Begin with pickup from your hotel or riad, before departing for one of the most spectacular waterfalls in North Africa, located 93 miles (150 km) north of Marrakech.
As you arrive in the village of Ouzoud, admire views of the cascades that plunge 360 feet (110 meters) into the pool below. Follow your local guide through olive groves to an argan oil co-operative and learn about Berber culture. Make the most of the opportunity to admire the views and take photos.
Continue down a network of trails to a viewpoint where you can buy fresh orange juice. Board a traditional boat for a short ride on the pool at the bottom of the waterfalls. Then, enjoy a late, Berber lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the falls.
In the mid-afternoon, climb a series of stairs out of the valley for your transfer back to Marrakech.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip
How far are the Ouzoud Waterfalls from Marrakech and how long is the drive?
The Ouzoud Waterfalls are located approximately 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of Marrakech, in the province of Azilal. The scenic drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours each way. With Provan Transport, you will travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle, passing through traditional Berber villages and lush olive groves along the way.
Is the guided hike at the Ouzoud Waterfalls difficult?
The hike is generally considered to be of moderate difficulty. The path involves walking down to the base of the falls and climbing back up a series of steps. Because your booking includes a professional local guide, you will be taken on the safest, most scenic routes at a comfortable pace suited to your group's fitness level.
What does the traditional boat trip at the waterfalls include?
At the base of the 110-meter (360-foot) cascades, you will find small, brightly decorated traditional wooden rafts. Your guide will arrange for you to hop aboard one of these boats to be rowed right up to the plunging water. It is a thrilling way to experience the sheer power of the falls—and you can expect to feel a refreshing spray of water!
Will we see wild monkeys during the Ouzoud Waterfalls tour?
Yes! The lush forests surrounding the Ouzoud Waterfalls are home to troops of wild Barbary macaque monkeys. They are most active in the late afternoon as you make your way back up the stairs. They are used to human presence, and your local guide will show you how to safely observe and photograph them.
Can you swim in the pools at the Ouzoud Waterfalls?
Yes, swimming is permitted in certain natural pools at the base of the falls. This is incredibly popular during the hot Moroccan summer months (June to September). The mountain water is crisp and refreshing, so we highly recommend bringing a swimsuit and a quick-dry towel if you wish to take a dip.
What should I wear and bring for the Ouzoud excursion?
Because the pathways can be uneven and slippery near the water, sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes or sneakers are essential (please avoid flip-flops for the hike). We also recommend bringing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a bottle of water, and some cash (Dirhams) for your lunch, souvenirs, or local tips.
Is the Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip suitable for children and families?
Absolutely. Families love this day trip because children are highly entertained by the boat ride and the playful wild monkeys. Keep in mind that there is a 3-hour drive each way and a fair amount of walking, so it is best suited for children who are comfortable with walking or who can be easily carried by parents on the stairs.
Is lunch included, and where do we eat?
Lunch is usually not included in the base price, giving you the freedom to choose your meal. Your guide will point out several excellent panoramic restaurants lining the pathways. You can enjoy authentic Moroccan Tagine, freshly grilled meats, or vegetarian options on a terrace with a spectacular, uninterrupted view of the waterfalls.
Can we book a private tour instead of a shared group?
Yes, Provan Transport offers both small-group shared excursions and private day trips. Booking a private transfer gives you ultimate flexibility—you can control your departure time, spend as much time as you want relaxing by the water, and enjoy a more personalized, VIP experience.
How do I book, and what is your cancellation policy?
The Ouzoud Waterfalls are one of the most popular day trips from Marrakech, so we highly recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours in advance. Provan Transport offers a flexible and stress-free reservation process: secure your spot now and pay later, with free cancellation available up to 24 hours before your scheduled departure.
