What to Expect from This Adventure

This tour is designed to give you a taste of Morocco’s diverse landscapes while keeping the experience fun and manageable. It starts with a hotel pickup in Agadir, where your friendly driver will transfer you to the meeting point near the quad biking garage. Once there, you’ll meet your guides — known for their helpfulness and patience, as praised by previous travelers — and gear up for your adventure.

The quad biking segment lasts close to 2 hours** and takes you through the Moroccan countryside, weaving through eucalyptus forests and across sandy, rocky terrains. You’ll get to drive your own quad, which offers a real sense of freedom and excitement. Reviewers like Riccardo described the journey as “crazy,” but also highlighted how the breathtaking views of dunes overlooking the ocean make every moment worth it.

The guides are attentive, ensuring everyone is comfortable, and some, like James, note how Majid, their guide, was very patient — especially helpful if you’re new to riding. You might find yourself stopping frequently for photo ops or just to take in the scenery, which includes views of the sea contrasting sharply with the vast desert.

After your quad ride, you’ll take a break to relax and hydrate, often enjoying Moroccan mint tea, a small but appreciated touch that adds a local flavor to the experience. Then, onto the highlight: sandboarding. You’ll ascend to the massive dunes, then slide down on a board designed specifically for this activity. Reviewers like Riccardo and Amy rave about the adrenaline-filled descent, with Riccardo mentioning how the view from the dunes “overlooking the ocean” is truly stunning.

The sandboarding session lasts around 30 minutes, enough to get a few runs in and really enjoy the thrill. Many describe it as “mega fun,” with guides constantly checking that everyone is OK and encouraging first-timers to try their best, which makes the activity accessible even if you’ve never done it before.

Once all activities are complete, a comfortable transport will take you back to your hotel, ending the day with plenty of stories to tell.
