Climb, Surf and Yoga in Morocco

You do not need any previous experience of rock climbing, surfing or practising yoga. All activities will be tailored to your experience so while absolute beginners are very welcome, so are those who have more experience. Todra Gorge offers a multitude of quality single and multi-pitch sports climbs for all grades so there really is something for everyone. You should have a reasonable level of fitness for the hiking day but this can be taken at your own pace and if you'd rather sit it out, that's totally fine too.

In terms of surfing, this trip is most suitable for beginner surfers who want to learn some basic surf skills and work on their technique. Your instructor will adjust every lesson to suit your skill level. The only requirement is that you can swim and tread water.

All activities are also totally optional – so if you decide that yoga isn't for you or you would like to only climb or surf for a little bit each day, this is of course absolutely fine, you are on holiday after all!

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Tips are not included in the trip cost. These are entirely at your discretion and the amount should be reflective of your perception of service and quality - a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.

Drinkable water is collected from the gorge while you are out and about – and water bottles can be filled up at each accommodation, so please bring reusable bottles as they will be well used.

Todra Gorge is known for long dry months usually from February to November. In February to March, daytime temperatures sit around 15-20°C and drop to below 10°C at night. April and May will be a bit warmer, usually around 25°C in the day but again, cooler at night. The months of June-August are too hot to run the trip so it resumes again in September when daytime temperatures can still hit 30°C. It starts to cool a little in October and November, then becomes too cold for climbing in December and January. Moroccan heat is dry as so much of the landscape is desert – rainfall is rare in the months the trips runs, but isn't unheard of. If you do experience rain it is likely to be short and sharp.

The weather in Taghazout aligns with the arid conditions of the region, with mild temperatures and pleasant conditions. From February to November, you can expect dry weather, with daytime temperatures ranging from 15-30°C. The coastal influence moderates the climate, providing a more comfortable atmosphere compared to the inland Todra Gorge. Rainfall is infrequent during the months when trips are conducted, and if rain does occur, it tends to be brief and invigorating, offering a welcomed respite from the typical dry heat of the Moroccan landscape.

We recommend checking out the country specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.

You will need to bring your own climbing shoes. If you don't have already, these can be bought for approximately £30 from Decathlon or similar. You should buy those that fit comfortably in the shop – don't follow advice for them to be extra tight or a smaller shoe size than you would normally wear – your feet will swell with the heat in Morocco anyway, so finding a pair that fit like normal shoes and no tighter is important.

Ramadan will take place from 10th March to 8th April 2024. The national holiday of Eid ul-Fitr will follow for 2-3 days. Ramadan is an Islamic festival where the religious do not eat or drink during daylight hours. While this is a really interesting time to travel, especially to witness celebrations where the fast is broken in the evenings, you can expect some business hours will be shortened, alcohol is not permitted during daylight hours and some restaurants will be closed during this festival period. Activities for local people tend to be limited during the day and the nights are very active in cities with lots of different foods being sold and consumed. Ramadan will not affect the inclusions on your trip, although you should be aware that dinners will be served after locals break their fast in the evenings.
