One of the best holidays I've ever had! Going with like minded people makes a massive difference. I loved the fact that everything was organised and taken care of to the T: transfers, accommodation, food (oh the wonderful local fresh food 🤤), surf lessons, daily agenda, trips, even a professional camera for surfing pics 😍 I didn't have to think about anything at all, except for which bikini to wear, a complete mental reset 🧘♀️. And maybe the biggest bonus booking through you guys (Sportas) is the security, I've seen ads for surfing trips on insta before, but I would've needed to go by myself and be with a completely random group of people, plus how do you know the host is legitimate and it's not a scam? Going with you I knew I'll be in safe hands and people at Sportas community will be cool as well!
The trip was amazing for me from start to finish. The accommodation was great with kind staff and lots of open space to hang out. The food was really good, and nice to have home cooked meals all throughout the day. All the staff at Shaka Surf were excellent from the top with Beth and Hassan to the our driver Mbarek, Rachid the photographer/jack of all trades and the surfing instructors Mohammed and Ayub. All were lovely and a big part of my experience. The excursions (Souk, Paradise Valley, sand surfing) were great to experience and gave us a nice break from surfing while seeing more of the local area.
Overall 10/10 trip and I'm lucky to have experienced this👍🏽
It was an amazing experience to learn a new sport with other likeminded people and the food was incredible and very well balanced! What I and other noticed as well that it was great not to have that mental load of planning etc as we already had an itinerary and everything scheduled so there was no hassle. Beth was great at her recommendations and support in many other things in Morocco (bonus: her son was so cuteee) It was nice to have a bit of down time and we could do what we want as well It was great having a big group as you can mingle with many different characters Deffo get zinc sticks as most of us would have burnt noses and cheeks and some burnt hands Overall was a great experience and 100% do a Hammam and massage at the end of the trip as we we all really needed it after paddling and surfing for a week🧖🏽♀️ Big thanks to you guys for organising this as well. I hope the people next year enjoy it as much as we did :)
Morocco Trip 2025 review.
Food quality, variety and presentation at the house was over-expected. If 5 stars is the maximum punctuation, I would give 5++. Coaching classes were outstanding. I am 50 years old, I have never tried to surf before and I am not a high skilled swimmer. Despite all this, the coaches managed to make me stand on the board in the first hour. Instructions were easy to understand and to follow. It's recommended to bring your own wax, and surfing shoes, especially where there are pebbles or stones. The house is very well maintained and clean. Big rooms and lots of big common spaces to share. The views from the house are spectacular; sunsets while having dinner outside will be in my retina for years. The area around the village is not the best, to be honest. Dusty and dirty streets are the general rule. Check if you can pay with big notes before ordering. Waiters will accept big notes if you let them know earlier. The closest ATM charges with 65 Dirhams (GE) for any amount of money. At the airport, you'll be charged 3.5 to 4.5%. Changing 120£ into Dirhams should be more than enough, cause all transports and foods are included. My group booked a massage session on the second day, and we could afford the rest of the week nicely. Beth will give advices during the week. She is very friendly and visited us a few times during our stay. All the staff behaved amazingly good with us, always there to help.
