MELLOW MOROCCO: 9 nights/10 days

Our Whitewater Rafting trips north east of Marrakech are only available early March, April or possibly early May depending on local water conditions.

The itinerary is run by a highly professional specialist company with experienced instructors.

Here in magical Morocco we have the perfect destination for a very relaxed, week long kayaking holiday. Set in the magnificent Middle Atlas mountain range the river Ahansal gushes fresh from the rocks and runs deep through a dramatic river gorge, you'll feel like you are starring in a movie. This remote river journey travels through some stunning scenery and is the perfect antidote to those winter blues. A chance to dust off the cobwebs from your kayak and paddle clear warm waters, beneath blue skies, in a truly intoxicating location. Of course you can also try out one of our up to date playboats which we will be more than happy to provide for you. And after your river adventure we then take you out to the coast to enjoy the surf and relax on a gorgeous stretch of beach near Essaouira. In addition a chance to explore the mystical city of Marrakech, get lost in the souqs and marvel at the snake charmers. Morocco will delight you in so many ways.
