Paradise Valley Day Trip from Agadir: Hiking, Natural Pools & Fish Pedicure
Adventure Brief
Escape Agadir for a day to swim, scramble and cliff-jump at Paradise Valley. This 6-hour trip blends short hikes, palm-lined pools, and a quirky natural fish pedicure for a hands-on Atlas foothills experience.
Sunlight strips across the rock terraces as the Tamraght River scours its way through a gorge that dares you to wade, climb, and leap. On a full-day run from Agadir, Paradise Valley opens with a mosaic of palm-fringed pools, short canyon steps and smooth basalt ledges—places made for cooling off and quick, heart-thumping cliff jumps.
