Overview
Lift from Asni pad, cross the Atlas ridge, lunch by the lagoon at Oualidia. Up to four guests. Pilot included.
The fastest, most cinematic way to see Morocco. A private Airbus H125 lifts from the Asni helipad below the High Atlas, climbs over the Toubkal ridge, traverses the Marrakech plain and lands beside an oyster restaurant on the Oualidia lagoon. Lunch on the deck, two hours by the water, and back to Marrakech before sunset.

Frequently asked
Questions about this tour.
Is "Atlas to Atlantic Helicopter" private or a group tour?
100% private. Just you and the people you book with — your own driver, vehicle and pace from start to finish. We never pool travellers.
Can I change the dates or itinerary?
Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a day, swap a riad, change the start city — we'll re-quote in 24 hours and lock the price in writing before any deposit.
How fit do I need to be?
Easy. Light walking on medina cobblestones, plus optional activities you can opt in or out of on the day.
When should I book?
For high season (Oct–Apr) and any trip involving the Sahara or hot-air balloon, book 8–12 weeks ahead. Last-minute (under 14 days) is usually still possible with a phone call.
