From Marrakech: Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip with Boat Tour

The Ouzoud Waterfalls sit around three hours from Marrakech, cascading 110 metres through a valley of red cliffs, olive groves, and tamarisk trees. This day trip takes you out of the city and into that landscape, with the falls themselves forming the centrepiece of a route that winds past oleander bushes and terraced greenery before reaching the viewpoint above the cascades.

On arrival, you'll walk down through the valley for a closer look at the three separate waterfalls, with the option to add a local guide who can point out the geology and plant life along the way. Choosing the boat tour upgrade gets you onto the water itself, drifting close enough to feel the spray from the falls. It's a different perspective from the one you get on foot, and one that's hard to replicate from the clifftop paths alone.

Whether you book the shared group trip or a private tour with your own guide, the day follows the same rhythm: pickup in Marrakech, a scenic drive with a short stop en route, time at the falls, and a return journey that has you back at your accommodation by evening.

Your day starts with pickup from your accommodation in Marrakech, followed by a drive out toward Ouzoud with a short break along the way. As you get closer, the scenery shifts to red cliffs, olive groves, and tamarisk and oleander plants lining the road. Once you arrive, you'll head down into the valley to see the three waterfalls up close, with a short walk around the area giving you views of the cascades from above.

If you've chosen the guide and boat tour upgrade, this is when you'll head out onto the water for a closer look at the falls, with your guide sharing details about the surrounding landscape. Afterward, there's time to relax over lunch at a restaurant terrace overlooking the falls, paid for separately. The trip wraps up with the drive back to Marrakech, where you'll be dropped off at your original accommodation.
