Sandboarding Tour from Agadir: Timlalin Dunes and Canyons

About this activity

Sandboarding in Agadir is easier than you might expect, and the Timlalin Dunes are one of the most scenic places to try it. This half-day tour takes you north along the Atlantic coast to a stretch of golden sand where the dunes run down toward the sea. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you can simply relax and enjoy the ride.

Before the dunes, you stop at the colorful painted houses of Aghroud, known for their rainbow colors and sea-facing murals. You then take a guided walk through dry riverbeds and limestone canyons before reaching the sand.

At Timlalin, your guide hands out the boards and shows you how to stand, sit or lie on them. Then you climb, slide and repeat at your own pace. Beginners are welcome, and the tour suits couples, families and anyone who wants an active break from the beach.

On the evening departure, the session ends with sunset views over the Atlantic cliffs before the drive back along the coast. Daily departures leave at 09:00, 14:00 or 16:00.
