Day Trip from Agadir to Paradise Valley

  1. 1

    Agadir – Paradise Valley – Agadir

    approx. 1 h each way plus stops (≈ 60 km each way)

    We collect you from your Agadir hotel around 9 am and drive north along the coast to Aourir, known for its bananas, then inland up a winding road through argan trees and red-rock hills. After about an hour, we reach the parking area for Paradise Valley. From here, an easy-to-moderate walk of 30–45 minutes, with some rocky sections, leads down to the river and its turquoise pools, framed by palms. Spend the middle of the day swimming, relaxing in the shade or exploring further up the valley. Lunch is at a simple café or as a picnic. On the way back, we can stop at an argan cooperative, arriving in Agadir by mid to late afternoon.
