If you’re looking to add a splash of adrenaline to your trip to Morocco, this quad biking and sandboarding tour from Agadir offers an exhilarating mix of adventure and scenic beauty. While it’s just a few hours long, it packs plenty of fun, stunning views, and the chance to experience Moroccan landscapes away from the typical tourist trail.
What we love most? The expert guides who keep the experience safe and engaging, the breathtaking views of dunes and the ocean, and the authentic Moroccan hospitality during the tea break. The only consideration? The activity’s physical nature means it’s best suited for those who are comfortable on bikes and sandboards. This tour suits adventure lovers, first-timers, and those craving a memorable outdoor experience outside the city.
Key Points
- Authentic adventure: Combines quad biking and sandboarding for a full desert experience.
- Guided expertise: Professional guides provide full instruction, making it suitable for beginners.
- Stunning scenery: Dunes and Atlantic views make for incredible photo opportunities.
- All-inclusive comfort: Hotel pickup/drop-off, safety equipment, and a Moroccan tea break.

Why This Tour Stands Out
This adventure is designed for those who want more than just a quick ride through the dunes. It’s about enjoying the landscapes, learning a bit about Moroccan culture, and having fun in the process. The professional guides — like Mohamed and Hassan, praised in reviews — make all the difference. They’re friendly, attentive, and passionate about sharing their knowledge, which adds a layer of authenticity and reassurance.
The three-hour duration strikes a good balance: enough time to feel immersed without it dragging on. The small group size (only up to 15 travelers) keeps things personal, allowing guides to tailor the experience and check on everyone’s comfort levels.

In-Depth Look at the Itinerary
Pickup and Initial Drive
Your adventure kicks off with hotel pickup, which makes things super convenient. You’ll be driven to the outskirts of Agadir, passing through local towns like Inzegane and Ait Melloul. These stops offer a glimpse into everyday Moroccan life, with vibrant markets and orange groves, setting a lively tone before heading into the dunes.
Takate: The Starting Point of the Dunes
The first real stop is at Takate, which the tour refers to as the Agadir desert. Technically, Agadir is a coastal city, but this area features expansive sandy terrain and dunes that resemble a desert landscape. Here, you’ll get a quick safety briefing and full instruction from guides, whether you’re a novice or experienced rider.
This part is free of charge, but the real thrill begins once you hit the dunes. We loved the way guides like Mohamed encourage beginners, making sure everyone feels comfortable before heading into the sandy terrain. Reviewers mention Mohamed’s friendliness and excellent hospitality, including offering Moroccan mint tea in the desert, which adds a cozy touch to the adventure.
Tifnit: Sand Dunes and Sandboarding
The highlight is undoubtedly the sand dunes at Tifnit. This stretch gives you the chance to conquer the golden sands on a quad bike or try your hand at sandboarding — a surprisingly fun sport that involves sliding down dunes on a small board.
One reviewer shared, “I had a fantastic time quad biking and sandboarding on the dunes. The scenery was amazing and the activity was really fun.” The guides make sure everyone gets a turn, and the full instruction means even complete beginners can give sandboarding a try.
The views here are spectacular — think expansive golden dunes with the Atlantic Ocean in the background. It’s the kind of scenery that makes for jaw-dropping photos, especially at sunset, when the dunes glow softly in golden light.
The Moroccan Tea Break and Photo Opportunities
Midway through, you’ll pause for a complimentary Moroccan mint tea — a welcomed refreshment after some exhilarating riding. As you sip your tea, you can enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic, capturing Instagram-worthy shots of the dunes and coastline. Reviewers frequently mention this as a highlight, especially Mohamed’s hospitality and the scenic backdrop.
Return and Drop-off
After the tea break, the group heads back to Agadir, passing through local towns and offering a glimpse of everyday Moroccan life. The tour concludes with hotel drop-off, making the entire experience hassle-free.
What’s Included and What’s Not
This tour offers great value with a comprehensive package:
- Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off, 2 hours of quad biking, guided tour, 30 minutes of sandboarding, Moroccan tea break, and photo opportunities.
- Not included: Food and drinks beyond the tea, and gratuities for guides. These are typical extras, and many travelers find the overall cost reasonable given the activities and comfort.
The Experience from the Traveler’s Perspective
Reviewers praise the professionalism of the guides. Ashley_H called the guides “very friendly and welcoming,” emphasizing Mohamed’s hospitality during the desert tea break. MarieFlore_P appreciated the guide Hassan’s passion, calling him a true professional.
Participants also love the scenery. From the moment you start riding, you’ll notice the stunning mix of coastal views and dunes, making it a photographer’s dream. The small group size means guides can keep an eye on everyone, offering help and encouragement, especially to beginners.
Many mention how the activities are well-paced — not too rushed, with enough time to enjoy each segment thoroughly. Sandboarding, in particular, receives praise for being accessible and fun, even for first-timers.
Practical Tips for a Great Trip
- Wear comfortable, breathable clothing suitable for active outdoor fun.
- Bring sunglasses and sunscreen — the Moroccan sun can be strong.
- Consider wearing closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting dusty.
- Since the tour is approximately 3 hours, allocate some extra time for transportation and potential delays.
- Don’t forget your camera or smartphone — the views are stunning and worth capturing.
- Tips are not included, but if you feel guides like Mohamed or Hassan go above and beyond, a small gratuity is appreciated.
Is This Tour Right for You?
If you’re after a fun, outdoor activity that combines adventure with stunning scenery, this tour is hard to beat. It’s suitable for beginners thanks to full instruction and safety gear, but even seasoned riders will find the dunes exhilarating. Perfect for families, groups, or solo travelers craving a Moroccan outdoor experience.
Keep in mind, it’s physically active — so if you’re not comfortable on bikes or don’t enjoy physical activity, you might want to consider other options. However, the guides’ friendly approach and the scenic stops make this a memorable outing for almost everyone.
