The experience
What to expect
Taghazout is a small village, so this works as an evening out rather than a full day. We collect you from your riad or hotel, take the coast road south, and have you at the ranch near Agadir inside half an hour.
The ride is the same loop as always: an hour through eucalyptus forest out to the banks of the Souss River, where flamingos and other migratory birds gather. On the sunset departure the handler stops at a viewpoint as the light drops, and takes the photographs for you.
Afterwards there is mint tea and snacks at the ranch, then the drive back north. You are in Taghazout before dinner service, which is the reason people book this from the village rather than from a city hotel.
