Activities and Excursions

Whether you are looking for a guide to help you explore the fascinating old Medina, with its bewildering maze of alleyways and secret treasures; or are looking to journey further afield – to visit the beautiful Ourika valley; trek the High Atlas Mountains; or maybe spend some time in the awesome Sahara – our experienced staff can provide invaluable help and assistance in organising guides and tours to help you make the most of your time.

Even if you are not booking your accommodation through Hip Marrakech, you can book your trip an excursion with us here.

Ouzoud waterfalls
For the more adventurous a three hour drive will take you to the mid Atlas and the majestic Ouzoud waterfalls, the highest in North Africa, with three spectacular tiers. This is also the home of the famous Barbary apes, the naturally tail-less monkeys that you find performing in the main square in Marrakech. It is delightful to see them roaming free in their native habitat.

Price: £92 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 to 11 hours

The Grand Tour
The Grand Tour circuit packs in as much as it is possible to see in a day from Marrakech. You will first drive up the picturesque Ourika valley passing numerous Berber villages before climbing up the ski station at Oukamdem. Your route then descends into the side Fers Valley, down to Asni and up to Imlil. Finally return to Marrakech via Asni and Tahanoute.

Price: £115 for 1 to 4 people
Duration: A day trip of approximately 10 hours

Essaouira
Previously known by its Portuguese name Mogador, a fortress still commands the entrance to the harbour and the Medina itself has walled ramparts. Essaouira is usually much cooler than Marrakech and can be windy at times, it is no coincidence that the world wind surf championships are held here.
