Essaouira Coastal Trail - Morocco

Essaouira Coastal Trail

5 star rating   22 September 2024

Luan who has been on 5 In The Saddle rides. Amazing horses & beach rides | Daily beach rides, a new beach each day and lots of sand gallops! All stallions very well cared for. This is a fast ride trail generally, with some slower and steep rocky rides up and down cliffs between the beaches- so not a ride for beginners.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Amazing food, lots of variety of vegetable tagine, salads, fruit & pancakes! Accommodation changed last minute to only 1 night camping instead of 4 and the rest in local guest houses near the beaches but this worked out much better in the Moroccan heat, with showers & some comforts!


Before Your Holiday

Did you have all of the information you needed to:

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

Pre ride hotel changed at the last minute and we weren’t informed, led to being dropped off at wrong hotel. Ideally any last minute changes would be communicated prior to travel.
Also only 1 night camping not 4 - would have been useful to know this before travelling.


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

As above- any changes to accommodation communicated prior to travel.


Do you have any other feedback for us?

Pre ride hotel food (first night) was awful.

The hotel Room was fine but you couldn’t even get a coffee or glass or water at the hotel.

Everyone in the group commented on the first night meal and how bad it was, so on our last night back at this hotel we went out to find a local restaurant & paid for this ourselves as that hotel food was so bad.

[In The Saddle: Thank you for highlighting the itinerary changes and bad hotel food. We are discussing this with the team in Morocco.]
