Day 1 — To the ocean

You land in Agadir/Marrakech or Essaouira — big, well-known cities. But for us, it’s just the starting point. Our rides stay away from the obvious places, so instead of stopping in the city, we head further — towards a small village by the Atlantic, Sidi Kaouki.

The drive takes about 3 hours (from Essaouira – 30 minutes). Along the way, things open up — fewer hotels, more space, argan trees, small villages, and the ocean appearing now and then on the horizon.

At the house, we settle in. Dinner together, time to talk, make first plans, and ease into the place. No rush. The ride starts tomorrow — today, it’s enough to just be here.

Day 2 — Ocean and first gallops

No rush. The ride starts tomorrow — today, it’s enough to just be here. You get a board, full equipment, and spend about an hour in the water with an instructor — no pressure, just getting a feel for the waves. For some, it might be the start of something new.

In the afternoon, we switch from board to saddle. A relaxed sunset ride — easy pace, family-friendly rhythm. The ocean nearby, soft light, and your first real contact with the horses outside the arena.


Day 3 — On the move, along the coast

We get on the horses and pack only what we need — we’re heading out for two days.

The goal is a camp by the Atlantic. We ride along stretches of beach and through argan groves. The terrain changes, the pace stays steady, with space for a few good gallops.

The ocean stays with us — sometimes right next to us, sometimes just on the horizon. Space, distance, and the feeling of actually being on the move.

In the evening, we light a fire. Dinner under the stars, drums, talking, laughter. And when it’s time to sleep — the sound of the ocean is right there, next to the tents.

Day 4 — Back, but a different way

We return, but take a different route. More cliffs, more views from above, but still plenty of beach. The landscape keeps shifting — one moment high above the ocean, the next back down on the sand.

Lunch on the beach. No rush. Horses resting nearby, waves in front of you.

A full day in the saddle. Easy rhythm, time together, enjoying the ride itself.

By evening, we’re back at the house. Dinner, a hot shower, and proper rest after two days out.


Day 5 — Heading north

Another day on horseback, this time heading north towards Essaouira. The landscape becomes more dune-like, almost desert in places. Cliffs, steeper sections, and wide views.

Lunch in a cave by the ocean — natural shade, waves hitting the rocks below.

Back home for dinner. A quiet evening, no packing, no rush — tomorrow we go out again.

Day 6 — Bareback

A slower day. We ride bareback to the beach. Swim with the horses, take photos — a good moment if you want something a bit more styled.

Calm, light, a lot of laughter. If you feel like it — a bareback gallop along the beach.

Lunch back at the house. In the afternoon, you can go to a local hammam. Or skip it and head out for a camel ride or quads along the beach.

Evening as always — slow, by the pool, watching the sunset.


Day 7 — In Essaouira

We spend the day in Essaouira — a port town with a completely different rhythm.

It’s where films like Game of Thrones and Othello were shot. The fortress walls, with waves constantly breaking against them, are the most striking part.

We visit the port — raw, real, and busy. In the morning, you see what’s been caught that day. Right next to it, the fish market, where you can eat fresh seafood on the spot. Simple and good.

Then time in the medina — small streets, stalls with ceramics, rugs, oils, spices.

Essaouira is smaller and calmer than Marrakech. Easier to slow down, to walk without a plan.

A city day, before going back to quiet and space.

Day 8 — Return

After breakfast, we take you back to the airport.
