What to Expect from the Tour

Starting with the spectacle of goats climbing argan trees, the tour provides a rare glimpse into traditional agricultural practices. Our review mentions how guides like Mohammed are not only knowledgeable but also friendly—allowing visitors to hold a baby goat and even climb the trees with the goats, which is a highlight for many.

Following this, the trip transitions to the Crocodile Park, where you’ll enjoy free time to explore and observe a variety of animals, including crocodiles, snakes like anacondas, and other exotic species. Reviewers noted that the crocodile park is well worth the visit, with lots to see and learn, especially if you go later in the day to avoid feeding time at 12 pm, which can sometimes be noisy or busy.

The guide’s insights add depth to the experience, making it not just a sightseeing trip but an educational one. From detailed explanations of the animals to anecdotes about local culture, guides like Mohammed enhance the authentic feel of the tour.

The Goat on Trees Experience

One of the most distinctive parts of this tour is witnessing goats perched high up in argan trees. This isn’t just a photo opportunity—it’s a fascinating look at how local farmers and goats coexist. The goats are naturally inclined to climb for the argan fruit, which is harvested for its oil, prized worldwide.

Reviewers consistently praise guides like Mohammed, who are not only knowledgeable but also friendly and accommodating. Sophie mentions how Mohammed “allowed us to hold a baby goat and climb the tree with the goats,” which adds a personal touch that elevates the experience beyond mere observation. Just a heads-up: travelers are advised to tip the goat handler, as he often provides this interactive experience.

The scenery here is quite picturesque, with the lush green argan trees contrasting against the rugged Moroccan landscape. It’s a quick stop but packed with charm and photo opportunities.

Inside the Crocodile Park

The Crocodile Park is a standout feature of the tour, especially for animal enthusiasts or families with kids. It’s a chance to get up close and personal with various reptiles and other wild animals.

Many reviewers highlight that the park is worth spending a few hours in, especially if you enjoy learning about animals. Emma notes that “the croc park is really interesting and a good way to spend a few hours.” The park’s layout allows for free exploration, letting visitors walk around at their own pace and take as many photos as they like.

Be aware that the park’s feeding time is at noon, so if you want to see the crocodiles active, visiting later in the day might be preferable. This flexibility is helpful for planning the rest of your day in Agadir.
