everything you need to know
- All bookings are 100% Covid-secure. If the event gets cancelled, you’ll receive 100% refund of your ticket price. If the event gets postponed, you’ll have a 2 week window from the date you are informed to apply for your 100% refund of your ticket and then after that your ticket will be automatically transferred to the new date.
- If you hold a passport from the UK or any EU country then you do not need a visa to enter Morocco for less than 90 days. Please visit your Government website for further information if you are travelling from any other country.
- Travel insurance is not included in your ticket package. Please ensure that you have this in place prior to leaving for Morocco, especially if you plan on taking part in adventure activities.
- Absolutely, we encourage it! You can book rooms of up to 4 people online and can split the basket with them at checkout - you’ll need each of their email addresses to do so. For large group booking we’d advise booking sooner rather than later as room size can be limited.
- You can still book on as a group, however you’ll have to select packages that work for you. For example, if there are 7 in your group, you’d select a triple room and a quad room then split the basket at checkout with the rest of your group.
- Nope! You can pay a £20 deposit (£25 if you’re booking private) to secure your place and then the balance will be split over the remaining months and will leave your bank on the same day each month via direct debit. You can of course pay the full amount upfront if you like.
- By booking early you not only get your first choice of room size but the first 100 people also get free hotel upgrades for your stays in Marrakech! You also have a longer period to split your payment instalments over which, makes managing your funds that little bit easier.
- All your hotel accommodation will be private yes, so if you have booked a 3 person package you will receive a triple room. However, during our stay in the Sahara this is a lot more relaxed so accommodation will not be private. There will be private toilets & showers available though.
- Members of the Driftaway team will be at the airport throughout the day on April 5th to welcome you all to Morocco. Please ensure you have your tickets with the bar code to hand as you enter the arrivals area. The lead booker will need photographic ID that matches the name on the ticket. You’ll have your ticket scanned and be shown to your transport. We will also have team members at the hotels to greet you if decide to travel to Morocco earlier. Please DM one of our social pages or email moc.dlrowyawatfird%40ofni nearer to the event and we can tell you what hotel you’ll need to make your way to.
