Atlas Nomad

Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip with Boat Ride

Marrakech11 hoursmoderateUp to 16 peopleEN · FR · ES4.7(301)Rated 4.7 by 301 travellers

Overview

Ouzoud is a genuine natural spectacle: 110 metres of water in three stages, dropping into a gorge green with olive trees. A path of shallow steps switchbacks down beside the falls, and at the bottom small boats take passengers close enough to the base to feel the spray.

The resident Barbary macaques are wild and used to people. Your guide will show you where they gather; please do not feed them.

Lunch is at one of the terrace restaurants set directly above the drop, where a tagine costs a fraction of what it would in Marrakech.

    Exactly as described

    Booked three things through Atlas Nomad in a week and every pickup was on time. The driver on the Agafay trip went out of his way to find us a quieter spot for the sunset.

    Worth the early start

    A long day but the guide paced it well and never rushed us. Being able to pay the balance on the day made booking from home much easier.

    Très bien organisé

    Organisation impeccable et guide passionnant. Le déjeuner n était pas inclus, ce qui est clairement indiqué, mais prévoyez des espèces.
