Detailed Experience & Itinerary
1. Scenic Coastal Drive to Timlalin
Your adventure begins with a prompt hotel pickup in Agadir or Taghazout. Relax on a picturesque 40-minute coastal drive heading north along the Atlantic highway. Pass through traditional fishing hamlets, surfing bays, and lush banana plantations before reaching the dramatic desert landscape of the Timlalin (Taboga) Dunes.
2. Gear Setup & Professional Coaching
Upon arrival at the base of the dunes, your expert local guide equips you with specialized sandboards and applies custom speed wax adapted to the sand conditions. You will receive a comprehensive safety briefing and practical coaching on stance, weight distribution, and turning before taking your first slide.
3. Dune Gliding & Sand Surfing Runs
Start on gentle, gradual slopes to master your balance, then progress to taller, steeper dunes overlooking the sea. Enjoy multiple runs at your own pace—stand up like a snowboarder, sit down, or slide belly-first toboggan-style for maximum speed and laughter.
4. Sunset Mint Tea Break
After an exhilarating session on the dunes, gather atop a scenic ridge for a traditional Berber tea ceremony. Sip freshly brewed hot mint tea accompanied by Moroccan pastries while watching the glowing sunset cast vibrant golden and pink hues across the desert sands and ocean.

Check Availability on WhatsAppSandboarding in Agadir — Frequently Asked Questions
A:Yes! Sandboarding is very easy to learn. Our professional guides start you on gentle, shallow slopes and provide hands-on coaching on stance and balance before you try steeper dunes. Children and first-time boarders pick it up within minutes.
A:The activity takes place at the magnificent Timlalin (Taboga) Sand Dunes, located approximately 35 km north of Agadir and 15 km past Taghazout. These massive dunes drop directly into the Atlantic Ocean, creating the famous 'Petit Sahara' of the Moroccan coast.
A:The afternoon / sunset session is highly recommended. As the sun lowers, the sand cools down significantly, the ocean breeze is refreshing, and the golden hour lighting casting long shadows across the dunes creates spectacular photo opportunities.
A:No prior experience is necessary. Sand offers natural friction which makes it easy to control your speed. You can glide standing up, sitting down, or lying on the board (toboggan style) for a completely safe and fun experience.
