Day 1: Into The Heart Of Argana’s Enchantment

Your adventure begins at 9:30 AM with a pickup at the Jimi Hendrix Café in Diabat. There, you’ll meet the team and your horses. They’ll collect your luggage, which will be transported separately to the evening’s accommodation.

The rhythm of hoofbeats carries you into the lush argan forests. Discover Argana, home to the region’s oldest and most majestic argan tree—standing as a timeless guardian of the land. Participate in an authentic argan oil workshop, a hands-on experience of local craftsmanship.

Enjoy a fresh lunch beneath eucalyptus trees before settling in for the night in a guest house.
As the day winds down, you’ll indulge in a traditional Moroccan dinner at the villa.

Day 2: From the Heartland to the Ocean — via Sidi M’Barek Waterfalls

Wake up to the promise of another extraordinary day, beginning with a hearty breakfast to fuel your ride.
Set out from Argana and trace a scenic route through rolling countryside and peaceful Berber villages. Warm smiles, mint tea and a glimpse into ancestral traditions welcome you along your path.

As you approach the Atlantic, you make a beautiful detour to the Sidi M’Barek waterfalls, where freshwater meets ocean cliffs in a dreamy natural setting—perfect for photos and a moment of calm.

Continue your ride to the coastline and arrive in Sidi Kaouki in the afternoon.
Settle into the accommodation, unwind, and end the evening with a delicious Moroccan dinner.

Day 3: Shorter Yet Sporty Ride, Beach Freedom & Sunset Magic

Breakfast, prepare horses.
Saddle up and head out for a shorter yet sporty coastal ride, exploring wild nature and nearby beaches. After a liberating gallop along the shoreline, you return to your accommodation in Sidi Kaouki for lunch and a relaxing afternoon by the pool.

This is the perfect moment to soothe your muscles with a massage — available on request at booking.

As the sun softens over the Atlantic, you’ll mount up again for a memorable sunset ride.
Choose between:
• A breathtaking golden-beach sunset ride
• Or a bareback ride & swim with your horse — a rare and unforgettable bond

We’ll also take time to film short individual rider videos, capturing your moment of connection and freedom.

Day 4: Farewell To The Coast

After breakfast and preparing the horses, we’ll depart from Sidi Kaouki around 10 AM. We’ll have a scenic picnic lunch break in the shade of Eucalyptus trees or by a fisherman’s cabin with stunning ocean views. The highlight of the day will be an exhilarating gallop across a vast sandy beach, a moment of pure freedom.

As the trek nears its end, we’ll spot the distant Mogador Island. Along the way, we’ll take individual gallop videos and ride past an ancient sultan’s palace, before arriving back at the stables around 5 PM, with memories to last a lifetime.
