Overview

Our Chefchaouen day trip from Tarifa takes you from Spain to the famous blue city of the Rif in a single day, privately. You take the first ferry from Tarifa, your driver meets you at Tangier Ville port and drives you to Chefchaouen, where a local guide shows you the medina.

BBK Tours is a licensed tourist-transport company based in Morocco: we run the whole Moroccan part. The road transfer in Spain to Tarifa port is arranged on request with a partner operator, and the Tarifa – Tangier ferry ticket is booked in your name by us, or you can buy it yourself.

A full day, honestly timed

Chefchaouen is about 110 km from Tangier, close to 2 hours through the Rif mountains. With the one-hour ferry, allow about 11 hours from Tarifa for 3 to 3.5 hours in town: time to wander the blue lanes, see Outa el Hammam square and the Kasbah and have lunch. Take the first morning ferry to make the most of the day.

What about staying a night?

To enjoy Chefchaouen quietly in the evening and early morning, we offer the same trip over two days, with a night there and, the next day, a stop in Tetouan or a walk to the Akchour waterfalls. From Tangier itself, see our Chefchaouen day trip from Tangier.

Good to know before your Chefchaouen day trip from Tarifa

A passport is required to enter Morocco. Spain is one hour ahead in winter and two hours in summer: times are Moroccan time, so double-check the last return ferry. More in our Tarifa to Tangier ferry guide and on our day trips to Morocco from Spain page.
