★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 33,630 reviews · 10 - 11 hours · from $17Our pick

Travel from Marrakech to Ouzoud with hotel pickup, a local guide, scenic viewpoints, an argan oil cooperative, a moderate hike, and a short boat ride beneath the 110-meter falls. Guides such as Youssef, Hachimi, and Mohamed Boufarma are praised for patient explanations and photo help. Lunch costs about €10 to €12 extra.

“Mohamed Boufarma was an amazing and knowledgable guide. We found it so impressive that he was switching between English, French, Italian and Arabic to explain the history of the falls. We got picked up from our resort around 8:45, it was a 3/ 3 and a half hour coach journey with a brief stop off at a restaurant for a toilet break / snacks. When we arrived, we learnt how Argon oil was made, got to try some mint tea, and had plenty of photo opportunities (Mohamed was a great photographer). We ended the trip with a boat ride towards the waterfall and a meal overlooking the beautiful view. 10/10…”

“Brilliant way to experience the the Ourika Valley from Marrakech. Transportation was well organised from an easy to find location. Brahim the guide was excellent, very accommodating and always eager to make sure everyone was okay and enjoying themselves. The food served at the riverside cafe was very tasty, so we’d suggest including the add-on lunch to your booking. The hike to the waterfalls was great as well. We’d recommend wearing relatively sturdy shoes as the terrain is quite rocky.”

You’ll hike roughly 50 kilometers through three Atlas valleys, crossing passes near 2,000 to 2,500 meters and sleeping in village guesthouses. Local guides such as Mostafa, Houssain, and Mohamed lead small groups, while a mule carries luggage and cooking supplies.

“AMAZING, very lucky to experience the trek in alpine conditions, with deep snow in places and sunshine every day. Due to conditions, we didn't stick to the planned itinery, but this worked for me as I was able to climb 2 peaks of greater than 2,600m. It was very cold at night, so I was glad I had packed a lightweight sleeping bag and lots of warm clothing. Special shout out to Oman for guiding my first 2 days, and Hassan for my last 2 days. I hope to return soon to the Atlas mountains.”
