A tour that enchanted us all! - We had a wonderful day!! The tour enchanted us all. From the area of the argan trees, to the dunes (our guys were freaking out with joy... just running, sliding down on their stomachs...) to the sea (even more joy came!! With the children as well as with us...). This sense of freedom and vastness... the beauty of nature... we are just grateful and animated. The visit to Yussef's mother was a great conclusion. Naima has accompanied us very well. We can only recommend the tour!

Waterfall and Marabout by Sidi Mbarek & Tee at a Berber Family - The hike was great! Our guide Fayçal, who accompanied us through the dunes and the infinite distances along the sea, was super friendly and the view breathtaking. The tea ceremony was also very impressive, the food was very delicious. Can only recommend it:)

A very rewarding hike! - Our Guide Naïma was perfect. Punctual, smiling and available it allowed us to understand among other things the local climate issues. We discovered beautiful landscapes, history, heritage without forgetting an excellent traditional tea taken with the family where the best welcome was reserved for us. I recommend!

I recommend - Thanks to Malika for this hike where we discovered a diversity of landscape and atmosphere. We were 2 families of 4 (the youngest were 8 years old) and each loved it. Thanks also to Hassan for his mint tea, bread, honey...

Top excursion to the nearby hinterland - Had caught a sunny, windless day for this half-day tour 😀 was traveling in a pleasant uncomplicated small group, which additionally made this trip special. Faical, our Moroccan guide was funny, informative, attentive and articulate in both English and French. He reacted individually and authentically to the different people in the group. I totally enjoyed the lonely, deserted landscape pictures. The visit of a Berber family for a late breakfast and Atay b'nahna / traditional mint tea completed the trip wonderfully.

10/10 would definitely recommend to do this activity - This was such a great experience. We saw so many beautiful places that we wouldn’t have seen if we were alone. The beach was so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Our guide was very friendly, explained everything to us and was very hospitable. Everything was organized and we had a very good time.

Gorgeous - A must-do even if the waterfall lacks water, the diversity of the landscape is sublime. Thanks to Malika our guide for her kindness and the Berber family for their welcome.

Superb walk between beaches and waterfalls. - A wonderful walk on a very beautiful beach, at low tide, under a turquoise sky, to reach the waterfalls, before a climb to the village and stopping at a local's house for the best mint tea of all my stay. Smiles, kindness and benevolence, sublime landscapes, a very good time that I recommend. A big thank you to Malika.
