What you'll see and do
Caves of Hercules
The Caves of Hercules is an archaeological and natural cave complex located at Cape Spartel, Morocco, about 14 kilometers west of Tangier. The caves have a rich blend of mythology, history, and natural beauty. They are famous for a sea-facing opening shaped like the African continent, often called "The Map of Africa," believed to have been created by the Phoenicians. According to Greek mythology, Hercules rested in these caves before performing his eleventh labor: retrieving golden apples from the Garden of the Hesperides said to be nearby.

*TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tangier usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tangier is not rushed.
Is *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tangier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tangier can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tangier and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does *TOP SELLER*Tangier: Shore Excursion Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tangier within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tangier?
+
On Outty we rank every Tangier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tangier Private Full Day-Trip to Chefchaouen, 7 days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech Morocco Tours, 3h Private Walking Tour in Tangier Kasbah Medina & Colorful Souks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tangier?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tangier?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
