The experience
About this trip
Staying in Taghazout puts you between the two halves of this day. The Timlalin dunes are a short run down the coast from the village and the turn-off to Paradise Valley is a little way north, so this is the shortest version of the route.
We usually take the dunes first, while the sand is cool and the light is low, then cross to the foothills for the walk into the gorge and time at the rock pools. If the group would rather do it the other way round, that can be arranged.
Because the transfers are short, the stops run longer than they do on the Agadir departure. You are back in the village by late afternoon with the evening free. Pickup from Taghazout, Tamraght and Aourir is included.
