Itinerary

1

Day 1: Marrakech

Arrive at any time.

Get ready to channel all of the buzz and excitement of arriving in a new place by heading out on the town with your CEO and crew. Take the fun to new heights as you grab drinks and kick back at a rooftop bar. Don't get too distracted by the incredible views of Marrakech, though, that you forget to get to know your new travel companions and prepare for the thrilling journey ahead.

2

Day 2: Marrakech/Taghazout

This afternoon we make our way through the High Atlas Mountains and visit the market town of Taroudant. Concealed within striking red walls, Taroudant is often called “Little Marrakech.” Wander through the old town at leisure and browse its lively markets before continuing on to the fishing village of Taghazout.
Opt to get up early and catch the sunrise over Marrakech by pre-booking the Hot Air Balloon excursion.

3

Day 3: Taghazout

Wake to the soft tones of waves crashing along the shoreline, then suit up for a surf lesson. Hit the waves for a free afternoon of surfing or swimming. Prefer land surfing? Opt to go hiking or do yoga. After a day of embracing your wild side, what could be more fitting than gathering around a bonfire on the beach as the sun kisses the horizon goodnight?

4

Day 4: Taghazout/Essaouira

Take coastal living northward to colourful, sun-drenched Essaouira. After an orientation walk around the city, enjoy free time to get to know the ramparts and rocky beaches of Essaouira further. No rest for the weary? Not true here — opt to pre-book the Traditional Hammam Experience and enjoy a spa experience that is ritual for the many of the locals.

5

Day 5: Essaouira/Marrakech

Hit the road one final time and return to Marrakech. Even though your trip ends on arrival, make sure you take the time to take plenty of photos with newfound friends to commemorate the memories made. (Morocco scrapbook, anyone?)

So much fun, and easy. Especially good in countries where mobile data won't work, without a tour guide I would',ve had no clue what to do.

Every part of our days was so well structured, I felt safe everywhere I went and loved Morocco. Most importantly Abdul our guide was amazing he told us everything and more, always had time for us even with dumb little questions, spoke amazing English and was one of the nicest people. He is the reason I'd recommend G Adventures again.

I have heard great things about other trips, however, I did not feel like this trip was properly organized and would not recommend anyone to take this 5 day trip.

Erin C.   -  Traveled, July 2023

There was entirely too much driving to get to destinations that were not that far away. didn't need to take the detours that we did or go to 2 grocery stores. No clarity on when we will eat next or be able to pee. Very hard to hydrate and feel good in the heat with such little clarity on travel time and detours

Maria M.   -  Traveled, September 2023

It would have been a 10 but for 2 of the 4 nights I had to sleep in a shared room in a hostel when I had paid for a private room. This was extra Inconvenient and stressful because it was 45-50 degrees, the showers here were not private so when coming out anyone can see you who is walking up the stairs also.

The people I met on my tour were all incredibly welcoming and bubbly, and my trip would not have been the same without them. Our CEO, Abdul, also made my experience, especially as a first time traveler to the country, he explained the history, cultural significance, and current day political environment which I found enriched my overall experience.

For a short tour, the amount of driving time was a lot. However, all the stops and planned activities were lovely.
