A perfect day out. The oysters were incredibly fresh, literally taken out of the water in front of us. The lagoon is beautiful and calm.

We loved the boat trip. We saw pink flamingos! The driver was very safe and the car was clean. Highly recommend Ostrea II for lunch.

Oualidia is a hidden paradise. Much more relaxed than Marrakech. The sunset over the lagoon was spectacular.

Excellent service from Lariviere Tours. We customized the trip to stay a bit later for sunset. The seafood platter was massive!
