Looking for the perfect escape from Marrakech? Join our Ouzoud waterfalls day trip and immerse yourself in one of Morocco’s most spectacular natural wonders. Located in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, just a few hours’ drive from the city, the Ouzoud Falls plunge over 100 meters into a lush gorge, surrounded by olive groves, rainbows, and the soothing sound of rushing water.
Your adventure begins with a picturesque drive through rolling valleys, dramatic mountain views, and traditional Berber villages. The route itself is an experience—offering countless photo opportunities before you even reach the falls.
On arrival, enjoy a guided walk down to the base of the Ouzoud waterfalls, where mist fills the air and rainbows shimmer in the sunlight. Keep your eyes open for the friendly Barbary macaques that inhabit the area, and don’t miss the chance to take a traditional wooden raft ride across the sparkling natural pool.
Whether you choose to hike the surrounding trails, sip mint tea at a cliffside café, or simply sit back and admire the view, this Ouzoud waterfalls day trip from Marrakech offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Start your Ouzoud waterfalls day trip with an early pickup from Marrakech at 7:00 AM. The 150 km drive takes about three hours. Along the way, you’ll pass quiet villages, traditional towns, and the scenic foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
When you arrive at Ouzoud Falls, you’ll have four hours to explore. Watch the water plunge 100 meters into the gorge. Wander through olive groves. Spot playful Barbary macaques and colorful birds. If you like adventure, take a short boat ride or swim in the natural pools.
Feeling hungry? Sit at a cliffside café and sip fresh mint tea. Or enjoy a traditional Moroccan tajine with the falls as your backdrop. Every moment here is a mix of peace, beauty, and pure Moroccan charm.
After a relaxing day, we’ll drive you back to Marrakech, arriving around 7:00 PM. It’s the perfect escape into Morocco’s wild side—just for a day.
