Guided hike and boat ride: the most reviewed listing
This listing is rated 4.7 from 40,510 reviews in our October 2026 check, from €19. The day includes about 3 hours' drive each way, a coffee stop, about 4 hours at the falls (lunch, tour, boat ride, walking) and a return around 7 pm. Depending on the option, the guide and boat are included; lunch is included only with one option and the private version, otherwise it is paid on the spot (about €12 to €13). Reviews are mixed: travellers like the boat ride and viewpoints, less so the length of the drive. A private version is offered, seen at €235 per group of 7.
What you really pay
The price shown on GetYourGuide is for transport and the welcome. On site, three costs come up in the listings and reviews: the boat to the foot of the falls (about 20 dirhams, around €2), a local guide (about 30 dirhams, around €3) and lunch (€5 to €15; one traveller quotes 120 dirhams for a three-course meal with a bottle of water). In total, about 170 dirhams per person if you take all three, with lunch at around 120 dirhams. For access to the site, see the Ouzoud Falls page: entry is free.
Ouzoud with boat and monkeys: another safe pick
This offer is rated 4.8 from 4,768 reviews and starts at about $17. It includes pickup, an air-conditioned minibus and a local guide. The listing contradicts itself on lunch, saying it is included and then that it is not, and marks the boat, guided visit and meal as extra costs: ask for the detail before paying.
Guided tour and boat ride: transport, the rest on site
This listing is shown at around $16 for 10 to 11 hours. It can also be booked as a private tour. One traveller notes that the price mainly covers transport, with the boat (20 dirhams), the guide (30 dirhams) and lunch to pay on site; the listing gives a lunch of about €10 paid in cash.
Full day: the lowest fare
This offer shows around $10, with pickup, minibus, driver and a local mountain guide, for about 10 hours. The listing also mentions "food and drinks" while stating that lunch is not included: treat it as payable. It flags a significant change in elevation and about 200 steps to climb on the way back.
Day trip with guided boat ride: a long day
This offer lasts about 12 hours, with pickup at your riad or hotel (extra beyond 5 km from the centre). The extras paid in cash on site are the boat (about €2), the local guide (about €3) and lunch (€5 to €15). One of its listings shows 4.6 from 160 reviews. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Private trip: comfort, and a price to read closely
This private offer lasts about 10 hours with an air-conditioned vehicle, bilingual driver, transport insurance and a local guide. It is shown at around $94 to $95: check whether this is per person or for the group. The boat is optional and paid separately (one traveller says they paid $10 to $15). Lunch is listed as included on one version of the page and as extra on another. Ratings range from 4.6 to 4.9 on small samples (15 to 34 reviews).
What is not included, and the pitfalls
- Boat, guide, lunch: see above, in cash on site. Withdraw dirhams before leaving.
- Steps: the descent is long and the way back includes about 200 steps; bring shoes with good grip.
- Macaques: keep your distance and do not feed them, as they can become aggressive.
- Length: 10 to 12 hours including about 2.5 to 3 hours of driving each way.
- Choosing a guide: a guide is optional as the paths are well marked; if you take one, agree the price first.
- Alternative: the Ourika valley is closer; see also our guide Ouzoud, Ourika or Essaouira.
Which offer to choose?
- Most reviewed: the guided hike with boat ride, from €19 (4.7 from 40,510 reviews).
- Tight budget: the $10 offer, keeping 170 dirhams for the extras.
- First visit: the highest rated offer (4.8), asking what lunch includes.
- Couple: the private trip, for a calmer pace.
- Family: the private trip or a small group; the day is long and the descent steep for little ones.
- Swimming: bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to enjoy the pools, which are not supervised.
- Short on time: the Ourika, which is closer.
Booking at the best time
