Agadir: ATV Quad Ride Wild Beach, Dunes & Forest with Snacks

Summary

ATV quad adventure in Agadir with wild dunes, Berber village stop and tea

You’ll ride an ATV quad from Agadir through argan forests, over wild sand dunes and along Takad’s beach—with a stop for mint tea and cakes in a local home. Expect friendly guides, hotel pickup included, and glimpses into Berber village life you might not see otherwise. It’s sandy, sometimes bumpy, but honestly pretty unforgettable.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous when we first pulled up to Lamzar village, about 15 km south of Agadir. The quads looked sturdy enough but my hands still got that tingly feeling (you know the one). Our guide Youssef grinned and handed out helmets — he called me “chef” for some reason. After a quick briefing (mostly “don’t go too fast!”), we kicked up dust along these dirt tracks lined with argan trees. The air smelled faintly sweet and earthy; I kept thinking about how far the city felt already.

We passed rows of greenhouses — didn’t expect so many out here — and Youssef pointed out which ones grew tomatoes for the souks. There were kids waving from the side of the road. Then suddenly the sand changed under our wheels, softer somehow, and we hit these low dunes that made my stomach drop in a good way. There was this moment where you could see the Atlantic shimmering just beyond Takad’s wild beach. Wind in your face, salt in the air — it’s hard to explain but it felt wide open and kind of peaceful at the same time.

Halfway through, we stopped at a local house for mint tea and these crumbly cakes. The woman who served us had henna on her hands; she smiled when I tried to thank her in broken French. Sitting there with sand still stuck to my boots, sipping hot tea while everyone just sort of exhaled together… I still think about that moment. On the way back we zigzagged through Takad village’s alleys — kids playing football in bare feet, laundry flapping between mud walls — before hitting more bumpy countryside tracks that rattled my bones (in a fun way). I don’t know if I’ll ever get all that sand out of my socks.
