Private day trip from Agadir
Taghazout Surf Day Trip from Agadir
A private full-day escape up the coast to Morocco's surf capital — a two-hour beginner lesson at the mellow beach break, the cliff walk to the famous Anchor Point and a slow afternoon on Banana Beach. Hotel pickup, private driver, no shared coaches.
The short answer
The Taghazout surf day trip from Agadir is a private full-day excursion — from $90 per person — that drives about 20 km up the coast to Taghazout, Morocco's surf village, for a two-hour beginner surf lesson with a certified instructor and all equipment, the cliff walk to the famous Anchor Point, and a relaxed afternoon on Banana Beach. It runs door-to-door from your Agadir hotel with a private driver and no shared coaches.

Morning
Agadir pickup & transfer to Taghazout
We collect you from your hotel and head north on the coast road. Taghazout is only about 20 km away, so you are parking above the village in roughly 25 minutes. We walk the narrow lanes down to the beach access to meet your surf instructor.
Late morning
Two-hour beginner surf lesson
A two-hour lesson at the sandy beach break south of the village with a certified local instructor. They cover ocean safety, board control and riding the white water; wetsuit, board and rashguard are provided. Most beginners are up and riding by the end of the session.
Midday
Anchor Point walk & village
Change and walk the short cliff path north of the village to the Anchor Point viewpoint — on a good swell you can watch long-boarders and shortboarders peel down one of Morocco's most famous point breaks. Time to wander the village murals and rooftop cafés, with lunch paid locally.
Afternoon
Banana Beach & return to Agadir
Drive a few kilometres south to Banana Beach (Aghroud), a wide, gently shelved sandy cove that is calmer than Taghazout and good for swimming. Spend the afternoon at your own pace, then a final mint tea before the easy drive back to your Agadir hotel.

Who this day trip suits
First-timers who want to catch a wave
The lesson runs at a forgiving sandy beach break with a certified instructor and all the gear, so total beginners can stand and ride in a single morning — no experience and no equipment of your own needed.
Couples, friends and resort guests
Staying on the Agadir corniche or in Taghazout itself and after an easy coast day — we collect you from your lobby, handle the logistics and have you back the same afternoon at your own pace.
Non-surfers and mixed groups
You do not have to surf to enjoy the day. The Anchor Point viewpoint, the village murals and the swimming at Banana Beach make for a full coast outing while the rest of the group takes the lesson.
Visitors who want a local, hassle-free day
A private driver who knows the village, the beach breaks and the cliff path turns Morocco's surf capital into an easy, low-stress day out from Agadir.
Planning your day, practically
Timing
A morning pickup gets you on the water before the wind picks up, with the lesson, the Anchor Point walk and lunch through the middle of the day and an easy afternoon on Banana Beach. You are usually back in Agadir by late afternoon.
Distance & drive
Taghazout is about 20 km north of Agadir on the coast road — roughly a 25-minute drive. Banana Beach (Aghroud) sits a few kilometres further along, so the whole day stays within a short, scenic coastal stretch.
Surf & conditions
Beginners learn at the gentle sandy beach break rather than the heavier point breaks. Taghazout works year-round; bigger autumn-to-spring swells light up Anchor Point for watching, and we advise on conditions when you book.
Group size
Typically 2–6 travellers per private vehicle. Mixed groups of surfers and non-surfers are easy to arrange — just tell us your numbers and who wants to take the lesson.
Taghazout surf day trip from Agadir: frequently asked
How far is Taghazout from Agadir and how long is the trip?
Taghazout sits about 20 km north of Agadir on the coast road, roughly a 25-minute drive. Our tour runs as a full day, leaving in the morning and getting you back to your hotel by late afternoon — enough time for the two-hour surf lesson, the walk to Anchor Point and a relaxed afternoon on Banana Beach.
How much does the Taghazout surf day trip from Agadir cost?
The private Taghazout Surf & Yoga Day starts from $90 per person, depending on group size and season. The price includes hotel pickup, a private air-conditioned vehicle and driver, the two-hour beginner lesson with a certified instructor and all surf equipment. Lunch and drinks at the village cafés are paid locally. Send your dates and party size for a written, itemised quote within 24 hours.
Can a complete beginner take the surf lesson?
Yes — the lesson is built for beginners. It runs at the sandy beach break south of the village, which is gentle and forgiving rather than the heavier point breaks Taghazout is famous for. Your certified instructor starts with ocean safety and board control on the sand, and most first-timers are riding the white water by the end of the two hours.
What is included in the surf lesson and what should I bring?
The two-hour lesson includes a certified local instructor and all equipment — board, wetsuit and rashguard. Bring swimwear to wear under the wetsuit, a towel, sun cream and a change of clothes. We carry bottled water on board, and you can leave valuables locked in the vehicle.
Can non-surfers come along on the same trip?
Absolutely. Because the day is private, non-surfers can relax on the beach during the lesson, walk up to the Anchor Point viewpoint, explore the village murals and cafés, and swim at Banana Beach in the afternoon. The vehicle and driver are yours, so the group moves together at a shared pace.
Is this a private tour, and when is the best time to go?
It is 100% private — the vehicle, driver and pace are yours alone, and we never pool travellers. Taghazout works as a year-round surf coast; beginner conditions at the sandy break are best in calmer swell, while autumn to spring brings the bigger swells that light up Anchor Point for watching. Tell us your dates and we will advise on conditions.
