Agadir Sandboarding Dunes Tour & Berber Home Tea with Pickup

Summary

Sandboard the Taboga dunes from Agadir with tea at a Berber home

You’ll start with mint tea at a Berber family home near Agadir before heading out for real sandboarding on Taboga’s dunes. Expect warm bread for breakfast, laughter over tumbles in the sand, and time to catch sunset views above the Atlantic. It’s not polished or fancy—just honest moments you’ll remember after you brush off your shoes.

What’s the experience like?

I never thought sand could squeak under your feet like that—almost like fresh snow but warmer, if that makes sense. After an hour’s drive from Agadir (the road is mostly smooth but you’ll feel a few bumps), we stopped at this family house where our guide, Youssef, handed us glasses of mint tea before we’d even sat down. The steam smelled sweet and sharp. I tried to say “shukran” right and got a big grin from his aunt—she poured me another cup anyway.

Breakfast was simple—flatbread still warm, honey with a hint of wildflowers, olives. The house felt lived-in; there was a faded rug by the door and someone’s slippers tucked underneath a bench. Youssef told us about the dunes ahead, how locals come out here when they want quiet or to watch the sea meet the sand. I didn’t expect to feel nervous about sandboarding until I actually saw the slope—it looked steeper than it did in photos.

The first run is always clumsy (I fell twice and laughed harder than I meant to). The sand gets everywhere—inside your shoes, your sleeves—but it’s soft enough that you just brush off and try again. There were kids from the village watching us for a bit, shouting encouragement in French and Arabic. By late afternoon, the light turned gold and everything felt slower. We climbed up for photos at the top—windy up there—and watched the sun dip behind Taboga’s hills. I still think about that view sometimes when my shoes are full of city dust instead of sand.
