Private Day Trip From Marrakech To Atlas Mountains & Waterfalls

This review is for a day trip and hike in the Atlas mountains. We are leisurely hikers that typically do easy-moderate hikes in LA. If you are looking for some nature and a way to be a little more active on your visit in Marrakesh, I highly recommend this awesome experience. Our trek guide, Hassan, was very experienced and was very kind and helpful to help us manage our energy ( lots of water breaks!) Our day included: - Pick up from our riad in Marrakesh - Private comfortable and clean van with AC and great driver - On the drive, we stopped at a couple scenic view points on the way to imlil valley (1st berber village, 2nd women owned co-op for argan oil products, Kasbah Tamadot stop, river/mountain views). Didn't spend more than 5-10minutes at each stop. The drive was delightful and gorgeous. It made us more more excited for what is to come. - When we arrived to the village, the Atlas Trekking company owner greeted us and explained our hike options (1, 2, 3 or 4 hours). He explained the level of difficulty for each, what you'll see and the terrain for each option - We felt adventurous and chose the 3 hour hike. This included a stop at the waterfalls, lots of uphill. Then lots of downhill of course. The mountain views are amazing!! - The end of hike included a home cooked meal that was so delicious. We were obsessed with the vegetables - Lastly, drop off at our hotel Tips: - Bring proper trekking shoes, hat, water bottle, sunscreen. - stretch beforehand - bring cash for buying a snack and tips (hiking guide, the cook, driver)

Such an amazing day! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a day trip and something different from the hustle & bustle of Marrakesh There was excellent communication from Jamal before the tour started answering all questions promptly over email The tour started with me & my wife being picked up in the main square and it was a 1.5 hour scenic drive to the mountains When we got to the town next to the mountains, we were picked up by our guide Ahmed Zin who was a great guide. He took us around the town and into the maintains. He explained the history of the town and answered all of our questions in depth. Ahmed told us some very interesting stories and asked us how long we would like to trek for and if we’d like to see anything in particular. We were greeted by so many friendly locals during the walk The hike ended with a delicious lunch

Such a great experience, excellent value and kind guides! We traveled as three American women with almost no knowledge and learned so much. Our guide, Ahmed (spelling may be wrong, sorry) was so excited and friendly to show us his culture. Highly recommend! They even gave us jackets for free to borrow because we weren’t ready for the cold!
