I had an excellent stay from beginning to end.
The airport pick-up was quick and efficient, and the transfer to the hotel went very smoothly. The team, Momo Hassan and Ismaël, were available and professional throughout the entire stay.
The meals were truly delicious, varied, and plentiful.
My guide, Ismaël, was fantastic: very professional, attentive, and passionate. Thanks to him, I was able to discover the area around Agadir as well as many iconic sites through beautiful hikes and visits.
A truly wonderful experience that I highly recommend.
I felt confident from start to finish. Ismaël was very attentive, a good listener, and very observant of every situation, which allowed him to anticipate any potential risks and adapt the activities accordingly.
He ensured the best possible conditions, taking into account the weather, the pace of the activities, and the well-being of the horses, incorporating rest periods when necessary. The entire experience was very well supervised, organized, and safe.
The horses are clean, well-groomed, and in good physical condition. They seem to be in a suitable and well-managed environment.
I witnessed a situation where a horse sustained a minor injury. Ismaël intervened quickly and took care of the horse diligently.
Overall, the horses appear to be well-maintained and healthy.
The names of the two horses are Anarouz and Itri.
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall comfort. Despite the length of the activities, I experienced very little discomfort, which is normal when riding, but truly minimal compared to what I had anticipated.
Everything was comfortable and well-suited, with no particular problems to report.
Everything was well thought out and implemented at each stage, especially by Mohamed, with efficient daily organization: meal management, setting up camp, and providing showers when needed. The accommodations were simple but very well organized, allowing me to fully enjoy the natural and wild surroundings.
From arrival at the airport to departure, all the staff were welcoming, smiling, and very pleasant. I felt comfortable throughout my stay, even though I traveled alone.
The organization, the guidance, and the overall atmosphere contributed to a wonderful experience in an exceptional natural setting.
I would be delighted to return to Morocco with the same team to discover other hikes.
Cap Rando Services:
Registration, organization, and follow-up were simple and efficient. The teams were responsive and available to answer my questions.
Everything was well prepared in advance, with a relevant and well-thought-out equipment list, almost all of which I used on site.
Overall, the service was smooth, clear, and well-organized from beginning to end.
The travel documents and website were clear, comprehensive, and well-organized. All the necessary information was easily accessible, which made preparing for the trip simple and smooth.
The documents provided were well-structured and allowed us to plan the trip with peace of mind.
Your suggestions for improving this trip and Cap Rando's services?
The trip and Cap Rando's services were already very well organized.
I don't have any particular suggestions for improvement; everything went smoothly and pleasantly from beginning to end.
Overall, the experience was very satisfying.
The welcome and support from Hassan (guide) and Mohammed (manager) were perfect.
The horses, tack, and safety management were all excellent.
We preferred the tent accommodation to staying with locals. The meals were delicious.
The basic "adventure" level of comfort suited us well for this week of riding.
The route is magnificent!
The ride on the beach on the last day could have been longer (or perhaps an extra ride could have been added upon arrival on the penultimate day).
Cap Rando Cheval's services are excellent.
Accueil et encadrement parfait de Hassan = guide, Mohammed = intendant.
Cavalerie, sellerie et gestion de la sécurité: parfait
Nous avons préféré le logement sous tente que chez l'habitant. Les repas étaient délicieux.
Le confort rudimentaire "aventure" nous convenait bien pour cette semaine à cheval.
L'itinéraire est magnifique !
La balade le dernier jour sur la plage aurait pu être plus longue (ou alors en faire une en plus lors de l'arrivée l'avant-dernier jour)
Les services de Cap Rando Cheval sont excellents
