Paradise Valley und Atlasgebirge Abenteuer in Agadir

We booked our tour to Paradise Valley via a local tour guide. We had used this guide the day before to take a tour of Agadir City. It cost 350DH each (about £28 each). The guide included a stop off at an Argan Oil and Honey Garden and other spots for photos. The tour duration was about 4hrs. It took around an hour to get to Paradise Valley from our hotel in Agadir due to the stops. I think the drive back was around 30-40 minutes with no stops. This trip is not for the faint hearted. When we arrived at the car park before a 20-25 minute trek to Paradise Valley the heat and humidity was phenomenal. 46 degrees! The trek is down hill on the way there and uphill on the way back. Many people including my daughter and husband and I had to turn back. We didn’t get to the water or main part of the trek due to heat and the path. My son (17 years) went on with our guide. He didn’t go in the water and advised there are signs stating no swimming due to rocks under the water and snakes. One other tourists suffered a dislocated arm from jumping in and as there are no roads had to be escorted back on a donkey. The sights are stunning. It is an amazing place in the world to be but take plenty of water. Cover your head. Be prepared for the heat and the trek and probably best not to jump off a rock into the water.

Mohammed was such a fun guide and very informative too. He is very kind and caring with people and all the animals we saw. There was only 5 in our group so nice personal touch. Worth paying a little extra for the small group. On the way to Paradise Valley we stopped to see some tree climbing goats. We got to the swimming point before the crowds which was amazing. The pool we went to wasnt brown like other reviews I’ve read for other trips. Mohammed was in the pools with us having fun too. Definitely worth the early start as got very busy later in the day. I would definitely recommend using Mohammed for future trips. Great value for money.

Booked through Tui, we went on a guided tour to Paradise Valley and the Atlas Mountains with our designated guide Soufiane, a very polite, well spoken and educated young man who couldnt do enough for you. On the way to the mountains he provided us with a wealth of knowledge of Morocco in general, he was really interested in us and very inclusive. Half way to the mountains we stopped at the bitanical gardens and met a local who allowed us to sample the famous honey and mint tea. When we got parked up to the mountains for the trek to the swimming spot, Soufiane insisted on carrying our bag, and gave us a detailed account of what to expect for the trek there and on arrival. When we got there he gave us the choice of how much free time we wanted for swimming, gave us all the necessary safety advice (the rocks leading to the water are VERY slippy) and gave us a very easy meeting point when we were finished. When we met back up again he carried our bag back to the car, allowing plenty rest and stoppage time due to the extreme heat and steps we had to contend with. As we left the mountains for the ride home he played music from our favourite artists and was very interactive and pleasant. We were lucky to have Soufiane as our guide all to ourselves, so the interaction was one-to-one and he made the trip more enjoyable than we could have imagined. Absolutely delighted with our trip and what a worthy employee worth his weight in gold. Fantastic.

Guide was very good. Only point is we had to go from agadir to tagazhout to pick a few people up so the overall journey felt very long getting to the valley and back again (hour and a half or so)

Book this experience early to beat the traffic and crowd, bring a towel, have cash and be prepared to have the best time eith Mohammed. He is an encyclopedia of Agadir and its richness, he is so kind, friendly, accommodating. He definitely made our stay even more special with his recommendations. Don't hesitate, you'll have the best time!

Passionate about his profession, his country, and his culture, Mohamed will give you a wonderful experience. Looking forward to seeing you again.

We had a brilliant experience with Mohamed, who instantly put us at ease with his friendly nature. He is very informative about local geography, wildlife and nature. We were given the chance to see goats in the argan trees, swim in paradise valley and sample some of Morocco’s own produce including honey and argan oil. We got to enjoy paradise valley earlier than the other tourists, which was great as it got very busy once we’d enjoyed our swim. We had a comfortable and safe journey in a 4x4, as a small group of 4 + Mohamed. I would recommend this trip to anyone, thanks again for a great day!

We really enjoyed the tour with Mohamed. He was a very knowledgeable tour guide and very helpful. It was good that he purposely does this trip early so we were the first group at paradise valley and got to enjoy it before it became too crowded. The walk through Atlas Mountains was also very cool and enjoyable. Recommend wearing runners for this as a few rocks to jump over! Also liked that it was a smaller group so a more personalised experience.

Great experience with Mohamed, very professional and personable (loves animals just like us 😉), punctual and attentive. He introduced us to the must-see places, Paradise Valley, horseback riding at sunset, as well as the best restaurant in the area and the best honey 🍯, all while taking the time to explain and answer our questions. Perfect organization, smooth and pleasant visit from start to finish. I highly recommend it for those who want to discover the region in complete tranquility. See you very soon, Alex, Lulu, Lily, and Kéké 😊

The valley of paradise is not a must-do. Typical place but very dirty.
