Where to Go Hiking in Morocco?
The choice of hiking trails in Morocco is almost endless. A large part of the African Atlas Mountains is located in Morocco and attracts many hikers with its spectacular valleys, peaks and mountain villages. During your hikes in our Surf & Wander Camp, you’ll explore the stunning mountain landscapes around Taroudant – where the High Atlas meets the Anti-Atlas. This area offers perfect conditions for nature and mountain lovers, with breathtaking views, authentic villages, and a variety of landscapes to enjoy.
Hiking Level
You don’t need to be an experienced mountaineer for the tours we take you on, nor do you need to have completed any altitude training beforehand. However, you should have a basic level of fitness and enjoy longer hikes. Because, as we all know, the best views always come with a little bit of effort 😉 .
Where to Go Surfing in Morocco?
Morocco is a surf mecca. Since the 70s, Thagazout in particular has been a real magnet for surfers from all over the world. Our Riad is located a little outside the hustle and bustle of Thagazout and Agadir in the small town of Tamraght. Tamraght is about an away hour from Agadir. Up and down the coast you will find surf spot after surf spot with perfect waves for beginners, advanced and pros.
Our surf instructors know the beaches better than their own bedrooms and know exactly where and when you’ll get the best waves. Whether it’s your first time in the waves or you’re already hopelessly addicted to surfing, our surf instructors will make sure you have the best time at your Surf & Hike Camp.

“The surfing was really great. We were actually driven to a different spot every day and mostly had fantastic conditions. The surf instructors were very dedicated, taught us a lot and it was always a lot of fun, also because they are up for any little fun. The surfing couldn’t have been better.”

Surf & Hike Camp -Day by Day
To give you a better idea of what your trip between the Atlas Mountains and the Moroccan surf beaches will look like, we have created a detailed overview for you here:
Want to know what your surf days are going to look like? Have a look on our pages for beginners and intermediate surf lessons.
For a relaxed arrival, we will meet you at the airport in Agadir and take you to our cosy Riad in the small village of Tamraght. Here you can check into your room, drink your first Moroccan mint tea and enjoy the views from our roof terrace. In one direction, you look out over the sea and some of the surf spots that you will get to know in the coming week. In the other direction, you can see the silhouettes of the mountains in the hinterland. The perfect way to get in the mood for your surf and hike camp, right?
Depending on what time you arrive, we will already show you your surfing equipment and maybe catch some first waves.
Every night, our chefs will serve you fresh and tasty Moroccan dishes. There’s always different options you can choose from.
Because you need strength and energy for surfing, first thing in the morning we serve a hearty breakfast on our roof terrace. With your lunch package in your pocket, you’ll then head off to the surf spot. Our surf instructors choose the spot of every day according to the best conditions and waves. You don’t have to worry about your surfing equipment. Everything you need is right here on site.
We offer surf lessons for every surf level – no matter if you are a motivated beginner or an ambitious surf legend. The exact daily schedule of the individual courses can be found on the pages for the beginner surf camp, intermediate surf camp and surf guiding.
In the evening, you have the opportunity to relax your muscles with yoga.
After breakfast, you’ll head into the mountains surrounding Taroudant. At the meeting point of the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas, you’ll find a landscape full of contrasts – fertile valleys, dramatic rock formations, and small Berber villages. Your five-hour hike leads through a scenic gorge along a dry riverbed lined with palm and citrus trees. Along the way, you’ll discover ancient ruins and enjoy a shared lunch, experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the Berber people. An experienced local guide will take you off the beaten path and show you the authentic side of Morocco.
In the afternoon, you’ll arrive in Taroudant, where you’ll wander through the narrow streets of the old town and the lively souk. You’ll spend the night in a traditional riad, relaxing in this charming city often called the “little Marrakech.”
The next morning, another adventure awaits: your second hike takes you to a lush paradise valley near Taroudant. This five-hour trail offers beautiful views, natural pools, and impressive rock formations. After lunch together, you’ll return to the coast and enjoy a relaxed evening back at the camp.
Back in Tamraght, it’s back on the board and into the water. There are still a few surf spots around Taghazout and Agadir that are waiting to be discovered. Your surf instructor will give you helpful tips tailored to your ability and ensure that you can quickly improve your surfing skills.
After a week full of adventure, sun, sports and nature, it’s back home. We will take you to the airport for your individual journey home, or give you all the information you need for your onward journey.
