Great trip

Cameron_N, Oct 2021

This is the second time I’ve used Marrakech snow and surf. Several years ago I did the same trip and we brought the surf board with us from Marrakech. This time, they organized surf lessons through Loving Surf in Essaouira. Both experiences were great. We managed to fit in some cultural things too: stopping at a low pressure Argan oil collective on the drive out and a two hour city tour after surfing. Other tours can book an entire van, this was just two of us. Essaouira also has a lot better shopping than Marrakech — lower (marked) prices and less haggling. Don’t buy souvenirs ahead of time in the souks. Highly recommend.

Best day ever! The tour was...

Best day ever! The tour was outstanding. An amazing guide took us to Essaouria and gave his best effort to really make us surfing plus showed us amazing views in the city as well. All equipment included and everything perfectly planned. We would definitely book the same trip again and again.

The Surf Trip to Essaouira was one...

Melanie_M, Jan 2017

The Surf Trip to Essaouira was one of the highlights to my trip to Morocco. Karim, our guide, was pleasant, flexible, and a lovely personality. While I felt that we had a nice varied day of sightseeing and surfing, Karim was flexible in terms of plans. When he needed to switch our tour day he gave maximum options. As a first time surfer, I appreciated Karim's patience and clear instructions. I was worried that I wouldn't like surfing, but I am now thinking of ways to incorporate surfing into all of my trips. Overall, I would book Karim's two day trip next time, and I will recommend this tour to all friends who travel to Morocco. Our surf day was an unbelievable memory.
