KEY INFORMATION

DAY 1 – Arrival in Bouznika

Arrival day in Bouznika. We’ll take care of your transfer from the airport, whether you’re landing in Rabat (included) or Casablanca (available with a €40 supplement). In the evening, after settling into the surf house, meet the rest of the group and chill.

DAY 2 – Surf & Ice Bath Experience

We’ll wake up just in time to catch the best morning conditions for surfing. After a typical Moroccan breakfast, we’ll head to the ocean for our first surf lesson. In the afternoon, enjoy a free surf session followed by an ice bath experience: the perfect way to recover from travel fatigue. We’ll wrap up the day with a video analysis of your first surf session and some well-deserved rest.

DAY 3 – Yoga, Surf & Hammam

The day begins with the first yoga session of the week, followed by a hearty breakfast to recharge before your daily surf lesson. In the afternoon, relax at a traditional Moroccan hammam, and after dinner, join our evening video review, a daily ritual of this retreat.

DAY 4 – Surf, Surfskate & Surf Mentality Masterclass

On your third day of surfing, we’ll start capturing your progress with professional photos and videos, along with clips for analysis. In the afternoon, try out surfskate during a dedicated lesson, followed by our surf mentality masterclass.

DAY 5 – Yoga, Surf & Visit to Rabat

The second yoga session kicks off the day, followed by another surf lesson, again documented with photos and videos. In the afternoon, we’ll visit the nearby city of Rabat, exploring its vibrant historic center and local culture.

DAY 6 – Surf, Surf & More Surf

The week is coming to an end. Your surf training is paying off — and it’s the perfect day to get photographed by our team during the third photoshoot of the trip. The afternoon is free to jump back in the water, try one of the extra activities, or simply rest. As always, we’ll close the day with a video analysis session reviewing your progress.

DAY 7 – Yoga, Surf & Departure

Final morning at our surf house. One last yoga session, and for those with afternoon flights, a final surf lesson before heading to the airport. Time to say goodbye... and start dreaming about your next surf trip with Esploro Travel!

  • Plenty of sunshine, with occasional light rain
  • Consistent Atlantic swells bringing fun, rideable waves

It’s the perfect winter escape: warm enough to surf in a 3/2mm wetsuit, cool enough to enjoy yoga and hammam sessions without the summer crowds.

Travel & Safety

Q: Is Morocco safe for women travelers?
A: Yes, Morocco is generally safe, including for solo women travelers. As always, it’s wise to follow basic precautions and be respectful of local customs. In and around our surf house, the surf culture is laid-back and welcoming.

Q: Do I need a visa to travel to Morocco?
A: Most European, North American, and many other passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. Please double-check the requirements for your nationality before travel.

Q: Do I need any vaccinations?
A: No special vaccinations are required to enter Morocco. We recommend ensuring that routine vaccines (like tetanus and hepatitis A) are up to date. Consult your doctor if you’re unsure.

Q: Is tap water safe to drink?
A: We recommend drinking bottled or filtered water. Tap water is generally safe for brushing your teeth, but stick to bottled water for drinking and be cautious with ice in drinks.

Money & Practicalities

Q: What currency is used in Morocco?
A: The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). It’s a closed currency, so you’ll need to exchange money after arrival. Make sure to use any leftover cash before leaving the country.

Q: How do I exchange money?
A: We recommend exchanging currency at the airport upon arrival, where rates are generally favorable. ATMs are also available nearby. Most shops in the area accept cash only, so it's helpful to carry some with you. We’re happy to assist once you arrive at the surf house.

Q: Is there internet access?
A: Yes, the surf house offers Wi-Fi for guests. Keep in mind it may be slower than in large cities — a good excuse to disconnect.

Getting There

Q: How do I get to your surf house?
A: You can fly into Rabat or Casablanca. We’ll organize your transfer to the surf house: it’s included in the price if you arrive at Rabat. From Casablanca, there's a small supplement (€40 per vehicle, each way).

Q: Can I extend my stay or arrive earlier?
A: Absolutely. We’re happy to help you organize extra nights at or stays in Rabat or Casablanca before or after the retreat.

Surf, Yoga & Activities

Q: Do I need to be an experienced surfer?
A: Not at all! This retreat is open to all levels. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your technique, our coaching is adapted to your needs, with a focus on progress, not performance.

Q: What kind of surfboards and wetsuits are available?
A: A wide range of boards are available (soft tops, shortboards, mid-lengths). Wetsuits are also provided. However, if you have a favorite board or suit, feel free to bring your own.

Q: How many surf sessions are included?
A: One coached surf session per day is included, plus optional free surf time. You’ll also get a surfskate lesson, daily transport to spots, and video analysis sessions.

Q: What else is included?
A: The trip includes full-board accommodation, 3 yoga sessions, a surf mindset masterclass, an ice bath experience, a traditional hammam visit, a cultural visit to Rabat, and 3 days of photo/video content of your surf.

Optional Activities

Q: What’s not included in the package?
A: Optional activities such as horseback riding on the beach, surf foil lessons, muay thai, boat fishing, acupuncture, cooking and Darija (local dialect) classes, climbing, and surf fitness are available onsite and can be booked à la carte.
