- W2557QZdeem0 contributionsThose poor animals. So upsetting to see them in such obvious distress.The people are absolutely lovely and so is the food. However, the way they keep the camels is extremely distressing. Assuming these are the ones kept for breeding tied down to a stake with both of their front feet tied together as well. One poor camel was clearly showing signs of stereotypical behaviours and trauma with is front leg bent unable to move or walk away and head swaying. Asked why they bind their front feet together apparently because they fight I'm not surprised. Most also had muzzles on. Really unsuitable conditions for them to be kept in, especially the small pony in a tiny enclosure. Very, very sad. Severely distressing and so upsetting to watch. Lots of little birds kept in small avaries at the BBQ. A few stray dogs in the dessert but at least the nice people there actually do feed them. The dog by the way, despite being chained down seemed to be quite happy and is well fed.Written 22 October 2024
- Melanie G0 contributionsNo camels and no sunrise.I booked this to experience the sunrise. Firstly, the animals were not camels. They were dromedary. Secondly, we were not in the desert. The paths were cluttered with broken glass, which made us wonder if the dromedary would be affected. We also crossed busy main roads. Thirdly, the trip was booked for midday. I wondered if we were going to spend lots of time in the (non) desert to see the sunset, which was approx 19.26. Nope. Fourth, the driver was unaware that my group had dinner attached (the groups had different packages), with the driver having a furious conversation before telling us we would be taken to a local eatery. Overall, it was not that great. The title of the package is misleading.Written 5 October 2024
- Inspire168398727270 contributionsAwesome rideVery good! Trustworthy, friendly! They pick you up at the hotel and bring you back, no worries! Highly recommend. 5 starsWritten 18 September 2024
- Louise K0 contributionsLovely relaxing boat tripWe really enjoyed this boat trip, we caught some fish, had a swim in the sea and enjoyed barbecued fish with a fresh salad etc. The only negative is that the boat doesn't go much out of the port - it only sails for about 25 mins before being anchored.Written 30 August 2024
- Neil T0 contributionsFun,sea,viewsWhat an awesome experience, you get collected from your hotel and taken to the outskirts of agadir where you get to ride a quad bike, You go through some back roads and then towards the beach and then loop back, it’s about 2 hours this in total and one of the best experiences ever. The quad hikes are also bigger which means better performance and speed for the adrenaline junkies. The guides are super cool too, just as an fyi from an English speaker, brush up on your French or Arabic as the guides do not know much English but you can get buy and understand each other with gestures and basic broken French 😊Written 5 August 2024
- jonfor330 contributionsDecent Enough TripCamel Ride seemed to last for a good couple of hours with a ten minute break in the middle. Definitely an experience that won’t be forgotten. By the end I was ready to get off as my legs and back were aching… which should be expected. Regarding the food. The meat we got we believed to be goat which wasn’t something I’d want to eat again. However saying that, everything was prepared properly.Written 18 July 2024
- KJA330 contributionsNot what we expectedNot as advertised!! Not sure if there’s more than one of these trips as ours wasn’t the best. Booked through the love holiday rep. Sold as a sunset camel trek & barbecue, however the trek was down an awful dirt track with trucks coming past us. Was on the camel for over an hour and had a sore bottom by the end 😆 Dinner was nice but not a barbecue and also no sunset as back at the hotel by 8pm Also not overly thrilled with how the camels are living - all tied up with very short rope so they can’t really move!Written 12 July 2024
- MissAlice19800 contributionsA fabulous trip to an amazing cityThe pickup was punctual and Akram the guide was fabulous. The journey is long but we had a comfort stop and visit to the goats in the trees on the way. Akram gave us a great insight into Moroccon life but in the city’s, towns and villages. The drop off at the Mosque is great and then the tour of the market with stops for updates is great. The visit to the pharmacy is fabulous, lunch was awesome in a lovely restaurant and then free time flew by. A must do trip.Written 9 July 2024
- V5767BCannaw0 contributionsTrip was OK but nothing special.I really didn't knew what to expect, my kids was happy, I wasn't so much. It's pretty uncomfortable experience - dinner was simple - I was sure it will be somewhere outside in the tent but it was in restaurant with a very pushy owner and cats all around. Food was good but not the best I ate in Agadir. Overall just ok but I'm not sure if I would recommend it.Written 2 July 2024
- 16craigd0 contributionsAirport transfersPrebooked airport transfer to our hotel and service 5* so booked the return too. Easy/good comms with Ibrahim, driver friendly, on -time and a complimentary bottle of water each, nice touch when you've just arrived! Competitive pricing and allowed cash in £ or MAD. No hesitation in recommendingWritten 30 June 2024

A great tour and place to visit. Our guide was informative and the stops on the way well planned; a womens argan cooperative and a really nice service station (good coffee & clean toilets). The guided tour into the medina was interesting, we negotiated with the guide to leave the tour early before the part where we got to the restaurant (thankfully we did as another member of the tour said he left obliged to eat). It’s fun to wander around the medina and didn’t feel we got too lost. Definitely recommend walking to the edge of the harbour to see the fishermen and their boats. The souk was nice to walk around we didn’t feel hassled. Street music was great.
A brilliant day.

Ibrahim was amazing - we met him through our airport transfer and then used him to visit Agadir and then also a trip to Essouria. He also helped us with a transfer from Tagazhout to Marrakech.
2 young women he was very trustworthy and professional as were his drivers/tour guide.
Thank you Ibrahim!

Everything was well planned, and our guide, Hassan, was very thoughtful. Our grandmother, who is 84 years old, travelled with us and he always showed great care for her well-being. Essaouira is a lovely city with a lot of art galleries and shops from you to buy wonderful things to take back home. It is definitelly worth a visit. The women’s cooperative, which produces argan oil and other products, was also lovely to visit. Please do buy from cooperatives, as they employ women from the nearby villages. We hope you have a wonderful time, like we did!

Essaouria is an amazing city. Also our guide was really nice, the drive to Essaouria (which was 3hrs) did not seem long, because he was telling us alot of interesting facts!
We really enjoined the medina, and tried there some local cuisine (a place recommended by our guide) that was amazing

This was a great day out; our guide was knowledgeable and Essaouira was beautiful. The tour begins with a guided walk, lunch and then free time to explore the market and beachfront. It was lovely to escape the hotel and get a flavour of Morocco.
It is a windy journey so if you suffer from travel sickness I’d bring medicine!

A nice tour with a very nice guide and a reliable driver. The tour is an easy way to get from Agadir to Essaouira and get some background information. The time alone to explore Essaouira is too short, but enough to get a small idea of the city. The tour is recommended!

Bonjour
Nous avons un enfant de 8 mois:
Est il possible d’avoir un siège bébé ?
Doit on réserver pour deux adultes ? Ou pour deux adultes et un enfant ? Car le plus bas âge indiqué est 2 à 5 ans et notre fille a 8 mois.
Merci d’avance pour votre réponse rapide
