Agadir is one of Morocco’s most visited coastal destinations, welcoming travelers to 300 days of sunshine and a 10km crescent beach.
a thriving food scene, and some of the most dramatic desert and mountain landscapes in North Africa just an hour away, things to do in Agadir are almost endless. Whether you’re here for a week or just a cruise stopover, this guide covers the absolute best Agadir activities you should not miss in 2026.
We’ve been running tours in Agadir since 2011, so this isn’t a generic list copied from a travel blog — it’s a firsthand guide from people who live and work here every single day.
1. Ride a camel on the beach at sunset
No visit to Agadir is complete without a camel ride in Agadir. Morocco’s most iconic animal experience, a sunset camel trek along the golden sands of Agadir beach is one of those moments you’ll talk about for years. Our guided rides depart in the morning, afternoon, and at golden hour — the 4pm and 6pm slots are the most popular in summer. Prices start from just €22 per person with hotel pick-up included.
2. Explore the Atlas Mountains on a quad bike
If you’re looking for adrenaline, quad biking in Agadir takes you off-road through dramatic desert landscapes at the foot of the Anti-Atlas Mountains. You’ll navigate sandy tracks, dry riverbeds, and open dunes — no experience required. This is consistently one of our most booked Agadir excursions and is suitable for adults and teenagers from age 16. From €40 per person.
3. Swim in the natural pools of Paradise Valley
About 60km from Agadir, hidden in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, lies one of Morocco’s most breathtaking natural spots. Paradise Valley from Agadir is a palm-lined gorge with crystal-clear freshwater pools perfect for swimming. The drive alone is spectacular — a winding mountain road through Berber villages and argan tree forests. Our full-day tour departs daily at 8:30am and returns by early evening. From €22 per person.
4. Sail the Atlantic on a full-day boat trip
Spend a day on the ocean on our Agadir boat trip, which includes coastline cruising, a fishing break, a swimming stop in open water, and a fresh Moroccan barbecue of fish caught that morning. It’s one of the most relaxing ways to spend a day in Agadir — perfect for families, couples, and groups. From €40 per person including meals and fishing equipment.
5. Race through the dunes on a buggy safari
For something even more intense than quad biking, our Agadir buggy biking tour puts you behind the wheel of a two-seat off-road buggy and lets you loose on open desert terrain. It’s loud, dusty, and absolutely exhilarating. Groups love this one — the photos are unforgettable. From €45 per person.
6. Soak in a traditional Moroccan hammam
A traditional hammam in Agadir is one of the most culturally rich Agadir activities you can do — and one that travellers consistently say was a highlight of their trip. The hammam ritual involves a steam room, a full-body black soap scrub, and an optional massage using local argan oil. It’s deeply relaxing and completely unlike anything you’ll find in a European spa. From €35 per person.
7. Wander the stalls of Souk El Had
Souk El Had is one of the largest traditional markets in Morocco, covering an entire city block with hundreds of stalls selling spices, handmade crafts, argan oil products, leather goods, fresh produce, and Berber textiles. Our guided Souk El Had tour takes you through the market with a knowledgeable local guide who explains everything you’re seeing, helps you negotiate fair prices, and takes you to the stalls that tourists never find on their own. From just €20 per person.
8. Take a day trip to Marrakech
One of the most popular things to do in Agadir is actually to leave it for the day. Our Marrakech day trip from Agadir departs early morning and gives you around five hours in Morocco’s most iconic city — enough time to walk the Medina, visit Jemaa el-Fna, explore the souks, and have lunch before returning to Agadir in the evening. It’s a 3-hour drive each way through stunning mountain scenery. From €70 per person.
9. Float above Agadir in a hot air balloon
For a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, our Agadir hot air balloon ride launches at sunrise and carries you silently over the Souss-Massa plains, the Atlantic coastline, and the distant Atlas Mountains. The views are unlike anything you can get from the ground. This is our most premium experience and books out weeks in advance in summer, so reserve early. From €210 per person.
10. Discover Berber village life
Our Berber villages trip from Agadir takes you deep into the Atlas Mountains to communities that have maintained their traditional way of life for centuries. You’ll visit family homes, learn about Berber culture and history, share mint tea with locals, and see a landscape of terraced farms and ancient kasbahs that most tourists never get to experience. This is sustainable, responsible tourism at its best. From €80 per person.
11. Ride the Agadir cable car
The cable car in Agadir (téléphérique) carries you up to the Oufella hillside overlooking the city, the bay, and the Atlantic ocean in one sweeping panorama. It’s one of the best viewpoints in all of Morocco and especially spectacular at dusk when the city lights begin to twinkle. From €40 per person.
12. Take the kids to the dolphin show
Families with children love our Agadir dolphin show — a professionally run marine show featuring dolphins, sea lions, and educational performances about ocean conservation. It’s one of the most-reviewed family Agadir attractions in the city and runs daily. From €50 per person.
13. Sample Agadir’s street food on a food tour
Our Agadir food tour takes you through local neighbourhoods to discover the real Moroccan cuisine that restaurants don’t serve tourists. You’ll try freshly baked msemen flatbread, slow-cooked tagine from a neighbourhood kitchen, grilled sardines straight from the harbour, and Moroccan pastilla. A must for food lovers and one of the most unique Agadir activities available. From €75 per person.
14. Learn to cook Moroccan food
Our cooking class in Agadir starts with a guided market visit to buy fresh local ingredients, then moves to a traditional kitchen where you’ll prepare tagine, couscous, and fresh Moroccan bread from scratch. You’ll leave with recipes, skills, and a very full stomach. From €60 per person.
15. Watch the sun set over the desert on a Sahara trip
For the most dramatic experience on this entire list, our Agadir desert trip takes you south toward the Sahara landscapes of southern Morocco for a half-day or full-day experience of sand dunes, camel riding, and the kind of silence and sky that city life never offers. Our 2-day version includes a night in a Berber desert camp. From €45 per person for the day trip.
