Great day out

Maciek_B, Apr 2024

Great day out, for the price of this tour I would strongly recommend it to get out of busy Marrakech for a day.

Underwhelmed!

Nicola_H, Jan 2024

Sadly our overriding memory is of a 7 hour 25 min return drive for 3 hours at the waterfalls. In part due to the police stopping the driver and because of paperwork issues he was not able to drive the minibus so a new bus and driver needed to be sourced but no info was forthcoming and no apology! Waterfalls from the top nothing special but at the bottom they are more impressive. The boat ride is under 10 mins but worth booking on this tour as the boat trip alone at the falls is 25 euros per person! Your guide will take you to a designated terrace for lunch - not included - and price is reasonable for starter, tagine, fruit and water at approx £10 but if you are on a tight budget the restaurants at the top of the falls are half the price! Monkeys are fun to look at and watch their antics. However, all in all really quite underwhelmed.

Here is an honest review from an experienced traveller

Priscila_R, Aug 2023

I am a waterfall lover. I’ve been to waterfalls all over the world and no matter what, a waterfall never disappoints me but I don’t recommend this experience and I will state all the positive and negatives below. I hope it helps you to make a decision. The pick up time was bang on time and easy, it was a great start and professional. Communication was good before the day and I knew exactly where to stand. They picked us up from Cafe France in the middle of the Jemal el Fna square in Marrakech but they also do pick ups from Riads around the city. We knew the journey was approx 3 hours each way and I was ok with that but it was very frustrating when, as soon as our mini bus was full and we were ready to go, the driver kept stopping (at least 3 times and without explanation) to simply chat with his mate in one ocassion and at a different time to even deliver what it seemed to be two bottles of oil (?) to a bar. All this added at least 20 minutes to our journey. The minibus we travelled in did not have enough leg room. My partner is 5.9 and had to sit twisted for 3 hours and I ended up having sore knees. I’ve had more leg room in airplane toilets! The mini bus had air conditioning but it can get a bit chilly so be ready for this. The seat we were in had a broken aircon outlet and we had to stuff a tshirt so we would not freeze as it could not even be regulated. The roads are good and the journey is basically what it feels like a straight line. The driving was very good! Once at the waterfall, we were greeted by a guide and headed to the waterfalls in a very large group with other people. You start the journey at the top of the waterfall. The fall is beautiful but the water is muddy. The journey continues down where you see overfed monkeys and locals trying to sell you peanuts so you can feed them. Please don’t do this, the monkeys did not even feel healthy, they were all fat from all the food tourists give them. It was very sad to see them exploited that way. Once at the bottom, the guides direct you to certain restaurants so you can “rest” but also spend your money. At this point we decided to go our way and spend a bit longer at the waterfall taking pictures and I’m glad we made that decision because once you are at the bottom they only allow you to get on the boat and there’s not much time for pictures. At the bottom of the waterfall there are a lot of locals swimming. The waterfall is muddy because of the soil but it was also very dirty, full of rubbish and very badly looked after. The water smelled badly in certain areas as well. It was sad to see all the rubbish the locals leave behind. The “boat ride” is simply a quick ride to cross for one side to the other, which I don’t recommend paying for, even though us only 20 D. You can do the crossing walking, make sure you have comfortable shoes, although we did it in flip flops and even my elderly parents could cross it with a bit of help. One more thing about the boat ride… After talking to customer service, apparently, I selected an option that did not include the boat ride, even though in the details of my reservation said it did include it (see screenshot attached to the review) and the tour guides made us feel like criminals who were trying to steal from them or trying to get the ride for free. It was pretty embarrassing. The information from the booking is confusing as it says it includes certain services that it does not include at the end, so again, quite disappointing and unclear experience. Once on the other side, they take you to a restaurant (you can’t choose, they take you to the one they have an agreement with of course) and there’s a set menu. The food here was good, they greeted us with cold water which was lovely. The food was the highlight of the day after a bit disappointing experience so far. They charge you 12€ for the set menu. You can also use the toilet, please ignore the woman asking for 20 dirham, you are already spending money at the restaurant! At this point we were a bit fed up to be treated like a bank by the locals. After the hike (approx 2 hours and pretty easy and accesible to do) the tour guide was spraying people with water from the canal - which again I did not find very hygienic! On our way back to Marrakech we stopped for a break and when we were about to leave, they asked us to move mini buses once we were already sat uncomfortably in our narrow seats (communication was poor). Luckily, the other mini bus had better leg room, phew! In conclusion, I believe they have a lot of work to do when treating tourists and I do not recommend doing this trip with this company or the tour operator for all the stated reasons. Beware of miscommunication!

Beautiful

Nicholas_G, Jun 2023

Beautiful place and well worth the trip. It is a lot of travelling for a very limited amount of time at the waterfalls though.

Great trip

Katarzyna_K, May 2023

Great trip. Picked up on time. Good helpful driver. The excursions are amazing. Such a stunning place.

Not worth it

CorinaTess_M, May 2023

Not really worth it. It's a really long drive, the boat ride was cancelled and no refund was offered, the guide was super pushy and overall it just wasn't worth the time or money. The monkeys were cool, only reason it gets 2 stars instead of 1.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

I'm sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. A long drive can certainly be tiring, especially if the other aspects of the tour didn't live up to your hopes. There is a procedure to follow with Viator and not the tour operator in order to process the partial refund. We did not receive any request from Viator. It's good to hear that you found the monkeys to be a positive aspect of the tour, which influenced your rating. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I hope your future experiences are more enjoyable.

9 hours on the road. 2...

AdiPetrut_V, May 2023

9 hours on the road. 2 hours on site. :-( Better time organization it will help in enjoying more of the purpose of the trip.

Lovely day out

Iqra_R, Apr 2023

Amazing day out with a lovely group and tour guide. Stunning views of the waterfall. Little boat ride was also a fun experience, get to go right close to the base of the waterfall. Few diving spots nearby for swimming. Had lunch in a lovely cafe right opposite the waterfall.

Apes, omg

Michael_Y, Apr 2023

Great tour, very friendly! Some miscommunication about the start time (the site says 8 but they insisted on picking up at 730, so pay attention!) but they were great all day to keep us on track. Thanks again :)

Ouzoud Morocco Waterfalls Tour March 2023

Jack_L, Mar 2023

Viator was on-time, efficient, and provided comfortable transportation. We went from Marrakesh to Ouzoud Waterfalls in Morocco. It is a 3 hour drive each way. Our total price of $25 each included the transportation from our hotel, a boat ride that took us within 10 feet of the falls and an English speaking guide who navigated us from the top of the falls down to the lake at the bottom. This was a great value!

Excellent guide and good...

Linda_W, Mar 2023

Excellent guide and good trip. It was a long day, but we'll worth the time. Staff were professional and helpful.

Pretty, but very long day

Anthony_S, Feb 2023

Long day. No communication with driver about the trip. The guide at the falls was informative and chatty though. We paid in advance for the boat trip but everyone went on it anyway. Hosted by Easy Transfers.

The perfect day trip!

Denislava_I, Jan 2023

Very well organised, the guides were absolutely great and the Ouzoud waterfalls are a must see in Morocco!! One of the best parts is that you get to feed the monkeys!

Jalal the guide was great, the waterfall is great and the boat to the waterfall was really fun to us!

Perfect Trip

Naveed_Z, Oct 2022

Perfect tour and setup was great. Driver and guide both were very thoughtful, knowledgable and cooperative. Many Thanks

Good experience

Joanna_H, Sep 2022

Good your - quite a long drive from Marrakesh, however it is worth it as the view is lovely. Spend around 3 hours at the waterfall - mostly at a cafe for lunch. Don’t by the boat tickets online - get them at the site!

Amazing experience but slightly false advertisement

Maria_L, Jun 2022

Beautiful scenes and an amazing tour guide! The trek was very uphill and downhill on uneven ground so wouldn’t recommend if you have any mobility issues or are cautious. The views were amazing and we took breaks often for photos. The boat ride was not included as advertised but was only an extra 10 MAD per person. Lunch was amazing - home cooked traditional Moroccan food (approx. 100 MAD per person).

Great trip to Ouzoud

Dean_G, Mar 2022

Our guide, Tarzan did a great job in making our tour really great. The hike and the falls were both great.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you have enjoyed your activity with us with a great package deal. Regards

Nice experience

Nicolas_N, Aug 2021

Pros : Great spot ! Our great guide Abdelouahed made sure we had the best experience and gave us lots of information about a little bit of everything. He was both sweet and funny. The food there was tastier than in Marrakech. I definitely recommend. Cons: little details : the pick-up was scheduled at 8AM and we waited for the van to fill and left after 9AM. Air con didn't work so well despite that it was a pretty hot day (45°C). Aside from that, thumb up.

Good trip if you're staying in Morocco for a longer holiday

Tatiana_R, Oct 2019

Me and my husband enjoyed the trip as we were staying in Marrakesh for a bit longer and we needed a short escape from this crazy city. It takes like 3 hours to get there, then 3 hours to spend around the waterfalls and another 3 hours to come back. There are some cute monkeys around the waterfalls to look forward to.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you for your honest feedback , we are happy to hear that our service did met your expectations and we look forward to welcome you again to Morocco . Regards Issam
