Highlights
  • Marrakech - Departure from your hotel or riad in Marrakech early in the morning at 8 am and you will be accompanied by an English speaking driver / guide. The road that you take crosses the plain of Haouz and a succession of villages and small towns. A mountain road then leads to Ouzoud Falls, about 110 meters high, located in the province of Tanaghmeilt, 150 kilometers from Marrakech, in the Atlas Mountains.

The walk near the waterfalls is really beautiful; you can approach the waterfalls on both sides while contemplating the fauna and flora of the region. Do not be surprised to see monkeys that are very numerous.

The more intrepid can opt for a swim in the river; the water is very clean even if its temperature is not very high.

Descent to discover the beautiful waterfalls that spring among the olive trees. You take a nice walk around the area and see the signs. Lunch in a restaurant with panoramic views of the waterfalls. Return to Marrakech by the same road. Arrive at your hotel or riad at the end of the day.

What's Included

Additional Information

You’ll find yourself in awe of the local olive trees that lent their Berber name to the waterfalls and carob trees. Monkeys can be seen frolicking freely in their natural surroundings, leaping from one olive tree to another. The road to the Ouzoud Cascades weaves through numerous Berber villages, stretching from the plains to the mountains. Once you reach 900 meters above sea level, you’ll encounter one of Morocco’s most precious natural phenomena: three huge waterfalls that branch out to nourish the pools a hundred meters below, perfect for a swim. Enjoy lunch to the tranquil and comforting backdrop of waterfalls at small cafe’s set up on terraces. Be prepared for the playful magots, adorable little monkeys, who love to entertain guests.

I will do it again with the same people!!! Epic experience. - An epic holiday, full of love, fun, laughter, excitement, exploring and adventure. From my arrival at the airport to my departure, was in awe of the professionalism and hospitality we experienced with our private tour. I loved the way, that we had a designated person to us for the entire trip. He actually raised the bar quite high with his professionalism and kind hearted personality. It then just turned out to be the best holiday ever, although initially was not game for some of the magical things we ended up doing impromptu with my sister. Luxurious it was, a true value for money experience and the best private tour group to experience Morocco with. I was reminded once again that we live in a beautiful continent and we are beautiful people. Thank you Moh , Said and Morocco daily tours for the majestic experience

WOW!!! Just WOW!!! - We always felt safe and taken care of. Never needed anything. I hosted a women’s retreat in Morocco and brought a group of 10. Said and I worked out the itinerary beforehand and from the minute we landed till we left Said or Zaid or Salah were there to make sure we had everything we needed and we’re taken care of. He arranged all of the excursions and when we were there we didn’t have to think about anything. It was perfect and such a life changing experience for the attendees and I couldn’t have pulled it off without Said. Said has such a beautiful love, respect and honor for his country, culture and the people and he highlights this in all his planning. And he’s ALOT OF FUN!!! Thank you 🙏💖

We had the best guide ever! Saïd!!! - Perfection is in the eyes of its beholded! Traveling with a group of fantastic women. Saïd gave us far most the best tour of Marrakesh and also made us feel super safe. Saïd and the driver where always on time waiting on us who were running late (ugh). Every day was a new discovery; from high end restaurants, fantastic lunch bars, to exciting activities such as, great shopping (custom made articles), luxurious camping in the dessert, hot air balloon, camels riding, four-wheelers, cooking class to name a few. We even had the chance to give back to a small village/ community and to a women shelter. Saïd also found this amazing hammam for women and couples, where the staff is amazing and catered to all our needs. We got out of there brain new. Saïd made our experience easy, super enjoyable and unforgettable.

The most amazing Moroccan adventures - I planned a last minute trip to Marrakech and admittedly didn’t have didn’t have enough time to do the research I usually do before a trip. I asked for recommendations from a travel group that I am part of and quite a few ladies recommended Said as a tour guide. I reached out to Said and he was very responsive. I only requested for two activities and told him he could fill in the rest of the time with his recommendations. He did not disappoint. The care that he took in preparing my travels and his recommendations were impeccable. When I landed in Marrakech, I received a text from Said welcoming me to Morocco and letting me know that Youssef would meet me holding a Morocco Daily Tours sign. I was met at the airport by Youssef and he greeted me with a warm smile, helped me with my luggage and gave me a welcome gift. He called ahead to my riad and let them know I had arrived so there would be a warm handover from guide to riad. Day one of my trip started very early with a sunrise hot air balloon ride followed by a souks and city tour. Mustapha was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. His level of knowledge of the history of Marrakech is immense. We walked for hours but listening and learning about the city made it seem like only an hour had passed. I tried amazing coffee, juices, and met so many talented artisans. My day ended with a delicious vegetarian meal which they ensured all my meal were. On day two, we headed towards the Atlas Mountains on the way to the desert and made many stops along the way. I spent the night in the desert and enjoyed a camel ride, authentic food, and music. We headed back to Marrakech on day 3 and stopped for quality argan oil and many other artisanal goods. Day four we went to the valley, hiked a waterfall and experienced an authentic Berber in home experience. To have a local welcome me into their home and showed me how to make authentic Moroccan tea was a highlight of my trip. I ended my day with a Hammam and massage. If you are ever in Morocco, it is a must. Some things to note: there was always a handoff whether it was to the riad staff, desert staff, or learning new things from a shop owner. They always took care to open doors, provide cold water, and ensuring I didn’t need anything during the long rides. They were never far away when I exchanged money or used to ATM to ensure I didn’t need any assistance. It’s a special touch that I appreciated since I was traveling alone. No matter what time of day or night, Said and Youssef were always there to answer any questions I had or provide directions to a place I went to earlier in the day that I wanted to return to. I can not thank Said, Youssef, and Mustapha from Morocco Daily Tours enough for making my first trip to Morocco an unforgettable one. I am already planning my next trip to Morocco so I can visit more cities.

Ouzoud Day Trip - Absolutely amazing! Professionalism at its finest! Our driver Youssef was on time for a 7:30 am pickup, he was friendly, and very knowledgeable! We met our tour guide at entrance of the waterfall and honestly the experience was better than I could have imagined. What a great team!

Fantastic day trip from Marrakech - We had a wonderful trip to the Ouzoud waterfalls with Moncif. It was a three hour journey and Moncif was a great host and very safe driver. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the drive and was a great source of information, happily answering all of our questions and chatting with us all. At the waterfalls he introduced us to our local guide who was very careful to keep us safe, and took us on a bracing walk to get the best views of the falls. He took us to an area where we swam in the open water, and the braver members of our party dived in from one of the lower falls. Once we had finished that we took a short boat trip to the bottom of the biggest fall, after which we had lunch at a local restaurant and walked back up again, seeing the monkeys on the way. It was a great day and a unique experience!

Magical trip to Morocco - I just came back from the most magical trip to Morocco with Said Hatouchi and Morocco Daily Tours! After much research, I’ve decided to go with Morocco Daily Tours based on their excellent reviews and I’m so glad I did! Said listened to my every request and meticulously put together a great itinerary. Traveling as a solo female, safety was my main priority. Never once did I feel unsafe in this wonderful country! I found Moroccan people to be very warm and very welcoming! I am so grateful to Said, the owner of Morocco Daily Tours and Lahcen, the driver, for going above and beyond in making sure that my trip was memorable! I am already planning to go back next year to explore more of the magical Morocco with Said and Morocco Daily Tours. Book with confidence, you will not be disappointed! Thank You, Said and Lahcen for my amazing adventure!!

Memorable Morocco trip - It was our first time in Morocco and Moncif made it the most memorable experience ever. His knowledge and love for the city of Marrakech made it so enjoyable. No request was too big and he was always willing to accommodate with a smile on his face which made us feel so comfortable especially travelling with young kids. Would definitely go back to visit and contact Moncif to be our tour guide again!

Amazing experience - My sisters and I originally planned a 3 day trip to Morocco and had an itinerary of all the places we wanted to visit. On the first day we booked Camel Riding and Quad Biking where we met our driver Moncif. On our way to the activity he helped us out and arranged us travel for the duration of our trip. Originally I had planned out an itinerary in which I had places I wanted to visit and straight after the camel riding and quad biking activity Moncif arranged for us to go visit a few other places that day as well as shopping in the evening. I had originally planned to see the Bahia Palace and Mosque etc the next day but we managed to do all of that on our first day which meant we could do so much more on the rest of the day which was amazing, all thanks to Moncif. The following day we travelled to the Berber Villages and Mountains- we were so happy we managed to see more parts of Morocco than we planned. The mountains and the Berber Villages we passed through were so beautiful! It was so interesting learning about the people and history of Morocco. We had the best trip ever and it was all down to our amazing driver, Moncif. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have seen half the things we did. He was so lovely and friendly. We felt very safe with him and he had great knowledge about the places we visited. He took time out and explained everything and was so patient with us all as well as making small stops whenever we needed. I was looking for a small Moroccan lamp to take back home with me and Moncif helped me soo much to look for one. He stopped several times at different shops to help me find the perfect lamp. I really appreciate your help and efforts, it was so nice how you remembered exactly what we were looking for and helped us find everything. This was the best trip ever, Morocco is a beautiful country and the people are just amazing and so friendly. Special thanks to Moncif was making it so memorable. We can’t wait to come back again!

Girls Trip to Morroco - We initially booked the quad biking and camel riding with the company and met driver Moncif. We then made a further booking to visit the Ouzoud Waterfalls and Berber Villages. Moncif was really nice and made sure our trip was enjoyable. Moncif had great local knowledge and told us all about the culture and people. As a female only group with young children, we felt very safe throughout the trip and no request was too big for Moncif. We had an amazing trip and would highly reccomend!
