Sandboarding in Agadir: Learn on Timlaline Dunes

Slide down golden dunes with instruction built for your level

Sandboarding on Timlaline Dunes near Agadir is a half-day activity where you learn to ride sand slopes with an expert guide, visit a hidden canyon for photos, and return by early afternoon or sunset. The guide teaches techniques adapted to all levels. Lunch at a local house, bottled water, and air-conditioned transport are included. Children from age 1 are welcome. A moderate level of physical fitness is needed.

The experience

What does it actually feel like to sandboard? You start with a coastal drive from Agadir toward Taghazout, heading to Timlaline Dunes. Before you strap on a board, the guide takes you to a secret canyon: a stop built into the morning or evening so you can photograph the landscape without the rush. The canyon visit frames the dunes you're about to ride: it's the view before the action.

Once at the dunes, the guide equips you with a sandboard and walks through the sliding technique. The slopes are graded for different abilities, so whether you've never stood on a board or you've tried it before, there's a run that matches where you are. You spend the bulk of the five hours actually riding, not watching a demonstration, but learning by doing on the sand itself. The guide stays with the group, adjusting the pitch and the coaching as people find their rhythm.

Lunch happens at a local house, a break built into the schedule rather than something you hunt for. You get bottled water throughout, and the air-conditioned vehicle means the drive back isn't a hot slog. Morning departures return around 2:00 pm. Sunset runs bring you back around 8:00 pm. A live guide speaks English, French, or Arabic depending on your group.
