Ayoub and the other guides were fantastic - very knowledgeable, interactive and friendly! The scenery was lovely during the hike, the pit stops to try different honey, argan oil and look at plates were a nice way to break up the travel. Overall, it was the most unique experience we have had in Morocco. Highly recommended!!

Great overall trip for the price.
Pickup was on time and Aziz was very friendly and knowledgeable and also confirmed pickup with us the night before.
We did combine with another group which made the hike a bit busy but it was still an interesting walk.
Wear trainers as some parts were slippy and some dirham for the toilets!
The argon oil cooperative was very informative and interesting. I got the Ylang-Ylang oil and LOVE it!

Mostly just driving around to places you don’t really care about. The actual hike and time at the water bit is alright, but nothing special
Veronique_D, Jan 2026
Very nice visit with spectacular scenery
Opportunity to swim and relax for a few minutes.
Decent hike on very stony ground.
Regretted no real possibility to contribute to local vendors
Kimberley_R, Sep 2025
It was amazing. Great fun. Great experience. Wear proper shoes not sandals as there is a small bit of walking through the mountains to get there. We had a great time.
Lubos_L, Jul 2025
Definitely worth to try but pictures doesn’t match what we saw. Transport was great surprise. For this price you have a nothing to lose.

Picked up and stopped off at a botanical garden and women owned co-op which was nice to wander around and get some more information about the plant life in Morocco. The hike down was a bit strenuous and messy due to the rain but that can't be helped. wish the guides had given a bit more information about the actual valley when we were walking around.
Sam_E, Feb 2025
The mixed reviews meant we joined this trip with open minds…and loved our experience. Friendly, helpful guides, skilled driver and a small group The garden/honey stops en route were interesting and no pressure to buy. A fascinating drive into the Atlas Mountains. The walk down into Paradise Valley great fun (definitely needs sturdy shoes and to be fairly agile on rocky path). Passed donkeys & fascinating mini cafes before final stop where we had 1.5hrs. Low water levels meant no swimming but we loved relaxing in one of the poolside cafes with drinks & a snack. Our teenagers thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. It’s such a shame there’s a litter problem - not the fault of the tour - but it needs sorting out to keep Paradise Valley like Paradise!

This is a scam. Everything seem legit until the pick up from tagazhout. I had 3 numbers from the booking to contact and they all said that it was a scam and it wasn’t their company name. Nobody came to pick us up. Avoid

Look at the recent photos and reviews. It is a gorgeous trip to see the Atlas mountains and a botanical gardens. The water isn't the main aspect of the tour, and it isn't the colour of some of the promotional images. The botanical gardens were great, really informative and lots of tasters of honey. The Walk was great too, taking in the scenery of the mountains and the valley. We went in the morning in January, so there weren't many other tourists there. We loved it.

I recently took a trip to Paradise Valley in Morocco, and overall, it was worth the price as it delivered everything promised. The tour included an argan oil presentation (as almost every other organized tour in Morocco) connected to a charming mini botanical garden, which was both educational and enjoyable.
Paradise Valley itself was pleasant, offering a small oasis with some water. However, it wasn’t quite what I had imagined—there was no majestic waterfall, just a modest water feature. The natural beauty was somewhat overshadowed by numerous mini shops selling drinks and food. Additionally, the oasis was dotted with colorful plastic chairs that didn’t blend well with the surroundings, and there were no secluded spots to relax without making a purchase.
Despite these drawbacks, the trip is still a good option if you have a free afternoon and want to see a different side of Morocco. The oasis provides a nice setting, and the overall experience is decent for the cost. If you prefer untouched nature, this might not fully meet your expectations, but it's a worthwhile outing for a glimpse of Paradise Valley.

It was an ok experience. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, it was good, would I do it again? Probably not.
Tour guide himself was a great guy
Ian_C, Sep 2024
Disappointed to hear and see that the false advertising of waterfalls and clear water was clear to see. It was filthy water no water falls. And couldn't wait to leave.
Stephen_B, Aug 2024
Called me before trip to confirm pick up time & location.
Friendly guides, great views on journey to/from the valley, and a decent 90mins in the very unique valley where you can drink/eat in the many cafes (where you literally sit at tables in the water) and have a swim in the water.
Well worth a visit, and a decent value trip out.
Andras_B, Aug 2024
Amazing scenery and great tour. Super restaurants in the valley. Take sport shoes for the hike :) Guide very helpful.
Jo_J, Aug 2024
Messed up pick up location and had to pay for a cab to another location
Transport was not cool enough, no AC
Botanical garden stop was fine
Paradise valley had no water, no waterfall and no-wherr to swim. There was a few brown pools to dip your feet in.
Every single person who arrived was disappointed and no just from our trip.
The images you display bear absolutely no resemblance to what we actually saw and we feel this was very misrepresented.
We had to stay for 2 hours with no facilities, no shade, and people were trying to charge £4 to use a toilet which was padlocked
Absolutely awful

Our guide was Houssain. He took very good care of our whole group, ensuring everyone was safe in the strong heat. If you want to visit Paradise Valley for the rock jumps book this trip!
Carla_M, Jul 2024
nice water to swim in. take trainers for the walk. no waterfall as there’s been no rain for five years. didn’t buy anything they were pedalling at the shops on the way
Ugne_D, Jul 2024
We had the best time exploring the paradise valley and the botanical gardens were interesting and enjoyable. But what made it special was the incredible duo leading the tour, who were both personable and informative. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Agadir!

So happy I booked this tour. Spent the afternoon at the beautiful paradise valley after a few stops for photos.
Bring proper shoes for your walk to the swimming pools
Our tour guide Souf was super lovely, knowledgeable & fun vibes all day
Thanks so much, I highly recommend this tour
Mateja_R, Jun 2024
I expect more and it was too much people in that small place for swimming,so we didn't like that. No one talk about history there so it was for us bad.
Amy_T, Jun 2024
Great day out. Mini bus driver was good. So thank you. Enjoyed the little stops on the way. Wear trainers as the trek to the valley is very uneven.
Luke_B, Jun 2024
Good value with great views and a comfortable minivan drive. The pools were nice too, could have been organised a little better
Ashton_S, Jun 2024
Great journey, tour guides and drivers spoke great English so was fun from the start, paradise valley was beautiful, well worth the trip
Sar_v, May 2024
I thought I was going to end up in ANE!!! Hahaha 😆 😂 I was saved by Aziz. Glad we went on this trip. It was worth it 👌. Next time we will try to bring a few elbow and knee pads!!! The fish spa is excellent. We did not eat the food in the valley but heard it was excellent. I will strongly recommend carrying cash. Exchange to MAD. Tips are not obvious but it is good to give! We also wanted to buy items at the gift shop and the card machine did not work! It is wise to carry cash for souvenirs. The toilet facilities are good and clean. I will upload photos later....

Great trip the guide Hassan was fab, made sure everyone was enjoying themselves Pardise valley is stunning defo recommend going if you get the chance
Anna_K, May 2024
Such a good day out! Hussein was a great guide. We enjoyed the stop at the argan oil shop/museum as well as opportunities on the drive to stop for photos. Before the hike you stop at a shop where you can buy snacks and drinks where there is also a toilet. The hike was around half an hour and the right level of challenging. Swimming in the pool was amazing. Don’t wear white! The rocks and pool will stain your clothes.

Driver was very knowledgeable guy and funny. Paradise valley trip was a good fun scenery was very appealing considering the dry landscape around. Driver bought fruits from his own pockets and handed to all of us which was a nice surprise.
CALVIN_J, May 2024
Very overrated and the pictures are greatly exaggerated it is also very slippery when coming out of the water so watch out for that
Gerald_D, Apr 2024
The views of the mountains were stunning, as were the windy roads up. The swim in the wadi was refreshing
