Are the Ouzoud waterfalls doable as a day trip from Marrakech?
Yes, the Ouzoud waterfalls are very doable as a day trip from Marrakech — they’re about 170 km northeast, roughly two and a half to three hours each way, leaving several hours at the falls before returning the same evening. It’s one of the most popular full-day excursions from the city.
At the falls you can admire the 110-metre cascades from viewpoints, walk down to the pools, take a short boat ride to the base, and watch the wild macaques in the olive groves. Lunch on a terrace over the water is part of the experience.
It’s a long day but a rewarding one, and a refreshing green contrast to the desert and city. We run this as a private day trip with hotel pickup — tell us your date and group size for a price.
