Travel Map

Day 1 Marrakech

Salaam Aleikum! Welcome to Morocco. There are no activites planned for today until the Welcome Meeting at 5pm. If you have the time (and the energy) why not explore the Medina and the city's seemingly endless mosaic of souqs before you have to attend. Or maybe take a ...

Day 2 Marrakech

After breakfast head out on a 3-hour bike ride across this colourful and captivating city. Cycle through the King's Palace and pedal past the myriad stalls of the Medina. Your nose is sure to announce your proximity to Djeema el-Fna, the famous public square filled wi...

Day 3 Atlas Mountains

Take a scenic, 1.5-hour drive to the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, which form part of the Berber territories of the Ourika Valley. The red and orange earth tones of the mountains have been mimicked on the adobe buildings, giving the impression that the entire city rise...

Day 4 High Atlas Mountains

Rise and shine for a half-day of hiking through the glorious High Atlas Mountains, a trek that may reach heights of 2684 metres above sea level. There will be three trail options available, each revealing sweeping views of the terraces and ramshackle township of Imlil...

Day 5 Essouaira

Make tracks for the Atlantic Coast, driving four hours to the old fishing town of Essaouira, where sandstone walkways contrast with whitewashed houses and bright blue sky. Visit the intriguing Jewish Quarter, where the crumbling stone buildings are coloured blue. Then...

Day 6 Marrakech

Today make the two-hour journey back to Marrakech. Upon arrival, visit a traditional hammam and enjoy some local luxury. Experience a specialty soak and a massage before some free time later in the day. You can relax by the hotel pool or perhaps visit the many souks that Marrakech is famous for and practise haggling.

Day 7 Marrakech

Sadly all good things come to an end. This Moroccan adventure finishes after breakfast today. We suggest taking the time to savour the fascinating sights of Marrakech before you leave. We can assist with an additional accommodation at the time of booking.

The Intrepid Travel Experience

If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.

Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.

Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.

Why Intrepid?

  •   Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
  •   Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
  •   Local leaders - authentic perspectives
  •   Local transport - get close and personal
  •   Local accommodation - experience real living
  •   Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions

Guides
All Intrepid Family trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to assist your family take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for fun things to do and see- for both kids and parents, recommend great local eating venues that will even get the kids trying new things, and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. Our leaders are not babysitters on this trip - we leave that to you (the experts), but they will make sure that group members of all ages are able to explore their destination safely and with as much fun as possible. Our group leaders are not responsible for looking after children at any time and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times throughout this itinerary.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. When travelling on a trip, you won't be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24 hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader. If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country. http://www.intrepidtravel.com/insurance.php
Visa requirements
Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Americans, EU and British citizens do not require a visa to visit Morocco for stays up to 90 days. All other nationalities should check with the Moroccan Embassy or Consulate in their country for up-to-date visa information.
