Itinerary - Morocco Surf: Spice, Sunshine and Waves

Touch down in Agadir and transfer to your surf lodge. Sip fresh mint tea on the terrace as you meet fellow travelers. In the evening, gather for a family-style Moroccan feast with tagines, couscous, and local salads—your first taste of Atlantic-coast hospitality.

After a hearty Moroccan breakfast, grab your board and paddle out with a local surf instructor. Focus on pop-ups, wave selection, and safety in gentle rolling waves—perfect for beginners and intermediates alike.

Post-lunch, hone your skills in Taghazout’s reef breaks, or wander the whitewashed lanes hunting for freshly baked msemen and seaside cafés. Wind down with a sunset surf-run ritual featuring mint-and-honey tea.

Swap your board for hiking boots and explore the lush gorges of Paradise Valley. Wade through natural rock-pool oases, dip under hidden waterfalls, and picnic on sun-warmed boulders before returning for dinner.

Back at Taghazout, catch the afternoon swell with your coach. Practice duck-dives and bottom turns on long, peeling waves before sharing dinner stories under the stars.

Journey north to the wind-swept medina of Essaouira. Wander blue-and-white alleys, haggle for spices and argan oil in the souks, and stroll the castled ramparts overlooking sweeping Atlantic beaches.

For surfers who stay, enjoy two free surf slots, focusing on take-offs and board control. In the late afternoon, join a yoga stretch session on the sand to build core strength and flexibility.

Dive deeper into technique with video feedback: refine your trims, cutbacks, and wave-reading—all on Taghazout’s famed breaks.

In the evening, in a cozy kitchen, learn to craft classic tagine and harira soup. Shop for ingredients in the local market, then break bread over your own flavorful creations, sharing recipes and laughter with your group.

Catch dawn waves one more time, then refuel on fresh fish tajine and salads prepared by your lodge hosts.

After lunch, head into Agadir’s vibrant souks with a local guide. Sample spice blends, taste date-filled pastries, and learn the art of bargaining—a true immersion in Moroccan daily life.

Choose between a final surf session at Panorama Beach or a calm paddleboard tour along the bay. Capture your sunrise silhouette against rolling waves.

Celebrate your week with a sunset dinner under lantern light. Enjoy harissa-spiced tagines, live Gnawa music, and toasts of Moroccan mint tea—a fitting send-off for your Surf & Savor adventure.

Savor a final fresh fruit platter, khobz bread, and honey-drizzled msemen. Your coordinator will assist with airport transfers and any last-minute henna shopping. Depart with salt-kissed memories of Morocco’s waves, flavors, and hospitality.

Note: Your Travel Coordinator can help you arrange the transfer to Agadir airport (at a cost).
