Taghazout Surf Coast Trip

Spend a laid-back half day in Taghazout, Morocco’s legendary surf village, just 30 minutes north of Agadir. World-class waves, tree-climbing goats, bohemian cafes, and the most relaxed vibe on the Atlantic coast.

The Famous Tree-Climbing Goats

On the way, stop at the argan forests where goats climb the trees to eat argan fruit — one of Morocco’s most surreal and photographed sights. Learn how the precious argan oil is made from these very trees.

Taghazout Village

Once a sleepy fishing village, Taghazout is now a world surf destination while keeping its soul: colorful houses stacked above the beach, fishermen mending nets, surfboards everywhere, and cafes serving avocado smoothies next to traditional msemen. Walk the beach, watch surfers at Anchor Point, and soak in the atmosphere.

Panorama and Banana Village

The tour includes stops at Banana Village (Aourir) with its banana plantations and the panoramic viewpoint over Taghazout Bay’s luxury resorts and wild beaches.
