Plan
For those with a car, it will be easy to reach the Ranch de Diabat, located just 3 km from the city center. You will be sent a map and GPS location by email, and you can park with complete peace of mind in the Ranch's private parking lot.
Upon your arrival at Reception, you'll be greeted by our staff who will show you the safety instructions for the quads. You can then fill out the rental contract and meet your instructor, who will help you choose the right helmet size.
Before departure, your guide will give you a short test drive to reassure you and put you at ease. After this, you'll be ready to set off on this wonderful quad bike excursion.
Leaving the Ranch de Diabat, you'll find yourself on a dirt road that runs alongside the Qsob River, home to several species of both migratory and resident birds. By turning off the engines, you can observe and photograph them from behind some bushes.
Continuing along the same road, you will reach the ocean in just a few minutes. Ranch de Diabat is located very close to the sea and is an ideal starting point for all types of excursions.
You will head south along the very long beach, where on your left you can see the first dunes, behind them the mimosa and eucalyptus forest, and on your right the infinite Atlantic Ocean with its waves pounded by the trade winds.
You'll arrive at the large dunes known as Omar, and shortly after, a fishing village where seasonal fishermen live in small wooden huts facing the sea. It's not uncommon to be invited for tea; the people here are truly kind and welcoming.
Not far away are the incredible freshwater springs that flow from the beach, where at low tide semi-free animals come to drink.
You will reach the highest point of this excursion, the large dunes of Cap Sim, which when viewed look like an expanse of sandy waves constantly moving thanks to the Essaouira wind.
The magic and beautiful energy emanating from this place are tangible: behind you is the beautiful Cap Sim lighthouse guiding ships out to sea towards the port of Essaouira, and in front of you is the Atlantic Ocean.
Two seas border each other, one made of very high dunes and the other made of waves, truly magical.
Before returning, there are two more important stops on this beautiful route: on the beach you can admire the ruins of the Portuguese Castle, built by the Phoenicians to spot approaching ships, and the island of Mogador with the remains of the prison and the minaret of the mosque where, now a protected area, the Eleonora's falcon breeds.
