here’s an honest review .. there’s very mixed ones on here but we thought it was definitely WORTH IT! if you like walking , and stunning views why not for such an affordable day out! we went on (7th feb 2025) so very recent so this is exactly how it was.. we chose the morning slot (8.30am) we stayed in an air b&b so we selected the nearest hotel, which was no issue.. i’d say it was better in the morning as the heat was more bareable for us.
firstly - you get picked up and drive about 20mins to ‘botanical gardens’ and have a tour of a wonderful garden and see homegrown plants, the lady presenting was so well knowledged, then you have a tour inside, get to try a range of local hunny’s which were BEAUTIFUL! and then get shown all different types of oils & lotions, this was very interesting as we love natural products so we really enjoyed it, the products were fairly priced aswell. we bought quite a few things. (pictures of this at the end of uploads)
secondly- you drive about 30mins to a ‘view point’ where you can take some pictures of the beautiful scenery, then 10 minutes after stop at a local shop to buy a drink if needed (we bought things with us) then a further 10 minutes to paradise valley.
lastly- when you’ve arrived at paradise valley it is rocky terrain in some parts (wouldn’t do it if you have issues with walking / mobility) the walk was maybe 25/30minutes through a forest, it was so beautiful. (on the way there’s little shops where locals sell drinks if needed)
once arrived at the valley, there’s a beautiful area to relax or jump in and swim (some people did, too cold for us) but we then relaxed here for about 40mins (which was more than enough time) it was gorgeous there we throughly enjoyed it! then you walk back (quite up hill) but worth getting those extra steps in. you then do the round trip back to agadir city which took about 1hr 15mins.
all in all , DEFINITELY RECOMMEND , i’ve added a lot of pictures to really give a feel for the beautiful scenery and landscape, true authentic morocco! if you’re a walker and love a nice view, it’s definitely for you!
