An hour inland from the Agadir beaches, the Tamraght river has cut a palm-filled canyon into the western High Atlas. Paradise Valley is the best-known stretch of it: smooth rock ledges, palm groves and pools of cold, clear green water.
The drive up passes through argan country, and we stop at a women's cooperative where you can see the nuts being cracked and pressed by hand before continuing into the mountains.
At the valley you have several hours to walk the canyon path, swim if the water level allows, and eat a tagine lunch on a terrace above the pools before the drive back to the coast in the afternoon.

The pools are best from late winter to early summer. In late summer and after dry spells the water can be very low — ask us before booking and we will give you the current situation.
About an hour and a quarter each way, on a mountain road with viewpoints.
Yes, with supervision. The walking is easy but the rocks around the pools are slippery.
Yes, a private vehicle for your group is available — ask us for the supplement.
Send your dates and hotel — we reply with availability and your pickup time.
Toubkal Views is run from Marrakech by a Moroccan team, not an overseas booking platform.
Your guide is from the region and knows the Agafay tracks, the Atlas valleys and the best light for photos.
Berber camps, mint tea, home-style tagine and music played by local musicians.
We collect you from your hotel or riad in Marrakech and bring you back at the end.
You talk to us directly before, during and after your trip — no call centre in between.
Tell us your dates, group and pace and we adapt the experience instead of selling a fixed package.
Every review of Toubkal Views is published on independent platforms, so you can read them exactly as travellers wrote them — nothing is copied or edited here.
Agadir city tour
Get your bearings in Agadir: the Kasbah hill viewpoint over the bay, the vast Souk El Had, the marina, the fishing port and the beach promenade.
Nature & culture day trip
South from Agadir to the dunes, estuary and birdlife of Souss-Massa National Park, then inland to the walled silver town of Tiznit.
Mountains & coast tour
For travellers who want mountains and ocean rather than a dash to the dunes: Berber valleys, the kasbah route and three Atlantic nights in Essaouira.
