Beyond the beach and Souk El Hed, Agadir is the gateway to a Morocco of hidden valleys, coastal villages and desert thrills. Here are the best day trips from Agadir to discover the region's many faces.
There are plenty of day trips from Agadir and activities to do while you are in the city. Beyond staying in town, heading to the beach or bargaining in Souk El Hed, the best way to see a different side of Agadir and Morocco is to take a day trip. Here are the best of them.
Located 58 km from Agadir, Paradise Valley is a great place for nature lovers and for visitors looking for a more relaxing atmosphere, far from the hectic life of big cities. This is the most popular day trip from Agadir. It is a small oasis with scenery that leaves its visitors speechless — clear natural pools for swimming, palm trees and plenty of cliff-jumping.
This is the best easy day trip you can plan. The park attracts bird watchers and offers a serene escape from the country's bustling cities. You are likely to see the widest range of species in March and April due to migratory patterns. Keep your eyes open for Bonelli's eagles, peregrine and Barbary falcons, and much more.
Located 19 km from Agadir, Taghazout beach is one of the main beaches Moroccans visit in summer, escaping the heat of the south. Taghazout is a small village popular as a surfing spot, attracting surfers from all over Morocco as well as tourists with its beautiful weather and high waves. Fishing is another popular activity practiced by locals and visitors alike.
Another popular beach for surfing, Imsouane is very easy to reach from Agadir. The village has an attractive red lighthouse. If you like seafood, this is the place to try a Moroccan seafood dish in one of the many good restaurants there — prepared straight from the ocean.
Beyond the beaches and the valley, Agadir is the perfect base for adrenaline-fuelled day trips into the desert. Eddyafa Travel arranges private, guided adventure excursions that blend the timeless romance of the Sahara with modern thrills.
