Step-by-step itinerary

Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip from Marrakech

• Pass through Tamlalt area
• Stop for break and photos
• Visit Ouzoud Waterfalls viewpoints
• Walk near the falls and relax
• Optional boat ride near waterfalls

The experience

The drive from Marrakech takes you through countryside and a stop in the Tamlalt area before you reach the falls. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver, and hotel or riad pickup and drop-off in Marrakech are included. The route itself is part of the day: the landscape shifts as you move away from the city, and the stops give you a chance to stretch and take photos before arriving at the falls.

At Ouzoud, you have free time to walk the paths near the water, find viewpoints, and take photos. The falls drop into a river canyon, and the riverside itself is where most travelers spend their time. If you choose the guide and boat ride option at checkout, you can take a short boat ride on the water close to the falls. That's the main difference between the two options. The standard version gets you to the same place with the same free time. The guided option adds someone who knows the area and the boat access if you want it.

The whole day is ten hours from pickup to drop-off. A guide is available in English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language if you select that option. Service animals are allowed, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with a baby.
