Morocco · 5 Days / 4 Nights · From $506 AUD
Morocco in five action-packed days — from the electric chaos of Marrakech's Djemaa el-Fna to the rolling Atlantic swells of Taghazout and the wind-swept ramparts of Essaouira. Catch your first wave at a surf camp, stretch out with a morning yoga session on the beach, visit a female-led argan oil cooperative, and wander Essaouira's blue-and-white medina with a local guide. A perfect short escape packed with culture, surf, street food and coastal charm.
Arrive in Marrakech and check in at your hotel in the Gueliz district. Your tour leader hosts a welcome meeting at 4:00pm — attendance is required to collect your trip insurance details and meet your group. After the briefing, head straight to the iconic Djemaa el-Fna Square — one of the world's great public spaces — where food stalls, henna painters, acrobats and storytellers take over at dusk. Optional: rooftop bars above the square offer a sweeping view of the action below.
Meals: None included
Accommodation: Hotel Amalou, Gueliz — en suite rooms, pool, Wi-Fi
After breakfast, board your private vehicle and head south-west along the coast (~4 hours) to the legendary surf fishing village of Taghazout. This bohemian Atlantic town built its reputation on world-class surf breaks and laid-back beach culture. Check in to the surf camp and spend the afternoon exploring the beach, jumping in the ocean or simply soaking up the incredible scenery.
Meals: Breakfast included
Accommodation: Surf camp — multi-share dorms with shared facilities
The full Morocco surf experience today. Start with an early morning yoga class (1 hour, included) as the sun rises over the Atlantic — a genuinely spectacular setting. Then head straight into your half-day surfing lesson (included), suitable for complete beginners or those looking to refine their technique. Your qualified surf instructors will have you riding waves by lunchtime. The afternoon is free to surf more, explore the village lanes, or simply relax on the beach.
Meals: Breakfast included
Accommodation: Surf camp
An early departure gives you the option to watch the sunrise before heading north along the coast (~4 hours). En route, stop at a female-led argan oil cooperative (included) — a rare chance to see how this liquid gold is produced and to support the women who run it. Arrive in Essaouira, the beautifully preserved Atlantic port city famous for its whitewashed ramparts, blue boats and distinctive winds. A guided walking tour of the medina (included) takes in the Jewish mellah, the port, the Skala sea bastion and the vibrant fish market. Round off the afternoon with a street food tasting (included) through the medina lanes.
Meals: Breakfast included
Accommodation: Hotel in Essaouira
After breakfast, board a shared bus back to Marrakech (~3 hours). The remainder of the day is free in the city — the perfect opportunity to explore the souks and medina, visit the Saadian Tombs or Bahia Palace, or try a hammam. Your trip ends in Marrakech. We recommend booking flights departing after 4:00pm to allow for possible delays. Optional activities available through your tour leader.
