Overview
This combination suits travellers who want to use one excursion day for two different landscapes. An argan-cooperative stop leads into the valley walk and time near the pools; lunch follows before the journey to the coastal dunes. You gain variety, but it is a fuller schedule than choosing either outing alone. Think about how much time you want to linger in one place before booking the combination. Swimming remains dependent on conditions, and the dune stop can be enjoyed for the scenery as well as the activity. Check the selected option for exactly what is included.
Good to know
- Wear comfortable walking shoes or sneakers for the valley hike
- Don't forget your swimsuit and a towel if you want to dip in the pools
- Sunscreen and a hat are highly recommended - the sun can be strong!
- Vegetarian and vegan lunch options are available upon request
- The hike in Paradise Valley is moderate (approx. 20-30 minutes each way)

Questions before you book
Why choose a combined day rather than just the valley?
The programme adds lunch and a coastal dune stop after the valley. Choose it for variety, while allowing for more travel and a fuller schedule.
Is swimming certain at Paradise Valley?
No. The tour information includes time by the natural pools, but water levels and local conditions determine whether swimming is appropriate.
Does the day include an argan stop?
Yes. The itinerary begins with a cooperative visit and an amlou tasting before the valley section.
