Morocco Day Trips & Private Excursions from Marrakech and Essaouira
Morocco-only private tour company · Licensed English-speaking drivers · Hotel/riad pick-up & drop-off
See more of Morocco in a single day with our Morocco day trips and private excursions from Marrakech and Essaouira. Instead of sharing a bus with dozens of people, you travel in a private AC vehicle with your own driver, visiting Atlas Mountains villages, the Agafay Desert, Ouzoud waterfalls, Essaouira medina, Sidi Kaouki surf beach and the countryside around the Atlantic coast. Each day trip is designed to help you make the most of your limited time, with all logistics handled and a clear return time to your hotel.
How Our Morocco Day Trips Work
Our Morocco day trips are fully private or small-group on request, not big-bus excursions. Your English-speaking driver meets you at your riad or hotel in Marrakech or Essaouira, and you travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with flexible timings within a realistic framework. Itineraries are tested for road conditions and daylight, so you see as much as possible without feeling rushed or returning late at night.
There are both full-day and half-day experiences, including Atlas Mountains day trips from Marrakech, Agafay Desert sunset tours, Ouzoud waterfalls day trips and Essaouira private day trips to Sidi Kaouki, argan cooperatives or dunes and forest. You get door-to-door service, no forced shopping stops and 24/7 in-country support from a Morocco-only specialist.
Our day trips from Marrakech let you swap the medina for mountains, waterfalls, desert or the Atlantic in just a few hours. All Marrakech day trips below are private, with hotel/riad pick-up and drop-off, a licensed driver and a clear schedule so you are back in Marrakech by evening.
From the Atlantic town of Essaouira, our private day trips in Morocco focus on coast, countryside and slow travel. These Essaouira day trips are ideal add-ons to a stay by the sea: short drives, rural stops and flexible experiences tailored to your energy.

FAQ – Morocco Day Trips & Private Excursions
You choose one of our Morocco day trips from Marrakech or Essaouira, and we confirm pick-up time and location at your riad or hotel. A private English-speaking driver collects you in an AC vehicle, follows a tested itinerary with planned stops and returns you to your accommodation by an agreed time.
On our private day trips in Morocco, you do not share the vehicle with strangers, there is no fixed bus timetable, and you have more control over photo stops, cafés and pace. You avoid waiting for large groups, forced shopping stops and rigid schedules typical of cheap bus excursions.
Yes. Many families book our Marrakech day trips and Essaouira day trips because having a private driver makes it easier to adapt breaks, lunch times and walking distances. If you travel with young children or older relatives, we can suggest the most suitable routes and adjust the pace.
Most full day trips from Marrakech and day trips from Essaouira last between 8 and 10 hours door to door, depending on destination (Ouzoud and Essaouira are longer than Ourika or Agafay). Half-day experiences, such as Agafay sunset or quad near Essaouira, typically last 3 to 5 hours.
Yes. Because our Morocco day trips are private, we can often adjust departure times, add or remove stops and sometimes combine experiences (for example, Atlas + Agafay on two shorter days, or countryside + Sidi Kaouki from Essaouira). Tell us what you want to see and we will advise on what is realistic in one day.
In general, prices include private AC vehicle, English-speaking driver, hotel/riad pick-up and drop-off and fuel.
