Know Before You Go

  • Booking: It's advisable to book your excursion in advance to ensure availability and allow for personalized arrangements.
  • Essentials: Water, snacks, sunglasses.
  • Tips: Easy hotel drop-off; confirm departure time. Traffic may slow near Marrakech.
  • Weather Considerations: Check the weather forecast and plan accordingly, as coastal conditions can vary.
  • Regional authorities have recently enacted a prohibition on the display of goats climbing Argan trees along the route to Essaouira, a visually striking phenomenon that has historically captivated tourists. This measure was introduced following concerns regarding animal welfare, prompted by evidence that certain shepherds were restraining goats in the trees for extended periods to capitalize on their appeal to photographers and visitors. Deemed detrimental to the animals’ health and well-being, this practice has led officials to implement stricter regulations, ensuring that tourism in the region aligns with ethical standards and prioritizes the humane treatment of livestock.

What a great day trip! The journey to Essaouira was comfortable, and the town itself was beautiful. The guide was friendly and informative, taking us through the charming medina and to the lovely beach. We had plenty of time to explore, and the seafood was delicious! Highly recommend this tour if you want a relaxing day out of Marrakech!
