Quad Weekend with a Night in a Berber Camp - Essaouira
About this experience
Two days on quads from Friday morning to Sunday morning, at an easy pace that respects the landscape: breathtaking viewpoints and wild beaches where you are the only ones. Day one runs from the Ksob river and the Sultan's palace along the 27 km beach to the dunes of Cap Sim and the Cave viewpoint, with a private lunch on the beach below Ouessen, then through the surf village of Sidi Kaouki to a clifftop bivouac above the sea, with a campfire, drums and a Moroccan dinner under the stars. Day two heads south to the small waterfalls of Sidi Mbarek and through the argan forest along the cliffs to the tiny beach of Iftane for a picnic, before riding back to the ranch for tea on the terrace. The weekend ends with a private party at the ranch: Gnawa musicians, fire-eaters and an organic dinner, then a night in a riad near the ranch. The cook adapts every meal to your tastes.

Important Information
The bivouac night needs a booking and passport details at least two weeks ahead, as required by the Essaouira authorities. A child aged 5 to 8 can ride with an adult (see the booking form). A safety briefing and a short driving test come first. Wear long trousers, closed shoes and a light windproof jacket, and keep a small backpack for the day with sunscreen, sunglasses and a scarf. Swim with care: the ocean currents are strong. Tell us about food allergies when you book.

No-shows without notice are not refunded. If the ranch has to cancel, for example because the weather is unsafe, you choose between a full refund and a new date at no extra cost.
