Overview


Here in magical Morocco we have the perfect destination for a very relaxed, week long rafting holiday. Set in the magnificent Middle Atlas mountain range the river Ahanssel gushes fresh from the rocks and runs deep through a dramatic river gorge, you’ll feel like you are starring in a movie. And the beauty of this river trip, is that all the family can enjoy the experience and have a real adventure together, in this remote, intoxicating location. It is the perfect antidote to those winter blues, the weather is warm and the scenery is stunning. With a chance also to explore the mystical city of Marrakech, get lost in the souqs and marvel at the snake charmers. Morocco will delight you in so many ways.

Ticked off on my BUCKET LIST!

22nd May 2023

March 2023

After delaying my trip for a couple of years due to the pandemic, I finally joined the WbN’s “Hidden Morocco” rafting experience. I LOVED it – WHAT an adventure & “high” this was! Moreover, it was my “first time” rafting AND camping. The rafting was great fun, not a penny in the pocket, remote & intoxicating locations, going back to basics on the camp sites, learning new skills and pushing my own limits. In the end, camping went very well. After 2 days, I was able to build & dismantle my tent all by myself …! Met some lovely and fun fellow travellers and we were safely guided down the river by Lupe & Shaun. What a team these two were: great chefs, professional, helpful & always positive, communicative between themselves and towards us, they looked after us very well – they were great & fun to be around.

At the end of the trip, they asked for our feedback: we just could NOT come up with anything negative about this experience. I personally wished I had joined WbN a decade or so ago; their destinations are so interesting and just all over this planet.

A BIG “thank you” to Lupe & Shaun and the excellent support from the office staff, making this trip to be a forever lasting memory.

Epic Adventures

Rated 5 out of 5
21st April 2022

I cannot speak highly enough of Water By Nature. The perfect mix of epic adventure with home-comfort style camping (think home-made lasagne on the camp-fire, G&T and comfy sleep kits).

The laid back approach belies a five star attitude to safety. I’ve enjoyed trips through Africa, Turkey, Nepal and most recenlty Morocco with Hamish and his team.

WBN have also successfully introduced my 2 teenage daughters to the adventure holiday concept. That alone is worth the gushing review.

Already planning our next river trip with this awesome crew.

Hidden Morroco Rafting

Rated 5 out of 5
23rd April 2019

We have just returned from a fantastic journey/experience/rafting down the Ahansal River. We (my husband, 15yr old daughter and I ) always try to pick an ‘adventure type’ of holiday and this didn’t disappoint. If you like the outdoor life, camping and the water, this is perfect. The rafting was fun and we always felt safe with a very professional, but fun team looking after us. The food was 5 star , plentiful and delicious (even for my very fussy daughter). The organisation of this trip was superb from start to finish, the only downside to this holiday was coming home. We are now saving for the next rafting experience.
