Set amongst the middle Atlas, the Hidernal is one of the most scenic spots we have ever been rafting and it presents a perfect opportunity to learn to kayak. People often see our safety kayakers on trips and think "wow, that looks cool" and think how they too would love to learn how to kayak... but preferably in a warm climate!

This is an opportunity to learn a great new skill from some of the best kayakers in the world on a pretty mellow river, and with beautiful weather to top it all. Experience the adrenaline rush when you take on your first white water sucessfully... what a buzz.

On your last 2 days through a stunning, steep sided gorge where you will experience a tranquility you’ll never find anywhere else as you look up to the deep blue sky... you and your boat now in perfect unison.

And when you reach the lake, Bin El Ouidane, quiet reflection on your personal achievement as you sit back and take in the scenery in all it's splendour. This is a trip for those wanting something more than just a holiday.

We will teach you all you need to know by starting with the basic strokes and learning to eskimo roll on flat water before heading up to the challenge of some fun whitewater under the expert tuition of some of the best kayakers in the world.

We camp at remote, pristine beaches along the way with support from our gear boat carrying all our supplies and equipment.

We teach you all necessary safety procedures including self rescue and helping others. Whether you have kayaked before or not this will still prove an amazing experience.

Learning to kayak is a freedom to express yourself, get out with friends and have fun, and maybe go on to explore other great rivers, perhaps in the region you live or further afield.

Why not make this the year to teach yourself a fantastic new skill and enter the ever downward spiral of whitewater trash.. We welcome experienced kayakers on many of our other trips, please contact us for details.
