Canyoning Marrakech

Morocco Adventure

How about joining us in Morocco to experience this amazing activity. We head to the Ourika Valley to explore these amazing canyons and descend through deep mountain gorges from top to bottom. You will need a good head for heights as you abseil over the edge of some fantastic waterfalls, you will be scrambling over rocks and wading through pools of water. Sometime these gorges are wet and this makes for a spectacular adventure through some of the most beautiful scenery.

Your Canyoning Trip

Discover the hidden beauty of Morocco while canyoning with us in the Ourika Valley. Located only forty-five minutes from the Red City of Marrakech, our canyon trips let you see another peaceful side most visitors don't experience. Scramble and climb over boulders and rocks, slide yourself down rockslides and jump into shallow cascade pools going further into the heart of the canyon, surrounded by lush green hanging vines, bird calls, frogs and maybe even a snake or two. A 5m and a 20m waterfall abseil completes your trip and the view from each is equally stunning. Walk back to where the van is parked among the mystery of the valley with it's red hills and hardy vegetation, look high up you might even see sheep or goats watching you. It's a half day trip you won't soon forget.
