If you are in Agadir, to get to Paradise Valley you will need to head first to a small town called "Aourir", there you will find taxis and Vans that will take you directly to Paradise Valley.

By bus:

To go from Agadir to Aourir you should first head to a place called "Batoire", it's a famous place in Agadir. Whoever you asked can give you directions to it. It is the chaotic square where Taxis and buses wait in line to receive passengers.

The bus that takes from Agadir to Aourir is bus number 31 with only 5.5dh. If you missed this one there is also number 33 with a price of 7.5dh.

The price difference is because the last's last stop is not Aourir. Bus N° 33 proceeds also to Taghazout and further north. So make sure you ask the bus driver to drop you in Aourir or pay attention to the signs on the way.

By taxi:

In every city in Morocco, there are grand taxis and also small taxis. Small ones can take you wherever you want inside the city and don't have the right to take passengers outside the city borders. Whereas grand taxis can take passengers for long rides outside the city area.

In this case, you will need to take a grand taxi (white color). So when you head to the "Batoire square" look for the sign that says Agadir to Aourir. If you couldn't find it just ask someone. The ride takes about 15 min and the price is no more than 7dh.

Once you are in Aourir, you will find taxis and vans (usually old ones) waiting to complete the number needed of people to start the ride. For taxis, it's 6 people and for vans, it might be 12 it might be more :D.

None of these two ways are comfortable, to be honest. You can pay for two seats to have enough space for you inside the car during the ride. The price of the ride is 20 to 50dh per person, it depends on the season.

Welcome to Paradise Valley

The car will stop next to a small sign that reads "Welcome To Paradise Valley" in a small parking lot. Congratulations you made it. Then you will have to walk for about 20 min to reach the main spot or the first natural pool.

The first spot is beautiful, it is surrounded by local restaurants that offer Moroccan tagines and drinks. The water is fresh and very inviting and also it's a great place for cliff jumping lovers. But as this spot is easy to get to, it's usually crowded and noisy.

It's better to go a little bit further for about another 20 min. There is another stunning natural pool with less noise and higher cliffs to jump from.

I personally prefer this spot to the first one. When I go to the valley I usually go there and watch locals and tourists jump off those high cliffs, it's really entertaining to see.

For the way back you need to head back to the small parking in the entrance of the valley. There you find taxis or vans that will take back to Aourir.
