Board the ferry in a premium seating area for a relaxing journey across the Strait of Gibraltar. Enjoy the comfort, sea views, and the unique feeling of traveling between Europe and Africa.

Upon arrival at Tangier, your private licensed guide will be waiting to begin your curated experience.

09:20 a.m. - Perdicaris Park & Cap Spartel

Start with a scenic drive through the upscale districts of Tangier, heading toward the green landscapes of Perdicaris Park. Continue to Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Here, enjoy a relaxed breakfast with stunning ocean views.

10:45 a.m. – Camel Ride Experience & Hercules Caves

Continue along the coast for a memorable camel ride on the sandy beaches of the Atlantic—an iconic Moroccan experience delivered with comfort and safety.
Next, explore the famous Hercules Caves, a place rich in myth and natural beauty.

12:00 p.m. – Kasbah & Medina Walking Tour

Return to the historic heart of Tangier for a guided walking tour through the Kasbah and Medina. Wander through narrow streets, discover vibrant souks, and observe daily life.
Visit a traditional communal oven and gain insight into local culture, traditions, and Moroccan hospitality.

3:00 p.m. - Lunch in the Medina

Your guide leads you to a beautifully appointed Medina restaurant, away from the tourist circuit, where the cooking is home-style, and the setting is entirely authentic. A traditional Moroccan lunch, perhaps a slow-cooked lamb tagine, a spread of colourful zaalouk and taktouka salads, freshly baked khobz bread, and pastilla if the season is right. Followed, of course, by more mint tea.

5:00 p.m - Farewell to Tangier | Escorted to the Port

At 5:00 p.m., your private guide escorts you back to Tangier Ville port. The city bids you farewell in its own way; the late afternoon light turns the white walls golden, the murmur of the Medina fading as you move toward the sea. You board the 6:00 p.m. ferry, your private wagon waiting for you once more.

06:00 p.m. – Ferry Back to Tarifa

The evening crossing has a different quality to the morning one — the light is warmer, the strait quieter, the sense of a day well-lived settling over you. Watch the Spanish coast return on the horizon as you carry your Moroccan memories across the water.

08:00 p.m. - Meet Your Driver in Tarifa - Return to Ronda

Your private driver is waiting in Tarifa as you disembark. The return drive to Ronda is relaxed and comfortable; the road home through Andalusia at dusk, the day's extraordinary experiences settling in. You arrive back in Ronda in the evening, dropped directly at your accommodation, complete with memories that will last far longer than any souvenir.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a passport for this day trip to Morocco?

Yes - a valid passport is essential. Morocco is an independent country and you will pass through border control on both the Spanish and Moroccan sides. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your travel date. National ID cards from most EU countries are not accepted for entry into Morocco; a full passport is required. Please ensure all members of your party have their passports with them on the day. Your tour leader will assist with all border formalities at both ports.

What should I pack for the day?

We recommend packing light but thoughtfully. Here is what to bring:

- Valid passport (mandatory — the trip cannot proceed without it)
- Comfortable walking shoes — the Medina lanes are cobbled and uneven
- A light scarf or shawl (useful in cooler moments, and as sun protection)
- Sunscreen and sunglasses — the Cap Spartel light is strong, even in spring and autumn
- A small crossbody bag or daypack for your essentials
-Camera or a charged phone — you will want to capture every moment
- A small amount of Moroccan dirhams (MAD) for personal purchases in the souks
- A light jacket or layer — the ferry crossing can be breezy and Tangier evenings are often cool
- Any personal medication you may need during the day

What is included in the private day trip to Tangier from Ronda?

Your booking includes: private door-to-door transfers from and to your Ronda address; a dedicated tour leader at Tarifa port; return ferry tickets in a private wagon; a private licensed local guide for the full day in Tangier; the camel ride experience on the Atlantic beach; entrance to the Hercules Caves; a curated Moroccan breakfast at Cap Spartel; a traditional Moroccan lunch in the Medina; and all transfers within Tangier by private vehicle. Alcoholic beverages, personal souvenir shopping, and gratuities are not included.

Is this trip suitable for families with children?

Yes - families are warmly welcome on this tour. Children tend to love the camel ride, the Hercules Caves, and the vibrant energy of the Medina. We recommend the tour for children aged 5 and above. Please mention the ages of your children when booking so we can personalise the experience accordingly. The walking sections are gentle and manageable for most ages, and the pace throughout the day is relaxed rather than rushed.

What currency is used in Morocco? Can I use Cards?

Morocco uses the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Card payments are accepted in some restaurants and larger shops, but cash is preferred — and sometimes the only option — in the souks and smaller establishments. Your breakfast and lunch are included, so you will only need cash for personal purchases. Your guide can direct you to a reliable bureau de change upon arrival.

Is Morocco safe to visit?

Tangier is a safe and welcoming destination, particularly when visiting with a knowledgeable private guide as you will be on this tour. Your Luxury Day Trips guide knows the city intimately and will keep your experience smooth, comfortable, and pressure-free. As with any destination, we recommend keeping a photocopy of your passport, staying aware of your surroundings, and following your guide's advice in the Medina. Our guests consistently report feeling completely at ease throughout the day.

What happens if the ferry is delayed or cancelled due weather?

The Strait of Gibraltar can occasionally experience strong winds (the Levante or Poniente), which may affect ferry schedules. In the event of a significant delay or cancellation, your tour leader will be in constant communication with you and the ferry operator. Where the crossing is not possible, we will work to reschedule your trip at no additional cost. Cancellations due to weather are relatively rare, but guest safety is always our first priority.

Can Luxury Day Trips accommodate dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Moroccan cuisine is naturally diverse and accommodating — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free guests are all well catered for. Please inform us of any dietary requirements or allergies at the time of booking and we will ensure your breakfast and lunch are prepared accordingly. Halal food is the norm in Morocco. We take dietary needs seriously and confirm arrangements with both venues in advance.
