Marrakech Magic — Wander the medina like a local, slip into hidden souks, discover secret gardens, and soak up stories only found in winding alleys and tucked-away riads.
Sunrise Balloon Ride — Float above Amazigh villages and Atlas peaks as the sun spills gold across the horizon. Champagne breakfast included, because why not.
Sidecar Spin + Calligraphy Workshop — Hop on a vintage sidecar (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds) then learn the ancient beauty of Arabic script with an artist who turns ink into magic.
High Atlas Retreat — Escape the mountains for a slower pace and breathtaking views. Hammam steam, mountain hikes, or journal time with mint tea in hand.
A Day in the Life of Amazighs — Cook tajine over a fire with mountain views, and walk the trails with Amazigh hosts who’ll share traditions passed down for centuries.
Community Connection — Spend a day with the Assafou Association, a nonprofit uplifting local women and children through education and development. You’ll see firsthand how small actions ripple into lasting change.

What to expect
Welcome to Adventure Collective, where travel isn’t just about checking off bucket-list sights. It’s about transformation, connection, and those “I’ll never forget this” moments that stay with you long after your bags are unpacked.
Here’s what it feels like to be part of the Collective:
Land like a VIP — From the moment you arrive, you’re taken care of. No awkward solo taxis or fumbling at the airport. Someone will be waiting to whisk you to your boutique riad. We’ll even zip you through fast track so your journey starts calm, cared for, and a little bit like royalty.
A welcome dinner that feels like a reunion — Picture a table full of women who just get it. Laughter rising over shared plates, stories spilling out as easily as the wine. From night one, you’ll feel part of something bigger.
Your own space (if you want it) — Share a room with one amazing new friend (no bunk beds here) or upgrade to a private room if that’s your recharge style.
Choose your pace — Some days we’ll adventure together. Other times you’ll follow your curiosity — journaling in a café, hiking mountain trails, or savoring a hammam spa day. Built-in breathing room is intentional.
Meet the locals, not just the landmarks — We don’t just tour Morocco, we connect with the people who call it home. That means learning Amazigh traditions firsthand and spending time with the Assafou Association, a nonprofit creating ripple effects for women and children in the High Atlas.
Travel solo, but never alone — You may arrive not knowing a soul, but you’ll leave with a Collective of incredible women who’ll be in your corner long after the trip. These friendships run deep — and they often start on day one.
Get ready to feel Connected. Brave. Inspired. Alive.
This isn’t just a trip. It’s a turning point.

Daily Itinerary
-
A few weeks before wheels up, we’ll circle up on a virtual Collective Connection Call.
Think of it as your pre-party for Morocco where you’ll meet the ladies, crack open your Collective Compass journal, and set intentions for what you want this journey to unlock.
With Adventure Collective, transformation starts before your bag is even packed. -
Upon arrival in Marrakech, you’ll have fast-track service through the airport to help smooth your entry, followed by a private driver waiting to bring you into the Red City.
Before our welcome dinner, we’ll enjoy a short guided stroll with Siham, the incredible woman who owns our partner travel company and will be leading us throughout the journey.
She’ll introduce you to Marrakech with stories only a local could share, setting the stage for the week ahead.
Then it’s time to gather for dinner, raise a glass, and kick off our first Collective Compass circle.Stay: RIAD KNIZA HOTEL (OR SIMILAR)
-
Today is all about soaking up Marrakech’s magic through art, design, and history.
This private, customized tour takes you to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and the iconic Majorelle Gardens, before weaving into the spiritual heart of the city at the Koutoubia Mosque.
We’ll continue to El Bahia Palaceand Gardens, step back in time at the Medersa Ben Youssef, and (of course) wander through the souks and local alleys that make Marrakech endlessly fascinating.
To top it off, your Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent experience will be guided by a local artist or designer, giving you insider stories you won’t find in any guidebook.Stay: RIAD KNIZA HOTEL (OR SIMILAR)
-
We’re up before dawn, and trust us - it’s worth it.
Float above the desert plains in a hot air balloon as the sun spills over the Atlas Mountains, painting the sky in shades you won’t believe are real.
Afterward, we’ll tuck into a traditional Amazigh breakfast before heading back to Marrakech.
The afternoon is yours, and your Destination Guide is full of our favorite hidden cafés, rooftop nooks, and spots to explore, whether solo or with your new besties.Stay: RIAD KNIZA HOTEL (OR SIMILAR)
-
Strap into a vintage sidecar and zip through Marrakech’s backstreets, secret gardens, and unexpected corners that most travelers never see.
Midday, we’ll pause for a leisurely lunch, swapping stories and bites before diving into something a little slower: calligraphy.
Guided by a local master, you’ll discover how the graceful swirls of Arabic script are woven into Morocco’s history, art, and daily life.
By the end, you won’t just have an artifact — you’ll have a personal piece of Morocco written in your own hand.Stay: RIAD KNIZA HOTEL (OR SIMILAR)
-
This morning is your last chance to enjoy Marrakech at your own pace. Sip one more mint tea on a rooftop, wander a favorite alley, or tuck into a café for a little journal time.
By afternoon, we’ll wind our way into the High Atlas Mountains, where dramatic peaks and fresh mountain air set a whole new pace.
Once settled into our retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to indulge in a traditional hammam and spa experience - the perfect welcome to mountain life.
Tonight, relax into slower rhythms and let the starlit skies remind you why you came.Stay: ATLAS SMILE RETREAT (OR SIMILAR)
-
Step into the rhythm of Amazigh life. Today, you’ll be guided by locals who call the High Atlas home as you learn about their traditions, taste their food, and walk their trails.
Expect a mix of storytelling, stunning mountain views, and hands-on experiences like making traditional mint tea, trying your hand at local crafts, and sharing a meal prepared with love.
This isn’t just a visit, it’s a window into daily life in the mountains, full of warmth, resilience, and connection.Stay: ATLAS SMILE RETREAT (OR SIMILAR)
-
Today’s about giving back. We’ll spend the day with the Assafou Association, a local nonprofit that supports education, women’s empowerment, and rural development in the High Atlas region.
You’ll hear firsthand stories of impact, meet the incredible women leading change in their communities, and see how your presence here matters.
Expect to roll up your sleeves, share in the laughter of children, and walk away with a renewed sense of purpose. This isn’t charity tourism, it’s connection at its most powerful.Stay: ATLAS SMILE RETREAT (OR SIMILAR)
-
We’ll trade mountains for desert today, heading to the Agafay for an unforgettable finale.
Think golden light stretching across rocky dunes, a camel ride that feels straight out of a storybook, and a night under a star-pierced sky.
Our camp is equal parts chic and soulful, with tents dressed in local textiles and cozy touches that invite you to linger.
Tonight, we’ll gather for a henna celebration, share our final Collective Compass circle, and savor dinner under the stars. If there’s ever been a moment to pause and soak it all in — this is it.Stay: INARA CAMP (OR SIMILAR)
-
After breakfast in the desert, it’s time to journey back toward Marrakech for departures.
Hugs will be long, promises to reunite will be genuine, and you’ll leave with more than memories, you’ll leave with a circle of women who feel like family and a compass pointing you toward whatever’s next.
Morocco may stay behind, but the connection travels home with you.
-
We’ll gather again for three post-trip Collective Connection calls—designed to help you reflect, reconnect, and carry the magic forward long after you’re home.
One month after the journey, we’ll come together to share what’s shifted—what’s been stirred, what’s sticking, and what’s surprising.
At the three-month mark, we’ll revisit the goals and intentions you set before the trip and check in on how those seeds are growing.
Six months later, we’ll gather one last time to celebrate the ripple effect—what’s changed, what’s unfolded, and what’s next.Because the friendships you make here? They don’t fade. They deepen.
You’ll leave with more than memories.
You’ll leave with a Collective.

Meet your trip host
Lindsay
Hey there! I’m Lindsay, and I’ll be your guide, host, hype woman, and logistics ninja on this adventure.
After years planning, guiding, and curating transformational trips around the world, I created Adventure Collective to bring together like-minded women through travel that’s intentional, immersive, and connection-driven.
This trip isn’t a package pulled from a catalog—it’s a curated collection of my favorite places, people, and experiences, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
A few fun things to know about me:
I take my coffee very seriously. (If you need espresso tips, I’ve got you.)
I have a dog named Leo who’s probably having FOMO while I’m on this trip.
I’ve traveled to 58 countries and believe the best stories start when you say “yes” to something unexpected.
More than anything, I believe in the power of community and courage—and that travel can be the spark that changes everything.
Let’s do this. Let’s make some ridiculous, heart-expanding memories together.

If you’re a woman who’s ready to make herself a priority—maybe for the first time in a long time—you’re in the right place.
Most of our travelers are from the U.S. and in their 40s and beyond, though age is just a number here. What actually matters? That you show up with an open heart, a curious spirit, and a kind, uplifting energy.
We’re all about building a community where women support each other, not compete. So if you’re someone who cheers others on, leans into real connection, and believes there’s room for all of us to shine—you’ll fit right in.
Whether you’re flying solo or bringing a friend, you’ll be surrounded by thoughtful, adventurous women here for something meaningful: deeper conversations, slower mornings, and a shared sense of “I’ve been needing this.”
If that sounds like your kind of adventure… welcome to the Collective. You’ve found your people.
-
Solo travelers, rejoice. Most of our adventurers come solo, so you’ll never feel like the odd one out. From the moment you sign up, we help you connect with your fellow travelers through our online trip forum, virtual “Trip Talks,” and optional pre-trip meetups.
Bringing a friend? Absolutely. While most women come solo, all are welcome—whether you’re adventuring with your sister, your college bestie, or someone you just met in yoga class. You do you.

In short: the adventure of a lifetime—minus the stress.

You’re welcome to use any provider, but we strongly recommend that you’re covered. Peace of mind is a beautiful travel companion.

Let’s be honest—half the magic of an Adventure Collective trip is who you meet. Most guests will share a room with another incredible woman who’s here for the same reason you are: meaningful connection, deep belly laughs, and a little soul-sparking adventure.
But if you’re more of a journal-in-bed, relax and recharge solo type, we’ve got you.
For $1,000 extra, you can claim your own private room for the Morocco Connection. Just select the private room option in the booking form, and voilà—privacy secured.So whether you’re rooming with a new soul sister or flying solo, you’ll be in good company.
-
Morocco Connection is more meander than marathon. You’ll enjoy relaxed walking through medinas, gardens, and souks, with one or two light walks in the High Atlas Mountains.
There are no strenuous hikes, no biking, and nothing extreme. Just enough movement to feel good and plenty of time to pause for mint tea, journal, or soak in the scenery.
Need a little more detail? Just ask—we’re happy to help you decide if this trip is the right pace for you.

We’re glad you asked!
We can help with early arrivals and post-trip adventures, including add-ons to places like Fez or Casablanca.

You don’t need a passport full of stamps to join us—just a curious spirit and a willingness to say yes to something new. Many of our travelers are stepping outside their comfort zones for the first time in years (or ever), and we’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
Here’s how we’ve got you covered:
