Essaouira in 4 days
Four days for the wind and the waves, with time on land too: a surf lesson and a sunset tea ritual; a first kitesurf lesson and a camel ride by the Ksob river; a full day by quad to the Cap Sim dunes and Sidi Kaouki, with lunch; and a last day with a kayak ride around Mogador island and a horse ride on the beach at sunset.
Day by day
- Day 1Essaouira
A surf lesson, then tea on the beach at sunset
Lesson times follow the tide and the tea ritual follows the sunset: both are confirmed when you book. In between, the medina is a short walk from the main beach.

1 dayEssaouira in 1 day
A day by the sea in Essaouira, the wind city. Start with a surf lesson in the bay, where a long sandy bottom and easy waves suit beginners. The surf school is on the main beach, a short walk from the medina, so the middle of the day is yours for the old town. Late in the afternoon, ride to the beach south of the city by horse, camel or quad for a tea ritual by a wood fire as the sun goes down.
