Our Ouzoud trips are priced per vehicle, for your whole group. You do not pay for a seat in a shared bus: you pay for a private vehicle with its driver, plus whatever your offer includes. Private transport starts at €180 for 1 to 7 people, and the total you see in the booking form is the total you pay, split between a 50% deposit online and the balance in cash on the day. For the whole budget of the day, with tips and worked examples by group size, see what a day at Ouzoud really costs.

The vehicle price depends only on the size of your group: the minivan for 1 to 7 people, the minibus for 8 to 17. The local guide option is priced per group and only applies to private transport, since the guide is already part of the private Ouzoud day trip and the premium day. The boat ride and lunch are priced per person and can be added to the transport and tour offers; both are included in the premium day.
How much will your group pay? Worked examples
A few real totals, calculated exactly as the booking form does:
- Private transport, 2 people: €180 for the minivan, so €90 each. Add a local guide at the falls for €50 and the total is €230.
- Private tour, 4 people: €230 for the minivan with the guide, so €57.50 each.
- Private tour with boat ride and lunch, 4 people: €230 + 4 x €5 + 4 x €30 = €230 + €140 = €370, so €92.50 each.
- Premium day, 2 people: €230 + 2 x €35 = €300. For 4 people: €230 + 4 x €35 = €370.
- Private tour, 12 people: €250 + 12 x €7 = €334 for the minibus with the guide, so €27.83 each.

What is included and what is not?
Always included in every offer: a private vehicle and driver for your group only, pickup at your hotel in Marrakech (or the nearest gate if you stay in a medina riad, see riad pickup), the drive there and back, and the time at the falls.
Never included: tips for the driver and guide, which are entirely up to you, drinks and personal purchases. Anything outside your chosen offer is also extra unless you add it as an option, for example lunch on the transport offer. The total shown in the form is the total for your trip, with no hidden extras.
Why is per-vehicle pricing good value for families and groups?
With a per-person price, a family of five pays five times. With a per-vehicle price, the minivan costs the same for two travellers or for seven. On the guided tour, that is €115 each for a couple but about €32.86 each for a group of seven. The same applies to the minibus for larger groups of friends or several families travelling together, up to 17 people.
It also means no strangers in your vehicle, no waiting for other hotels on the way, and a day that follows your pace: stops when the children need them, more time at the viewpoints if you want it.
How do the deposit, balance and cancellation work?
- Deposit: 50% of the total, paid online when you book, by PayPal or by bank card through PayPal. Your booking is confirmed by email straight away.
- Balance: the other 50%, paid in cash to your driver on the day of the trip.
- Free cancellation: up to 48 hours before the trip, the deposit is refunded in full.
- Late cancellation or no-show: the deposit is not refunded.
- Weather: if a storm or a closed road makes the trip unsafe, you choose between a new date and a full refund of the deposit.
The full conditions are in our terms.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price of an Ouzoud private tour per person or per vehicle?
Our price is per vehicle for your whole group. The minivan takes 1 to 7 people and the minibus 8 to 17. The private tour with a local guide costs €230 in the minivan for two people as for seven, so four people pay €57.50 each. Only the boat ride (€5) and lunch (€30) are charged per person.
How much does a private trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Waterfalls cost?
Private return transport with a driver costs €180 for 1 to 7 people and €250 for 8 to 17 people. The private tour with a local guide at the falls costs €230 for 1 to 7 people, or €250 plus €7 per person for 8 to 17. The premium day costs €230 plus €35 per person for 1 to 7 people, or €250 plus €42 per person for 8 to 17: €300 for two people, €370 for four.
What is never included in the price?
Tips for the driver and guide are never included and are entirely up to you. Drinks and personal purchases are not included either. Anything outside your chosen offer is extra unless you add it as an option, for example lunch on the transport or tour offer. Entry to the falls is free, so there is no ticket to pay.
How much deposit do I pay and how?
You pay a 50% deposit online when you book, by PayPal or by bank card through PayPal. For four people on the guided tour (€230), that is €115 online and €115 in cash to your driver on the day. Your booking is confirmed by email as soon as the deposit is paid.
Can I cancel and get my deposit back?
Yes, if you cancel up to 48 hours before the trip, your deposit is refunded in full. For a later cancellation or a no-show, the deposit is not refunded. If weather makes the trip unsafe, such as a storm or a closed road, you choose between a new date and a full refund of the deposit.
Does pickup in the medina cost more?
No. Pickup anywhere in Marrakech is included in every price, at your hotel entrance or, for riads inside the medina, at the nearest gate or car park the vehicle can reach. Departure and return from Casablanca is available on every offer for €180 per vehicle; see our day trip from Casablanca. For a pickup elsewhere, write to us on WhatsApp before booking so we can tell you what is possible.
Can I take a taxi from Marrakech to Ouzoud?
City taxis in Marrakech are not made for a 300 km return trip, and a grand taxi hired for the day still needs to be negotiated and does not include waiting time or local knowledge. Our private transport is the organised version of that idea: a licensed tourist vehicle, a driver who waits at Ouzoud while you visit, and a fixed price of €180 for up to 7 people.
Should I book Ouzoud on GetYourGuide or Viator, or directly?
Platforms mostly sell shared group tours, with set times and a bus of other travellers. Booking directly with us means a private vehicle for your group only, pickup at your hotel or medina gate, your own pace at the falls, and a fixed price per vehicle shown before you pay. You pay a 50% deposit online and the balance to the driver. We compare the three main platforms in detail on GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis or direct.
