About this activity
Escape Marrakech for a full-day private excursion to Morocco's stunning Ouzود Waterfalls, featuring cascading tiers plunging over 100 metres into natural rock pools perfect for swimming. Travel in air-conditioned comfort with a local guide who shares insider knowledge of the waterfall ecosystem, traditional olive groves, and resident Barbary apes.
The traditional village of Ouzoud has great views of the waterfalls and their natural pool more than a 100 meters below! A great day out of Marrakech to explore the area and enjoy a swim in natural pools under the beautiful Ouzoud waterfalls. Early hotel or riad pick up & transfer to Ouzoud, 3 hours away, in full A/C Land cruiser. Upon arrival you will be met by a local guide for a tour. You will walk around the whole site down to the natural rock pools for a dip! (pack a swimsuit & towel)
Our personnel’s intimate knowledge of the area and their absolute reliablity ensure a pleasant day out for families with children or friends with plans of adventure! Add an afternoon stroll to the program to visit local olive groves and see Barbary apes! Check out the old, water powered mills that still operate today. Kick about and swim in natural rock pools!

Insider tips
- ★Bring water shoes or sandals with grip—rocks around the pools are slippery when wet, and paths can be steep.
- ★Visit in cooler months (October–April) for comfortable walking; summer heat makes the 3-hour drive and canyon walking taxing.
- ★Arrive early in your hotel pickup window to maximise time at the falls before afternoon heat intensifies.
- ★Pack extra cash for tips to your guide and for refreshments in the village; not all vendors accept cards.
Good to know
- •Swimming attire and towel essential; bring a waterproof bag for valuables left near the pools.
- •Walking paths are steep but manageable for families with children; guides adjust pace to group ability.
- •Wear proper walking shoes with ankle support; flip-flops are unsafe on uneven terrain.
- •Full day commitment: approximately 6 hours round-trip transport plus 3–4 hours on-site exploration; return to Marrakech around 6:00 PM.
- •Available year-round, though October–April offers optimal weather for hiking.
