Morocco

Colour, culture and unforgettable cuisine

Sands, souks and sweet mint tea

From the bustling medinas of Marrakesh and Fez to the wild Atlantic beaches of Essaouira, the vast Sahara Desert to the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains – Morocco is vibrant, intense and endlessly fascinating.

Wander the blue-washed alleyways of Chefchaouen, hike North Africa’s highest peak, surf the ocean or get wonderfully lost in a tiny Berber village. Morocco’s cultural tapestry – a bold blend of Arab, European and African influences – is stitched into every colourful souk, handwoven rug and tiled courtyard.

And the food? Next level. Fragrant tagines, saffron-scented couscous, sweet mint tea and multi-course feasts served with a generous helping of spice and hospitality. (Pack an extra suitcase – trust us.)

Whether you’re here for the history, the adventure or the interiors of your dreams, Morocco will dazzle you at every turn.

Flight time

The flight from Auckland to Morocco takes roughly 27.5 hours with a stopover. Relax with a lovely massage or nap when you get there- the long flight will totally be worth for what you're about to experience.

Best time to go

The best time to visit Morocco is during spring (March–May) or autumn (September–November), when the weather is mild, crowds are fewer, and outdoor activities, festivals, cultural sightseeing, hiking, and coastal adventures are at their best.

Time difference

Morocco is 11–13 hours behind New Zealand depending on daylight saving in both countries. Drink lots of local coffee to get you through the adjustment period.

As a passionate globetrotter, I've explored the corners of the world with my three adventurous children and alongside friends and family, indulging in everything from backpacking escapades to luxurious resort retreats and exhilarating cruises.

My journey through the tapestry of travel experiences has been enriched by my upbringing in England and my time spent living amidst the captivating landscapes of Western Australia. It's these diverse backgrounds that have instilled in me a profound love for travel and a deep understanding of the intricacies of exploring different cultures and landscapes.

My journey through countless destinations has ignited a fervent dedication to curating unforgettable travel experiences, not just for myself, but for fellow wanderlust souls seeking to fulfil their travel dreams. Whether you're yearning for the rugged thrill of backpacking, the tranquil family getaways, the opulence of fancy resorts, or the serene luxury of cruising, I'm here to weave together the perfect itinerary tailored to your desires.

I want to take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on the excitement of your trip. I am highly organised and like to ensure everything has been thought of and accounted for. Communicating clearly along the way with you so you feel confident and reassured. 

I would love to help you with your next journey....wherever it may be!

I have been in and out of the industry since the 80's I have lived in Australia, Canada, Italy and of course NZ.

I have travelled to some great places but there is still a huge number of countries on my wish list.

There is nothing better than being able to help someone when they are going to a new place...recommend a hotel, restaurant or activity and then have them return to say how much they enjoyed it all.

Hey there!

I’m Laura, the smiley face you’ll spot as soon as you walk through our office door. With a serious case of wanderlust, I’ve done it all —lived abroad, cruised the seas, island-hopped, and even cruised around South Africa on the back of a motorbike. But let me tell you about my ultimate love affair Africa!

For three incredible years, I bounced between Australia and South Africa, exploring every corner of the country, often on the back of a motorbike. I’ve sat with elephants for hours, watched big cats hunting, and slept under the stars in the middle of a game reserve. My heart belongs to the wild, and if you’re an animal lover like me, trust me, Africa will capture yours too.

Nothing lights me up more than helping people experience this magic. The more I learn, the more excited I get about sharing these adventures with you! Whether it’s a dream safari, a relaxing cruise, or an off-the-beaten-path escape, I’m here to bring your travel dreams to life.

Let’s make your adventure happen!
