The Natural Pools of Paradise Valley Agadir
Paradise Valley is a canyon carved into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, between Agadir and Imouzzer. The site owes its pools to a spring that feeds them year-round. The colors range from celadon green to deep blue depending on the light. Your local guide, a true expert on the region, knows the water levels by season. He will direct you to the accessible areas. Explanations are available in French, English, or Arabic.
Who is it for and what you should know
The excursion requires no special physical fitness. The walk is short and the terrain remains accessible. It is not suitable for people in wheelchairs. Maximum capacity of 20 people. Ideal for an outing with family, friends, or on your own. To extend your stay, browse our catalog of activities in Agadir and the surrounding area.
Tip from the team
Wear your swimsuit under your clothes to save time. Bring enough water. There are no water stations along the trail. The water in the pools stays cool even in summer. If you’d like to extend the experience, our sunset camel ride in Agadir is a wonderful way to follow up this half-day in the Atlas Mountains.

Customer reviews
Top activity! We began by visiting the botanical garden, where many products made from argan and natural plants are produced (special mention to the almond paste: AMLOU which was excellent). We then moved on to the Paradise Valley, where water springs flow among the mountains, offering a magnificent landscape that makes you want to stay. I totally recommend it!
