Paradise Valley
Vallée du Paradis
A palm-lined canyon at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, with emerald swimming pools and rock diving spots. The most popular day trip from Agadir.
Paradise Valley lies in the Ida Ou Tanane mountains about 40 km northeast of Agadir. The Tantat River has carved a series of emerald pools through the canyon, lined with palms and oleanders. A hike of about 30–40 minutes along the river leads to the main swimming pool, where you can swim and dive. Simple cafés on the bank serve tagine and freshly squeezed juice. The roads are winding, so hiring a car or joining a half-day tour is recommended. You can combine the visit with the Imouzzer Waterfalls. Avoid entering the water after rain, when flash floods are possible. Summer weekends are very crowded.
