Private Day Trip from Marrakech to Ouzoud Waterfalls To reach the waterfalls, we will be passing through the small Ouzoud Village, with its many souvenir stalls offering catching souvenirs to take back home and staircases lined be pleasant cafes. Not to mention, that the waterfalls are visible directly from the village. For the more adventurous, there is a tougher but more rewarding wild terrain if you have the proper attire (heavy comfortable clothing & hiking shoes): the scenes are more unique: green trees and bushes as wide as the eye can see forming an natural fence to the rocky watersides. We are also more likely to encounter the friendly inhabitants of this area: the playful tailess macaque monkeys (seen performing around the square of Marrakesh) in their natural habitats roaming freely and we will get to feed them & photograph them up close. Observing these creatures in the wild is always a delight. Reaching the Ouzoud waterfalls you will have a chance to swim or enjoy a boat ride across Ouzoud River. Note that boat rides in Ouzoud waterfalls are of little practical use as the river is easily crossable, however it is one of the most pleasant and calming activities you can carry out there. Our suggestion is to enjoy the pleasant scene, imagine the roaring 300 foot (100 meter) tall waterfall and its natural pool surrounded by trees decorating the rough terrain and crowned by the permanent rainbow, a scene not to be missed. All these activities truly make day trip from Marrakesh to Ouzoud waterfalls a very rewarding experience.

I recommend 100% Deep South Travel! They were of a professionalism and kindness worthy of Moroccans! The driver picked us up from the hotel in the morning and dropped us off again in the evening. We were accompanied by a guide on site to facilitate the excursion and show us the most interesting spots to take pictures. The landscapes are worthy of the scenes of Avatar! You can take a short ride on boats to be as close as possible to the waterfalls and take the opportunity to cool off! There are several Moroccan restaurants on site with a full view of the waterfalls. And to top it all off you will have the chance to meet many free-ranging monkeys looking for human interactions! Deep South Travel is the agency you need to explore Marrakech and its surroundings! Do not hesitate to go directly to their agency (located in the city center) you will be very welcome and everything will be explained in detail!
