Day trip to Ouzoud Waterfalls from Marrakech

Ten hours at North Africa's highest waterfalls, with monkeys, birds and a meal cooked in the valley

A day trip from Marrakech to Ouzoud Waterfalls takes you to the highest and most spectacular cascade in North Africa, with a live guide, air-conditioned transport and lunch at a small local restaurant in the region. The route is a hop-on-hop-off format that lets you spend time at the falls themselves and move through the Ouzoud region at your own pace within the day. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The tour suits all fitness levels.

The experience

The Ouzoud Waterfalls are the draw: a series of cascades that drop into a river valley where monkeys and birds live year-round. You travel from Marrakech in an air-conditioned vehicle with a live guide who speaks English, Spanish or French, depending on your group. The route follows what the operator calls the Cascades of Ouzoud, a hop-on-hop-off itinerary that gives you flexibility to linger at viewpoints or walk down closer to the water instead of moving through on a fixed schedule.

Lunch happens at one of the small local restaurants in the valley: a traditional tajine cooked and served in the region itself, not a tourist canteen. The ten-hour day includes the drive both ways, time at the falls, and the meal. Public transportation options exist nearby if you want to explore on your own once you arrive, though the vehicle and guide are included for the main route.
