A Tangier to Chefchaouen transfer is the essential private link in northern Morocco: leave Tangier in the morning, cross the Rif in a licensed tourist vehicle, and spend the day in the blue medina before returning at night — or stay overnight. With Northy you get a dedicated chauffeur, a clear schedule and a fixed price — no bus, no roadside bargaining.
Allow about 2 h – 2 h 15 each way (~110–120 km). Choose a one-way drop-off or a same-day return with free time in the medina. For nature the next day, see our Akchour Day Trip. Also book via Tangier tours or a Chefchaouen chauffeur.
In one sentence
Tangier–Chefchaouen transfer = licensed tourist vehicle + private Northy chauffeur from hotel, airport or port — one-way or full-day return.

- Licensed tourist vehicle — not an improvised personal car.
- Flexible timing for hotel, ferry or flight.
- Total price confirmed before departure.
- One-way, same-day return, or multi-day with Akchour.

Pick what fits your stay:
- One-way Tangier → Chefchaouen (hotel / medina). Ideal if you overnight in the blue city.
- Same-day return Early start, 4–5 h on site, evening return to Tangier — private “day trip” transfer.
- From airport / port Arrive TNG or by ferry then drive to Chefchaouen — coordinate with our Tangier airport transfer.
- 1 night + Akchour Medina day 1, waterfalls day 2 — see Akchour Day Trip.
