ITINERARY

Day 1
Welcome to our Morocco surf vacation! Prepare yourself for one of the most fascinating, colorful and culture-rich countries on the planet. Also prepare for some of the world’s best surfing! We will pick you up at Agadir airport and drive you to our base, a stylish guest house overlooking one of the world’s top 10 breaks! If your flight arrives before noon, you’ll have time to catch waves on your first day. If not, you should at least have time to witness an incredible sunset. Tonight, you’ll get your first taste of delicious Moroccan cuisine with a gourmet meal cooked by our local chef.

Day 2
Wake up to a breathtaking view, perfect waves, and the sights and sounds of a traditional Berber village. Depending on the swell, guests will receive their first day of coaching at one of the many local beach breaks that offer consistent waves. Thanks to its long, smooth, and crowd-free breaks, Morocco is an ideal place to learn to surf. After your first day in the waves we’ll head back to our surf house for a beer on the veranda, a delicious dinner, some video coaching, and well-earned rest.

Day 3
Conditions permitting, we'll jump into the vans on day three of our Morocco surf vacation to head north to a hidden spot that is rarely surfed. Although only 45-minutes long, this drive provides a stunning variety of landscapes: from rocky, cactus-filled desert land, to lush, traditional farmland, and back to ocean cliffs and long, deserted beaches. The surf beach is home to a long, smooth beach break – perfect for beginner/intermediates, and a quality point break for more advanced surfers. After a morning of surfing, lunch will be served on the beach and then we'll hit the water again for an afternoon surf session. After dinner back at the house, our instructors will lead a video coaching session and a workshop introducing you to reading tides, currents and swells, and surf etiquette.

Day 4
From our surf house north of Agadir, the Moroccan coastline extends south, almost unexplored, for nearly 1000 km (620 miles) to the border area of the Occidental Sahara. If surf conditions permit, we will head into this desert region to explore some of these untouched beaches and pristine breaks. You’ll hardly believe your eyes when you see kilometers of perfect surf without another person in sight! Delicious food, deserted beaches, great surfing, and new friends – does it get any better than this?

Day 5
Today, you will have plenty of time to catch more waves and work with your surf coach on your technique. At the end of the day, we will jump in our vans and drive back to our surf house where you can unwind from the day's journey. If you still have the energy, you can wander down to the nearby fishing village to check out the traditional cafes and restaurants. Otherwise, our chef will be on hand to provide another delicious dinner. Time permitting, after dinner the coaches will fit in another session of video coaching.

Day 6
Day six of our Morocco surf vacation is dedicated to more surfing at the myriad breaks close to our surf house. Or, if you want to take a day off from surfing to experience more of Morocco’s incredible culture and landscape, we have a number of optional excursions planned. Take a trip to nearby Paradise Valley, a lush gorge full of palm plantations, or to Essaouira, a beautiful medieval ocean town with bustling Moroccan markets, or head into the Atlas Mountains and visit the market town of Taroudannt, famous for its bustling souk (market), tanneries and beautiful Kasbah (castle). Please note: group consensus is required for these activities to go ahead.

Day 7
Today is the last full day of surfing, so you'll practice everything you’ve learned during the week to make the most of your last waves. If you were a beginner at the start of the week, by now you are almost certainly enjoying the thrill of catching and riding waves. If you were began as an intermediate or advanced surfer, you’ll have had the chance to fine-tune your technique and enjoy an excellent week of quality, ‘locals-only’ breaks. Tonight, we’ll end with a farewell dinner and a final look at the footage we captured during the week.

Day 8
Our Morocco surf vacation ends. We’ll drive you to the airport at Agadir for your journey home.

Please note: This itinerary is designed to give you an idea of what to expect during our trip but is not set in stone. What we actually do on a given day is flexible and can be tailored to swell conditions and the interests of the group.
