Usually around 3 to 3.5 hours each way, so this should be treated as a real full-day outing rather than a casual half-day excursion.

Is it better to take the bus or book a Marrakech day trip from Agadir?
If you only care about minimizing cost, the bus may look cheaper. If you care about hotel pickup, a fixed schedule, guided stops, and avoiding extra logistics, this guided day trip from Agadir is usually the better-value choice.
