Sandboarding Experience in Agadir

Summary: This was truely the best day of our trip to Agadir. We have enjoyed this beautiful place so much but this trip was extra special. We were collected promptly in our tour guides lovey clean vehicle. Then we drove up north to Aghroud, a beautiful little villiage then on to Timlaline where we did the Sandboarding The drive took just over an hour but it passes quickly. Our guide, Rachid, was incredible. His local knowledge is great and he was able to tell us a lot about life in this glorious part of the world. The Sandboarding was great fun. We had 2 children with us. Our 9 year old had the time of her life. The 3 year old was a little more reserved but other 3 year olds could enjoy this activity - ours is just a little timid. She enjoyed playing in the sand regardless. Rachid was so patient with us and was able to get us all to do it! As a bonus - the views from Timlaline dunes are phenomenal. Sandboarding its self is tiring, and the walk to get to the dunes made it a great work out!! Thankfully, there were some Camels placed near where we were Sandboarding so some of us grabbed the chance to take a ride back to the car - another fun activity rolled in. This did cost us an additional 100dh to the camel owner - which we were more than happy to pay!! After the Sandboarding Rachid drove maybe 1 minute then we went a short walk down to see the Canyon - again, incredible and worth doing the wander around. Was nice to cool off in the shade too!! We were also very lucky to be invited to Rachid’s family home to share a lunch they had prepared for us; a chicken tagine with lovely bread & salad followed by mint tea - the best we’ve had then finally we sharedmore of the delicious bread with a verity of dips as a sweet treat. Sadly I have forgotten the correct name for this but there was something like almond butter, a honey, something with Aragon oil and one other dip plus a nutty/ cinnamon type topping. Honestly the best meal I have had during our trip with such welcoming hosts. We felt very lucky to have this experience - it felt truly special to experience Moroccan hospitality like this in their beautiful home. And last but not least, when we left Rachid’s home to head back to our hotel, we stopped at a little shop and were treated to a bunch of the ‘little bananas’ - you see these growing in abundance in the area. These were delicious - we had to wait until we got hungry again to try them though!! I wanted to leave a lengthy review to help other families decide if this trip was good for children or not. We very nearly cancelled as I was unsure how our 3 year old would cope with the day but I am so glad we decided to go ahead. We will rember this day for a long time to come and also, when we return - we will do it again.

Summary: We had such a great day! The driver picked us up at 8am outside of our Riad in Marrakech and was driven down to Agadir for the experience. The driver was friendly, and we felt so safe in the car that was spotlessly clean. Once we got to one of the villages we met Rachid who was our guide for the day. He showed us around the coastal villages, his local village as well as a lovely hidden gem for some food and to see some camels before sandboarding. Once we got to the sand dunes, he took us through this cool passageway before showing us to a great sand boarding spot with the sea in the background. After a quick tutorial, we got to try sandboarding that wax a lot of fun. And Rachid got some great photos and videos for us to remember it by. We were dropped back off at our Riad by 9pm so it was a long but very fun and action packed day. The driver did so well in getting us there and back. Thanks for a great experience, would highly recommend!
