Whitewater in Morocco
Tandem Kayaking
Have you always wanted to give kayaking a try but never quite had the courage to do so? We have the perfect way for our qualified kayak instructors to take you down the Ahansel river without the stress. You'll just sit in the front and get the excitement of paddling an awesome Class 3 and 4 river, under the safe guidance of one of the world's best kayakers. Each night, you'll get to stop on the side of the river with all the rafting clients and tell them how exciting your day was! No previous paddling ability is required, however all participants must be under 90kg. This is also the perfect way to get your children involved in the sport. As you have a 1:1 ratio with the guide, the trip is more expensive than the rafting trip. Relax in the evenings at our Berber camps on the Ahansal River and look through all your pictures at the end of the trip. We'll finish the trip at Bin El Ouidane and relax in the hot tub and sauna before heading back to Marrakech.
Please note: the season runs from March to Mid-May only each year. 2019 bookings are now closed.

Day 1
We will depart Marrakech at around 8.30 after collecting you from your Riad or Hotel. You'll join people who are on the rafting trip on the gorgeous drive up to Cascades D'Ouzoud where we will have a great view of the falls at lunchtime whilst having a Moroccan tagine. After relaxing and getting a few photos, we'll board the van again to head into our base camp at Tiloguite where our Berber Camp is set up. Relax with some sundowner snacks and a drink from the cash bar and let the sound of the river lull you off to sleep.
Included: Lunch and dinner
Day 2
After a great nights sleep we'll deliver a hot drink to you in bed, as we have a relaxed wake up and breakfast. Your kayak guide will give you a full safety briefing about kayaking and what to do in case of a swim! With all our safety gear on, we head onto the river paddling ahead of the rafts. Its not long before we hit our first rapid and they come thick and fast on the first day, you'll be smiling from ear to ear as we run down amazing whitewater until we take a break for lunch at the side of the river. You'll have fresh salads and sandwiches as well as sweet biscuits and fruit, before we take off down the first rapid of the afternoon, indigestion! Before long we are at the biggest and best rapid on the section, Rock The Casbah, before we reach our Gorge Camp early afternoon. Relax in camp, grab a drink from the bar and enjoy your stunning location relaxing in one of our hammocks.
Included: All meals
Day 3
Another relaxing wake up this morning as the sun hits the beach, we'll have breakfast and perhaps some early morning yoga or stretching before we head off on the river. This morning, you'll get to paddle through stunning gorges in the heart of this gorgeous region. The Ahansel River is a stunning gem in Morocco and today you will see why. We paddle out onto the lake of Bin El Ouidane where our boat meets us and tows us across the lake. On the other side of lake, you'll receive a welcome cocktail and get to relax and unwind in the sauna and jacuzzi, take a shower and enjoy lunch overlooking this gorgeous lake. Then we head back to Marrakech, your memories etched into your mind. But we also give you photos too!
Included: Breakfast, lunch and photos
