Essaouira

Adventure Life organized an exceptional trip to Morocco for my college roommate and I. We enjoyed a seven‑day journey that gave us a true taste of the country—from the streets of Marrakech to hiking in the Atlas Mountains and relaxing in the coastal charm of Essaouira. We were met the next day by our Marrakech city guide who led us through Madrassa Ben Youssef, Bahia Palace, the medina, and the souks. On Day 3, our private driver drove us into the Atlas foothills for a hike to a waterfall feeding the Siti Fatma River. From there, we continued to Imlil for a full day of mountain trekking the next day. Our young mountain guide was encouraging to two mid‑60‑year‑olds. He cheered us on during the five‑hour ascent to the snow line and the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. After a 2-hour descent, we enjoyed a late lunch with a Berber family. The waterfalls and rushing streams were breathtaking. The long drive to Essaouira flew by thanks to his camaraderie, a quirky roadside restaurant with a mini‑zoo, and a stop at an argan oil co‑op to buy gifts for the wives who “let” us take this trip. The Moroccan Immersion guide led us through the medina, and the sunset from the fortress was unforgettable, and our hotel—Riad Mimouna—was perfectly located. The next morning brought camel rides on the beach.

Kassandra listened to our needs and crafted an itinerary that met all of them. She was friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Sandra was efficient, friendly, quick and listened to what we were hoping to get out of our trip! We loved working with her.

This is my third trip with Adverture Life. They make it easy -- and I now get a returning customer discount!

Kassandra prepared an organized agenda that was well designed based on our interests and feedback. She spent ample time discussing the agenda and answering any questions.
