Adventure can be anything outside of the day-to-day. It doesn't have to mean white-water or bungy, but can be about the destination, the activity, the company you're in, the wildlife you see, the cultures you visit. Relaxed or full-on is your choice.

Jebel Toubkal, Morocco’s 4,167m-tall peak, has captivated mountaineers for centuries.

Mt Toubkal Climb
Mt Toubkal, known locally as Jebel Toubkal, stands 4167m above sea level and commands superb views of the High Atlas Mountains. This walking holiday in Morocco passes through impressive landscapes on well-defined paths and is, surprisingly, not too strenuous. As we climb higher, the paths do become steeper and rugged in places, but the gain in altitude awards dramatic views of Marrakech, the Anti-Atlas mountains and row after row of sharp granite peaks. This rewarding Mt Toubkal trekking trip passes through remote villages and terraced fields offering us an insight to the life of the hardy and friendly Berber people. We finish the week with some free time in the colourful Imperial City of Marrakech.
Atlas Panorama
This part of romantic Morocco is the ideal place for trekking the Atlas Mountains. Hidden deep in the High Atlas Mountains are the crumbling remains of the great fortress-palace of Telouet, which we visit before reaching the picturesque Tijhza Valley. After a truly stunning drive over the impressive Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2260m), we arrive at the lush and remote village of Tijhza. Staying in a simple but pleasant gite, we enjoy optional walks each day from the front door. The pace is relaxed, allowing us to enjoy this Morocco walking holiday, and we learn a little about the way of life of these hardy and friendly Berber people. Finally, there's time in Marrakech to explore the busy souks or relax in the tranquil Majorelle Gardens - the perfect end to any North African experience.
Moroccan Desert Adventure
Marrakech—whisper it and instantly your mind goes to a place of seduction and spices. Experience it for yourself. This intense 1-week journey through Morocco reveals the secrets of Marrakech and Casablanca and is crammed with all the activities and energy you crave. In the company of other young travellers, dance beside a campfire in the Sahara, go rock climbing in Todra and hang with the hippies in Essaouira. Explore the kasbahs, coast and desert and lose the herd on a trip you’ll never forget.
Undiscovered Atlas
This is a fantastic short winter trek in southern Morocco; untouched, dramatic and rarely visited by Europeans. The Anti-Atlas is in fact a volcanic mountain chain extending southwest from the High Atlas. Fortified kasbahs perch above beautiful terraced valleys and wide oases and the distant jagged peaks fade into the desert haze. On trek, there is plenty of contact with the local villagers, while the ascent of Jebel Aklim (2531m) gives us wonderful views of the snow-covered High Atlas to the north, and the desert range of Jebel Bani to the south. Agriculture is the way of life in this area, which we see every day walking through small, isolated, self-sufficient villages. The trek ends in Taroudant, one of Morocco's five imperial cities, with time to explore the souks and the ancient perimeter walls.
