Private Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech
The Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip is a private full-day tour from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Falls, about 150 km northeast of the city and roughly 3 hours by road each way. Your driver collects you at your accommodation around 8:00 AM. After the drive through the Atlas foothills you walk down scenic trails with views over the falls, which are about 110 m high, can take an optional boat ride near the base and have lunch at a viewpoint restaurant, before the drive back to Marrakech in the evening. The price is per private group, not per person, in your own air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver.
It suits travelers who want a nature day out from Marrakech, families and small groups who prefer their own vehicle, and anyone who enjoys walking trails and wildlife such as wild Barbary monkeys. Because the tour is private, the route and pace can be adapted to your group. Tell us what matters most when you request availability.
