Top Marrakech Outdoor Activities

We took a private tour to the Atlas Mountains. Issmail our driver had excellent English and we learnt a lot about his peoples traditional way of life. It was great to hear it first hand. We did a camel ride which was a bit of fun. Then we headed into the heart of the mountains and met a local man, Mohammed who guided us up the mountains to a waterfall. It’s a medium grade walk, good footwear essential. Dinner at a local restaurant, chicken tangeine was as authentic as u could get, followed by cake and tea. Fantastic day, worthy of 5 stars.

We did the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech and had a wonderful experience. Our driver Driss was very friendly, responsible, and helpful throughout the whole trip. He made sure everything went smoothly and always checked that we were comfortable. The journey was long but very enjoyable thanks to him. Highly recommend this tour and especially Driss as a driver!

This was a wonderful experience! Communication with the driver was easy and we were picked up on time. The staff were great and provided great service. We rented a quad for 1 hr and really enjoyed that. You can't go off on your own, which is to be expected. The live show and dinner were really great as well. You are fed course by course while the show is going on. We had a deluxe tent and it was great! Nice and toasty warm with the heat on. The shower was great and the bed was comfy. 10/10 experience!

The tour to the Ouzoud waterfalls is a must see! The trip started with a tour through the beautiful Moroccan countryside and when we got to the Waterfall it was breathtaking. Our guide was very friendly and took us through the area with many interesting facts.

What a life changing experience!!! This entire trip was amazing from start to finish. The driver, Omar Faiz, was so friendly and funny and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. Anything we needed, he provided. Each additional Tour guide was fun and informative and the stops were truly enriching! Ait Ben Haddou was a wonderful stop as was the Berber village and seeing how the carpets are made. The highlight though, the camel ride and desert camp, the sand boarding in the Sahara, just cannot be described in words. You must experience this for yourself! There is a calm magic in the desert. A feeling on connectedness. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life! I met new friends on this journey and made memories that will surely last a lifetime. I have no complaints whatsoever about this trip. In true transparency I will mention that the bus was packed and pretty uncomfortable. There is not a lot of space for bodies. Many of us complained that the seatbelts dug into our butts and thighs. But if that’s the worst, this is still a 5 star review!

Great tour option for getting to Essaouria. Pick up starts around 7:30am and you get back around 8pm. You spend around 4 hours there which feels like plenty of time. This includes 2 bathroom/snack tops on the drive. They make a stop at a argon oil workshop which I don’t think many people were interested in, but it only takes about 20 minutes & I’m sure it’s helpful for the ladies putting it on. Communication on pickup was easy. My road was too tight into the Medina so I just had to walk about 5 minutes to their pickup spot. My guides name was Norte. Friendly guy.

We had a great quad bike experience overall and would definitely recommend it, especially thanks to the professionalism and kindness of the team. Said, our driver, was excellent — he picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back exactly as promised, always respecting the times he gave us. He was a true professional, very polite, and an absolute gentleman throughout the whole experience. The quad bike ride itself was really enjoyable, and we had a lot of fun. The only downside was that we unfortunately lost some time during the journey due to several quad bikes needing repairs. Luckily, our quad bike was in great condition and we had no issues at all. Although there were slight delays, we still managed to enjoy ourselves and made the most of it — using the extra time to drive around, pick up speed, and really have fun with the ride. That being said, our guide was truly amazing — caring, attentive, and constantly checking in on everyone to make sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. Such a kind and genuine person, and we were really happy to have met him through this experience. As a lovely extra (and not originally part of the plan), we were also offered traditional Moroccan tea served with homemade bread, honey with argan oil, and delicious olives — everything was unexpectedly tasty and such a beautiful touch. Even though we stayed longer than expected, Said waited patiently for all of us and made sure everyone was taken care of. Both the driver and the guide were professional, warm, and genuinely caring, and they truly made the experience memorable.

Everything went exactly as planned. Received a WhatsApp message the day before our tour reconfirming the pick up time for our hotel, then the morning of pickup received a text from our driver when he was 10 minutes out. After a comfortable ride to the starting spot we enjoyed coffee while watching our balloon get inflated. When it was ready we hopped in and quickly were airborne for our 45 minute flight. Our pilot did a great job of rotating our balloon so everyone could take in the views, and we got to witness the most beautiful sunrise. When it was time to descent and land the landing was super smooth; barely even felt it! We then received our souvenir certificates and were driven back to the starting point for breakfast. Good assortment of pastries and yogurt along with Coffee and tea.
