Sandboarding at Sunset in Agadir Dunes: Bonfire & Tea

You ride down the dunes yourself, then a camel carries you back across the desert floor.

Sandboard down the golden dunes of Taghazout near Agadir, ride a camel across the desert, and end the afternoon around a bonfire with traditional Moroccan mint tea as the sun sets over the Atlantic. The guide keeps groups small and adjusts the timing to fit your pace. Transportation, water, and tea are included.

The experience

The activity starts with sandboarding down the slopes of Agadir's dunes. You control the board and the speed. After you've had your run, you mount a camel for a scenic ride across the desert landscape, then settle in at a bonfire to watch the sunset with fresh Moroccan mint tea. The whole experience runs about six hours, but the timing stays flexible. The guide works around what feels right for the group rather than a fixed clock.

You'll visit the nearby villages of Aghroud and Tamri along the way, and taste fresh local bananas between activities. The guide speaks English, French, German, or Arabic depending on who books, so language isn't a barrier. Private transportation gets you to and from the dunes, and bottled water comes with you throughout the afternoon. The bonfire and tea happen after the sun starts to dip, so you're not rushed through the best light.

What’s included

• Private transportation to and from the dunes.
• bottled water throughout the afternoon.
• Moroccan mint tea and coffee at the bonfire.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French, German and Arabic.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (6 to 16 years); Child (2 to 5 years); Infant (under 2).

What's sandboarding like if I've never done it before?

Sandboarding works like snowboarding but on dunes instead of snow. You stand on the board and ride down the slope. The guide sets up on golden slopes where you can control your pace, and the group stays small enough that there's room to practice and get comfortable before going faster.

Do I need to bring my own sandboard?

No. The sandboards and all equipment are provided as part of the activity. You just show up ready to ride.

What happens if the sunset is cloudy or the weather turns?

The bonfire and tea happen regardless of weather. That's the wind-down after you've sandboarded and ridden. The timing is flexible, so if conditions change, the guide adjusts when you head out or how long you stay at each spot.

How far is Taghazout from Agadir?

Taghazout is a short drive from Agadir, and private transportation is included in the booking, so you don't arrange your own way there.

Can I do this activity if I'm not very fit?

The guide recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness because sandboarding and camel riding both require balance and some exertion. It's not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with cardiovascular concerns, so check with the guide before booking if you have questions about what the day involves.
