Sandboarding and Quad Biking at Timlaline Dunes, Agadir

This half-day outing near Agadir puts two dune activities into one trip: a sandboarding session on the Timlaline dunes, followed by an hour on a quad bike through the surrounding countryside. It is a good fit for friends, couples and active families who want a mix of speed and scenery. Groups are capped at 15, children can join from age 3, and guides speak English, French, German and Arabic. After hotel pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, the drive north takes about an hour along the Atlantic, through the surf villages of Aourir and Taghazout to Tamri, known locally as the Banana Village. This is where the Timlaline dunes sit, close to the ocean, and where both activities take place. Your guides start with the basics of sandboarding and keep sharing tips as you go. The dunes vary in steepness, so you can begin on an easy slope and move up to a bigger drop once you feel ready, or stay where you are comfortable. Sandboards are provided, and you work through the different levels at your own pace. Once you have tried them all, you swap the board for a quad bike for a one-hour ride around Timlaline, close to the sand and the sea, with open countryside all around you. It is a lively change from climbing and sliding, and a chance to see more of the landscape beyond the sand. Hotel pickup and drop-off, transport, the sandboards and the quad bike are included. Lunch and drinks are not, so bring water and a snack. Pickup is available from hotels in Agadir, Taghazout, Tamraght, Paradis Plage and Aourir, and from Agadir Cruise Port. Depending on the departure you choose, you are back at your hotel by about 2:00 PM or by about 8:00 PM. Wear closed shoes and clothes you do not mind getting sandy, and bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a scarf for the quad ride. Sandboarding and quad biking at Timlaline make for a full, active half day, only an hour's drive up the coast from Agadir.
