Sunset Sandboarding with Mint Tea near Agadir

This sunset sandboarding trip near Agadir is timed so you ride the dunes in the golden hour, then sit down to Moroccan mint tea and cakes as the day winds down. Instruction and all equipment are provided, so you do not need to have tried sandboarding before. It suits couples, friends and families who would rather have a late-day activity than give up a whole day of their holiday. Pickup is from your hotel in Agadir, Taghazout, Tamraght, Paradis Plage or Aourir, or from Agadir Cruise Port, in an air-conditioned vehicle. On the way you make two short stops of around ten minutes each: one to see the colourful houses of Aghroud, and one at Tamri, the Banana Village. A small local banana is included along the way. At the dunes your instructor sets you up with a board and shows you how to ride before your first slide. As the sun drops lower, the sand takes on a warm glow and the shadows stretch out, so every run doubles as a chance for photos. You can ride as much or as little as you like. When the light fades, it is time for mint tea and Moroccan cakes, a classic way to end the day in Morocco, before the drive back to your hotel. Water, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are not included, so bring a bottle of water with you. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and take a warm layer for the evening. Most travellers can join, and the trip is stroller accessible, with infant seats available and service animals allowed. It is not wheelchair accessible, and it is not recommended for travellers with back problems, heart conditions or other serious medical conditions, or during pregnancy. Guides speak English, French, German and Arabic. Sunset sandboarding with mint tea is an easy, low-key way to see the dunes near Agadir at their most photogenic.
