Drive north from Agadir to Imouzzer’s honey road for a short hike to natural pools and waterfalls, with time to swim, relax, and enjoy a local lunch before returning through banana villages.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slides across the windscreen as the van climbs the so-called "honey road," and palms give way to sun-baked cliffs cut by cool, blue pools. You arrive to rushing water and rock basins that dare you to step in; a short 20–30 minute hike from the parking area opens into natural pools large enough for a swim and small ledges used by locals for careful cliff jumps.
