What to Expect at Crocoparc Agadir
Hotel Pickup & Arrival at Crocoparc
If you book our transfer service (€30 package), we'll collect you from your Agadir hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for the scenic 20-minute drive north to Drarga. Alternatively, arrive independently (€15 entry-only option). The park opens daily at 10:00 AM, and we recommend arriving early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and see crocodiles at their most active.
Main Crocodile Viewing Areas
Begin your visit at the main crocodile basins where over 300 Nile crocodiles live in beautifully landscaped natural habitats. Walk along elevated wooden platforms and bridges that provide safe, spectacular views of these prehistoric creatures. Watch crocodiles sunbathing on rocks, swimming in crystal-clear pools, and interacting with each other. Some of the largest specimens reach over 3 meters in length! Multiple viewing platforms allow you to observe from different angles - perfect for photography.
Baby Crocodile Nursery - Kids' Favorite!
Visit the fascinating laboratory nursery where baby crocodiles are hatched and raised. This is where kids (and adults!) get really excited - seeing dozens of tiny crocodiles is absolutely adorable and completely different from the massive adults! The nursery features informative displays explaining crocodile breeding, incubation, and early development. Educational panels teach about crocodile biology, behavior, and conservation efforts. This area provides incredible photo opportunities of baby crocs!
Botanical Gardens & Exotic Plants
Stroll through the stunning botanical gardens featuring hundreds of exotic plant species from around the world.

Cactus Garden with Giant Tortoises & Iguanas
Explore the newly expanded Cactus Garden featuring impressive cacti and succulent collections. This unique themed garden is home to giant tortoises that roam freely - kids love watching them! Lucky visitors may spot green iguanas basking in the sun (they're shy, so quiet observation works best!). Don't miss the suspended rope bridge that offers panoramic views over this special garden section.

We booked the €30 transfer package which was convenient - saves hassle of finding taxis. Kids (ages 4 and 7) enjoyed it for about 2 hours. Worth visiting but manage expectations - it's not huge. Still, a fun Agadir family activity."
