Paradise Valley & Desert Dunes with Camel Ride and quad bike

Mixed review best bit Buggies disappointed with camel ride

This is a mixed review for this trip with some parts great, others good and other not so good. So maybe use it as a review of each part of the trip. Firstly it was easy to book and we split this 10 hour trip over 2 days at suggestion of agent. I'd certainly recommend this and we where collected with other direct from hotel by air conditioned mini bus with staff who spoke various languages including a good level of English. The first activity I'll take about is the trip to Paradise Valley, which was a 9.30am collection from hotel and collected other guests. The guide was informative throughout the journey taking about points of interest we passed and Moroccan culture. We made 2 stops on way, one to what was described as botanical garden, it was a small garden with a informative guide selling local products including Argan oil. It's was nice but more a sales stop. The second one was a lovely view in the Atlas mountain on route to Paradise Valley. It was a ceramics shop really, but again no pressure selling and items looked nice. Paradise Valley stop is a 15 minute walk along a track lined by small places to buy stuff or have a drink or bit to eat. Again no pressure to buy. I'd say if you have mobility issues you would struggle as steps and stepping stones across river. Though they do have donkeys that I believe you can hire. Paradise Valley is a small actual area with a pool of nature water from the mountains which you can swim in and in one location jump into from about 3 meters. We got an hour and half to relax here. It was busy but not when we went overly. The trio back is different way with no stops and we got back to hotel at 1pm. It's nice trip with informative guide in lovely scenery. The previous day we did Buggies/quads, camel ride and BQ. Which was from 2om and got back to hotel just after 9pm. First we did the Buggies and you can chose Quad's as well. This was around 2 hours activity, which was very enjoyable with a mixture of scenery including sandy dyes near the Sea. I'd say the buggies were great fun and took 2 people. You got the briefest of briefing, but you could as for more help. It's like driving a kart with accelerator and brake only, full roll cage and seat belts. No issues for myself but was a minor bump between buggies when someone failed to brake hard enough. I would say a brake test before starting main trip might be useful for some customers. The trip itself was great and being at back had opportunity to hang back and floor it to catch up with group, guides good and filmed me and took pictures. Had a couple of stops one by the sea for pictures and another for obligatory Morocco tea lol and some traditional music. Id highly recommend this trip Next moved to the Camel ride with local Bedouin people, this sadly wasn't in the same location. It started off on a piece of waste land and took you through waste land to a carpark by a river. At times it resembled a dumping site, which was a disappointment and clearly whoever was using this trip didn't care about guests enjoyment. That said it was hour on the back of camel and once you got over disappointment at location you did get to ride these beautiful well looked after animals. They also do horse riding and these to the untrained eye as they rode by looked like the stereotypical Arabic horses and had the pleasure of seeing one being ridden at full speed which was magical even in the surroundings. I wish they had cleaned the area up and these would have greatly enhanced the enjoyment. The BQ is an extra for €20 at a community building with shops downstairs and place to eat upstairs. It was a 2 course meal rather than BQ, First course was a traditional chicken dish which was a little dry but nice and the second course was more chicken cooked over open fire. It was ok but wouldn't recommend personally. Basically I d only recommend Buggies/Quads and Paradise Valley out of this full trip. The Camels with a bit of work on the site could be good, but let's be honest it's Morocco you expect sand and palm trees as background not wasteland.

Information

To start the communication and time keeping was really good. They whatsapp to confirm the time and booking. ( many don't in this part.) My friend who was on a quad bike for the first time enjoyed it. However the down side was the speed that we travelled at. It was very slow and for a person that's been riding a motorbike for years it got extremely boring very quickly. I tried to make it more fun by going slow to give me an open path to catch up but I was very soon told I'm not allowed to do that and have to ride at the same speed throughout.( through the journey i did not get close to any other rider to make it dangerous) I was extremely disappointed and felt like it was a waste of money. Also if you've gone on quad bikes in a different country you'll also find it very slow. Hope this helps you make a more informed decision 👍 😀
