Booking a Toubkal Climb: Prices, Dates, Payment and Cancellation FAQ

Before you book a Toubkal climb, you probably have a few practical questions that have nothing to do with the mountain itself. Here are direct answers to what people ask us most about prices, dates, payment and cancellation.

Quick answer: Our Toubkal climbs range from around 181 euros for a 2-day summit trek to around 451 euros for a 5-day Toubkal and Sahara combination, with the 3-day and 4-day packages priced in between. You choose a date on the relevant tour page, pay securely by card or PayPal, and your booking is confirmed only once that payment has been verified. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. A licensed mountain guide, as required for all foreign hikers, is included on every package, along with transport from Marrakech and the accommodation and meals listed on each tour page. Our local team has 16 years of experience and works with more than 15 accredited mountain guides.

Prices across our Toubkal packages

Price depends on the length and style of the package rather than a single flat rate. Our 2-day Mount Toubkal Summit Trek with Local Guide is priced from around 181 euros per person, our 3-day From Marrakech Mount Toubkal Climbing Trek is priced from around 225 euros, our 4-day Mount Toubkal Summit Trek is priced from around 226 euros, and our 5-day Toubkal and Sahara Desert Tour, which continues to Merzouga after the climb, is priced from around 451 euros. These prices can change with demand and season, so the figure shown on the tour page at the time you book is the one that applies. If you want to understand what is actually built into these prices before comparing them, our full Toubkal cost breakdown goes through this in more detail.

Choosing and checking a date

Each tour page shows available dates directly in the booking calendar, so you can see in real time whether your preferred day has space before you commit. If you are flexible, checking a few different dates can sometimes make a difference to availability, particularly in busier months. Our guide to the best time to climb Toubkal is useful background if you are still deciding when to go rather than which package to pick. Once you select a date, the price and any group size shown are specific to that date and tour.

How payment and confirmation work

Payment is made securely online using a card or PayPal at the time of booking. Nothing about your trek is guaranteed until that payment has gone through and been verified on our side, at which point you receive confirmation of your booking. This two-step process exists so that both sides know exactly where they stand: you are not left wondering if a date is actually held for you, and we do not hold a place without a completed payment. If you do not receive a confirmation after paying, it is worth checking your email including spam folders or contacting our team directly rather than assuming the booking failed. This matters most around busier months, when a date can fill between the moment you start checking and the moment you actually pay, so completing the payment step promptly once you have decided is the only way to secure a specific departure.

Cancellation and changing plans

If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Cancellations made after that window are handled on a case-by-case basis, so it is worth contacting our team as early as possible if you think you might need to change your dates. Keeping your booking flexible is one reason some travellers choose a longer package with a buffer day built in, which our comparison of Toubkal climb packages explains in more detail. Refunds, where applicable, are processed back to the original payment method, and our team can confirm timing once a cancellation has been logged, since this can vary slightly depending on your card provider or PayPal processing times.

What is included once you book

Regardless of which package you choose, your booking includes a licensed mountain guide, since this is mandatory for all foreign hikers on Toubkal, transport between Marrakech and the trailhead, and the accommodation and meals specified on that particular tour page, whether that is a mountain refuge, a local house, or a combination across a longer itinerary. Specific inclusions can vary slightly between the 2, 3, 4 and 5-day packages, so it is worth reading the inclusions list on the tour page you are considering rather than assuming every package matches exactly. Items such as rental equipment, tips for guides and muleteers, and travel insurance are generally not included in the headline price and are worth budgeting for separately, regardless of which package length you choose.

Booking for a group

If you are booking for a group of friends, family or colleagues, you can typically select the number of participants directly when booking online. For larger groups or if you have specific requirements, contacting our team before booking lets us confirm availability and any group considerations in advance. Climbers must be at least 16 years old on our Toubkal packages, so this is worth checking if you are booking on behalf of a mixed-age group. If your group includes travellers who want a private departure rather than joining a shared group, it is worth asking our team before booking, since private arrangements are available on several of our Toubkal packages depending on the date.

If anything here does not answer your specific question, our team is available to talk through your booking before you commit to a date.
