Itinerary

Day 1: Meet your guide and yoga session

Meet your guide at Agadir airport at anytime. You'll then head over to the west coast, to the town of Tamraght in Taghazout Bay. You'll settle into your accommodation, a traditional Moroccan Riad with pool, then dive straight into your first yoga session. Afterwards, you'll enjoy some dinner in the tranquil courtyard under swaying palm trees.

You'll wake nice and early with a morning yoga session, before heading to the beach for your first surf. Beginners who have never or rarely surfed before will have lessons, and today is all about getting used to the movement of the board and building up confidence in the water.

After lunch and some more surfing, you'll return back to the Riad for a dip in the pool. In the evening, stretch out your muscles with another yoga session and a guided meditation, as the sun begins to set - it's a great way to reduce any stress and promote positive emotions.

Enjoy a home-cooked Moroccan dinner next to the pool in the courtyard of your Riad.

Now that you've got the swing of things, your guide will help you to progress your skills on the waves. Learn how to paddle, pop up, turn and read the waves so you can start to catch more waves for longer.

Before heading out to one of Taghazout's many restaurants, you'll have an opportunity to enjoy a sunset yoga session.

An excellent few days in Taghazout bay. The Riad was a great base. Courtney and the staff are very welcoming, the traditional Moroccan dinners were delicious and the rooms were comfortable. The roof terrace was ideal for yoga and it was good to start each day with yoga and to have a relaxing yoga after surfing. I was new to surfing but soon felt more confident to have a go with Haitam’s teaching. A great mix of activities with opportunities to visit a spa, souk and eat out.

Wow! Just got back from this trip and it was superb. I travelled with a friend and We loved it. The riad, the accommodation and the homemade Moroccan food was perfect. (The cats and dogs around the place were a great addition too) Courtney was very friendly and looked after us very well. Haitam our surf instructor was great, enthusiastic, supportive and took care of us and our needs very well. We ate out a few times too and the places chosen were great too. I enjoyed the morning yoga sessions more than I thought I would too…it was lovely to be doing that up on the roof terrace. I am someone who struggled with some of the stretches as I’m not too flexible but this was ok and I was very much a beginner to surfing and this was ok too…I may not have made it up to standing on the surf board but I did make progress each day and I very much enjoyed the fun and experience.

A fantastic trip! Brilliant from the start when I was welcomed by Courtney the owner of Mint Surf. The Riad is beautiful, comfortable and the food is excellent but the thing that really made it special for me was the Mint surf team. Haitam and Emry created a positive team atmosphere, delivered excellent surf coaching and took really good care of everyone. We had fun, laughter and really challenged ourselves in the water. The yoga was superb both Evo and Georgia created new experiences for me from Yin Yoga to mediation, which I loved. I really recommend this trip.
