Lunch isn't included in the fixed price, but your driver can recommend and take you to a well-regarded seafood restaurant near the port.

Can I stay overnight in Essaouira instead of returning the same day?

Yes — just let us know when booking and we'll adjust it to a one-way private transfer instead of a round-trip day tour.
