About this experience
This tour combines the best of Morocco’s coast, desert, and culture in a single day. Unlike standard excursions, you’ll experience both the Souss Massa National Park with its rare wildlife and bird species, and the “Mini Sahara” dunes near the Youssef Ben Tachfine Dam. Travelers enjoy exclusive stops such as the wild Sidi R’bat beach with its fishing caves, the panoramic viewpoint over the dam, and the historic silver city of Tiznit.
We keep our groups small for a more personal experience, with plenty of time for photos, wildlife spotting, and cultural discoveries. All fees are included—park tickets, traditional Moroccan lunch, hotel pickup, and professional guide—so there are no hidden costs. Optional extras such as a short camel ride or quad biking on the dunes allow you to customize the day to your style.

Detailed itinerary
1
Discover Morocco’s wild beauty on a day trip to Souss Massa National Park from Agadir. This protected reserve is one of the country’s most important natural areas, home to rare wildlife and stunning Atlantic landscapes. With your guide, explore a park created to protect endangered species such as the North African ostrich, Dorcas gazelle, and the reintroduced Scimitar-horned oryx. Birdwatchers will love the chance to spot flamingos, herons, and the very rare bald ibis.
2
Discover one of Morocco’s most unspoiled stretches of coastline at the wild beach of Sidi R’bat, located at the edge of Souss Massa National Park, just 50 km south of Agadir. Famous for its golden sand, dramatic Atlantic waves, and hidden fishermen’s caves carved into the cliffs, Sidi R’bat is a true hidden gem for travelers who love nature, photography, and peaceful landscapes.
Unlike the busy beaches near the city, Sidi R’bat wild beach offers an authentic and tranquil experience. Here, you can walk along endless stretches of untouched sand, admire the raw power of the ocean, and see traditional fishing boats resting on the shore.
The beach is also part of the Souss Massa National Park ecosystem, which makes it an excellent spot for birdwatching. Flamingos, herons, and sometimes even the rare bald ibis can be spotted near the Massa River mouth.
3
The park’s scenery is just as impressive as its wildlife. From sand dunes and rocky cliffs to fertile valleys with argan trees, Souss Massa offers a mix of Morocco’s most iconic landscapes in one place. Many itineraries also include a visit to the fishing village of Tifnit with its colorful wooden boats, a stop at the Youssef Ben Tachfine Dam for panoramic views, and time to explore the peaceful “Mini Sahara” dunes at Massa—perfect for photos, walking, or optional camel rides.
