This 1-day trip begins and ends in Marrakech, with the option to extend your holiday in Morocco for a longer and more immersive experience. Discover one of Morocco’s most stunning natural wonders on a full-day trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, located in the Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt, about 150 kilometres north-east of Marrakech. At 110 metres high, the falls are the tallest and most beautiful in the country, making this a perfect escape from the city. Along the way, enjoy several scenic stops to take photos of the changing landscapes. Once at the falls, you’ll have the opportunity to swim at the base of the waterfall, or if you prefer, take a short boat ride across the river for a different perspective. A guided walk through the olive groves offers the chance to spot wild Barbary apes and take in the peaceful surroundings. Lunch will be served at a typical local restaurant, just a few metres from the falls, offering lovely views and authentic Moroccan flavours. The word “Ouzoud” comes from the Berber language and means the act of grinding grain. As you explore the area, you may come across old water mills, a reminder of the traditional way of life still present in the region. This day trip offers a mix of nature, relaxation, light adventure, and cultural insight, ideal for couples, families, or anyone wanting to explore Morocco’s countryside in just one day.

Itinerary

  • Day 1: Marrakech – Ouzoud Waterfalls - Marrakech

    In a comfortable transport, discover the most dramatic of Morocco's waterfalls, with overhanging cafés and pools to plunge into. Ouzoud waterfalls! At a height of 100 meters, The Cascades d'Ouzoud are the most spectacular in Morocco, their amphitheatre of waterfalls falling into pools in a lush valley that remains invisible till the last moment. Arriving at the foot of waterfalls, you can indulge in the joys of swimming. But if swimming does not appeal to you, enjoy a great moment on the back of a small boat to cross the river. We will offer a walk through olive groves to explore the Barbary apes. Lunch at a typical restaurant a few meters from the falls.
