About this day trip
Souss-Massa National Park runs along the coast south of Agadir, between the Souss and Massa rivers. The trip heads to the Massa side: a walk on the nature trail along the river, then the viewpoint over the river mouth and the dunes by the ocean.
The river attracts flamingos, herons and waders, and the park protects the rare northern bald ibis. Wild animals are never guaranteed — bring binoculars if you have them.
