlantic. On the dunes day you walk the beach, eat a tajine at a local home and spend the afternoon on the dunes; on the sandboarding day the guides hand out boards and help you pick a slope, so you end the day riding the sand.
Practical details
Guides speak English and French. Bring swimwear, a towel, water, sun protection and shoes that can handle a rocky path. The trips depend on good weather: if one is cancelled for bad weather, you are offered another date or a full refund. The half-day also needs a minimum number of travellers, with the same choice if it is not reached. Every trip can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start, and the price per person is shown on each listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions travellers ask us most.
Half-day or full-day: which Paradise Valley trip should I book?
The half-day trip is about five hours door to door with roughly an hour in the valley, and it picks up in both Agadir and Taghazout. The full days spend around four hours in the valley and then head to the coast at Tamri: one adds the wild beach and dunes with a tajine lunch at a local home (about nine hours), the other adds sandboarding on the dunes with lunch and mint tea (about ten and a half hours).
Can I swim in Paradise Valley?
Yes. The natural pools are a good place for a swim, so bring swimwear and a towel. On the half-day trip you also have time to walk among the palm groves and take in the canyon.
Is lunch included?
Not on the half-day trip, where bottled water and soft drinks are not included either, so bring your own water. On the Tamri dunes full day, lunch is a tajine with seasonal fruit at a local home, with drinks extra. On the sandboarding full day, lunch with mint tea is included and other drinks are not.
Where can I be picked up?
The half-day trip picks up at all Agadir hotels, in Aourir, Taghazout, Tamraght, Paradise Beach and Lunja Village, and at the Agadir port. The full days pick up at hotels in Agadir, Taghazout, Tamraght, Paradis Plage and Aourir and at the cruise port. You choose the point at checkout.
Is the trip suitable for children, and how fit do I need to be?
Children are welcome from the age of one and infant seats are available. A moderate level of fitness is needed for the walk to the pools. The trips are not wheelchair accessible and are not recommended for people with back or heart problems or for pregnant travellers.
