If you have a night or a free afternoon in Tangier, these half-day trips cover the coast west of the city and the old town. Most of them share the same three stops: Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a camel ride on the beach and the Hercules Caves. The difference is whether a guide comes along, which entry tickets are included and what is added: Asilah, a sunset or the medina.

Four ways to spend half a day

Cap Spartel in a morning

About three hours with a driver: the lighthouse, a viewpoint, a camel ride on Achakkar beach and the Hercules Caves. The tickets for the caves and the cape are paid on site.

Summarised from the operator’s listing on the booking platform. Where the listing contradicts itself, the note above says so.

Driver or guide

The Cap Spartel trip by Xauen Travel & Tours and the sunset trip by Tangier Tour list a driver, not a guide. One reviewer praises a driver who shared facts and history along the way. If you need a language other than English, choose it on the option when you book: two Spanish-speaking travellers who ended up in an English-speaking group missed a guide in their language. On the Asilah trip a local guide joins you in the medina of Asilah, and the half day by Easy Transfers has a professional guide for the whole tour.

Tickets paid on site

Xauen Travel & Tours lists the tickets for the Hercules Caves and Cap Spartel as not included on the short coastal trip, and the cave ticket as not included on the Asilah trip; bring cash for both. Easy Transfers leaves out entry to all attractions, the caves included. Tangier Tour lists the visit to the small Hercules cave as included. The camel ride is part of the price on the Xauen trips and the sunset trip.

Arriving by ferry

The Asilah trip picks up from your hotel, the port or the airport, which suits a morning arrival from Spain. The Xauen coastal trip and the sunset trip collect you from your accommodation; medina guests on the Xauen trips meet at a nearby central point such as Hotel Continental, Bab Kasbah or Grand Socco. The Easy Transfers listing does not mention port pickups, so ask after booking if you come straight off the boat.

Asilah on a Friday

Reviewers of the Asilah trip note that many shops in Asilah close on Fridays and that the beach is busy on Sundays. Pick another day if the shops matter to you.

What travellers enjoyed on the Tangier tours

Drivers who share local history, the camel ride on the beach and a visit to Asilah stand out in the reviews. One guest on the sunset trip had hoped to see the Hercules Caves.

FAQ

Are the Hercules Caves included on the Tangier tours?

It depends on the tour. The sunset trip by Tangier Tour includes the small Hercules cave. On the Xauen Travel & Tours trips and the Easy Transfers city tour you pay the cave ticket on site.

Is there a guide on the Cap Spartel tour?

The short Cap Spartel trip has a multilingual driver, not a licensed guide. The Asilah trip adds a local guide in Asilah, and the Easy Transfers half day has a guide throughout.

Can I be picked up at the port of Tangier?

The Asilah trip by Xauen Travel & Tours offers pickup from the port. On the other tours, ask the operator after booking.

What language are the Tangier tours in?

Check the language on the option before you book. On the Cap Spartel trip, Spanish-speaking reviewers were placed in an English-speaking group with a driver who spoke little Spanish.

A full day out of Tangier?

Chefchaouen is about two hours away, guided or on your own.
