Guided Taghazout Hiking Tours & Treks
Tizi Hike runs small-group and private Taghazout hiking tours straight from the coast into the mountains behind the village. Taghazout is famous for its surf — but ten minutes inland the argan forests, canyons and ridgelines begin, and almost no visitors ever see them.
Every hike is led by a local Berber guide born in nearby Aourir. From an easy day at the Paradise Valley guided hike with its natural pools, to a coastal ridge walk above the Atlantic, to the challenging summit hike near Agadir — we match the trail to your group and collect you from your Taghazout or Tamraght hotel.

How Far Is Paradise Valley From Taghazout?
Paradise Valley sits roughly 35 km inland from Taghazout — about 30 to 40 minutes by road up the Tamraght valley, depending on which pools you're heading for. There is no direct bus, and grand taxis will drop you at the roadside car park where every other visitor starts. Every one of our Taghazout hiking tours includes pickup from your door, and our guides walk in from a different side of the valley entirely.
