Sandboarding near Agadir
The Timlaline dunes sit on the coast near Tamri, beyond Taghazout, where golden sand runs down towards the Atlantic. This is where our sandboarding sessions happen: the guides hand out the boards, explain the technique and point you to a slope that suits you, from gentle first runs to steeper faces. Pick a straight half-day session, a sunset run that ends with mint tea and Moroccan cakes, or build a bigger day by adding an hour on a quad, the pools of Paradise Valley, or a sunset camel ride and barbecue dinner. Every option includes hotel pickup.

Which sandboarding tour to pick
For a first go, the half-day session is the simplest: a drive along the coast with WiFi on board, a stop at a canyon for photos, then the dunes, where the guides help you choose a slope and you ride down and climb back up as many times as you like. Bottled water and a small local banana are included.
The sunset tour trades the canyon for the golden hour. After short stops at the colourful houses of Aghroud and at Tamri, the Banana Village, you sandboard as the light turns gold and finish with mint tea and Moroccan cakes. The sunset and canyon tour spends around 90 minutes at the dunes, adds a secret canyon with your guide and closes with the sun setting over the ocean.
If one activity is not enough, three combos share the same dunes: an hour on a quad through the countryside by the sea; a sunset camel ride followed by a barbecue dinner, in a group of no more than 12; or a full day that starts with four hours in Paradise Valley and ends on the dunes with lunch and mint tea.
What a session is like
At the dunes your guide hands out the boards and equipment and explains how to stand, balance and stop. The slopes vary in steepness, so you start on an easy run and work up to steeper faces at your own pace. There is no lift: every run means a walk back up the sand, which is where the legs get tired and the photos get taken.
On the sunset tours the light changes quickly in the last hour, and the session ends with the sun dropping into the Atlantic beyond the dunes.
What to wear and bring
Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a camera. Water is provided on the half-day tour; on the sunset tour with mint tea, bring your own, as water and soft drinks are not included. For the Paradise Valley combo, pack swimwear and a towel for the pools.
Pickup, timing and cancellation
Pickup is from your hotel in Agadir, Taghazout, Tamraght, Paradis Plage or Aourir, or from the Agadir cruise port, and you choose the point at checkout. Guides on the half-day speak English, French and Arabic; the sunset and canyon tour also runs in German. The sessions depend on the weather: if one is cancelled for bad weather, you are offered another date or a full refund, and every tour can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions travellers ask us most.
Do I need any sandboarding experience?
No. The guides teach the technique and give tips throughout, and because the dunes vary in steepness, each person can pick a run that feels right. The half-day session is open to all levels.
Where are the dunes and how do we get there?
The Timlaline (Timlalin) dunes are near Tamri, on the coast beyond Taghazout, facing the Atlantic. You are driven up the coast past Aourir and Tamraght; several tours stop at Aghroud on the way to see its colourful houses by the sea.
How long does a session last?
The half-day tour runs about five hours door to door and includes a canyon stop. The sunset tour with mint tea is around four hours, and the sunset and canyon tour about four and a half, with roughly 90 minutes at the dunes. The combos run from five hours (with the quad or the camel ride) to about ten and a half (with Paradise Valley and lunch).
What is included?
Boards and equipment, an air-conditioned vehicle and hotel or port pickup and drop-off on every tour. The half-day includes bottled water and a small local banana; the sunset tour includes mint tea and Moroccan cakes but not water. Lunch is only part of the Paradise Valley combo, and dinner only of the camel ride combo.
Can children join, and how fit do I need to be?
Yes. The half-day and the sunset and canyon tours take children from the age of one, with infant seats available, and the sandboarding and quad combo from three. Climbing back up the dune is the workout, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. The tours are not wheelchair accessible and are not recommended for people with back or heart problems or for pregnant travellers.
