Option 1: The Express Highway Bus (Recommended)

Morocco has two premium state-regulated coach companies: CTM and Supratours (the passenger bus arm of the national railway ONCF). Both operate modern, air-conditioned coaches that travel on the smooth A3 toll highway linking Marrakech to Agadir through the scenic High Atlas Mountains.

You can book tickets online up to 30 days in advance on their official websites:

  • CTM.ma β€” Departs from the CTM Bus Station (Gare RoutiΓ¨re CTM) near Marrakech railway station.
  • Supratours.ma β€” Departs from right outside Marrakech Central Train Station (Gare de Marrakech).

Buses depart almost every hour from 06:00 to 20:00. Tickets cost approximately 110–140 MAD (€10–13), plus 5–10 MAD for large surfboards or checked luggage.

2. Arriving at Agadir Bus Station & Camp Pickup

The bus will arrive at the main Agadir bus terminal. If you have booked a full 8D/7N surf package with Skate Surf Camp Morocco, our driver will meet you directly at the Agadir bus station at no extra charge!

Simply message your bus arrival time and company to our reservations team on WhatsApp, and our driver will be waiting for you.

Option 2: Direct Private Transfer from Marrakech

If you are traveling with a group of friends, bringing multiple longboards, or arriving late at night when buses have finished, a direct private transfer is the fastest door-to-door option.

Our camp driver will meet you right outside the terminal at Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) and drive you straight to our riad in Tamraght in approximately 3 hours. Contact our team in advance to arrange a private transfer.
