Your Mission Brief, if you choose to accept it

Immersing you into a world of mystery and intrigue, Pelorus will leave no stone unturned on this action-packed, Mission Impossible-inspired adventure. From the moment you land, until the successful completion of your mission, you will be an operative on assignment, paired with a carefully selected team of specialists. Set out to explore incredible locations across Morocco, meeting with ex-Special Forces Commanders and stunt coordinators from the Mission Impossible film franchise, while pushing your physical and mental limits in a series of adrenaline-fuelled activities along the way.

Lake Landing

Landing into Marrakech, you have one week to complete your Morocco mission, which begins in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Arrive at the striking villa which features in Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, where you will be briefed by your Mission Expert and receive your personalised mission kit. This afternoon, your training begins, as you learn desert survival skills and receive your first instructions for charting your course across Morocco, followed by a night in luxury as your private chef prepares dinner.

Take to the skies on a helicopter flight to Bin El Ouidane Lake for an exhilarating start to your day. Make your way by jet skiing, rafting or kayaking across the lake, or take a leap of faith and drop straight from your hovering aircraft straight into the water. Once across, 4x4 vehicles await for an off-road driving challenge to get you to your next checkpoint, known as “The Cathedral”. Scaling this towering rock formation, arrive just in time to witness a base jumper take flight off the cliff edge and meet with the stunt coordinators from the Mission film series who filmed across Morocco’s remote locations. Abseil down the rockface to receive your next clue, leading you to a nearby Berber village, where a local Moroccan family welcomes you to your refuge for the night.

Mountain Mobilisation

A morning of climbing in Zaouiat Ahansal awaits, the perfect immersion into the rocky High Atlas Mountains, where you will try your hand at navigating a via ferrata alongside expert mountaineering guides. A mecca for climbing enthusiasts, head to the wall where Alex Honnold trained for his legendary “Free Solo” climb. After honing your abilities, it’s time to set out for an exploration of this stunning landscape as you hike your first 20km over a ridge to a series of caves, ready for a night of camping and putting your bouldering and survival skills to the test.

The hike continues the next morning for a further 20km as you navigate to your next checkpoint, testing both your physical and mental fortitude – which will be well-rewarded once you arrive for a delicious outdoor lunch at a secret Berber encampment. Here, your guides will share valuable intel on the next stage of your mission. This afternoon, be transported to a charming guesthouse in the Dades Gorge for a night of welcome rest.

Desert Discovery

Jumping aboard motorbikes, it is time for tactical speed and strategy as you race to meet the remainder of your mission team. Switch to 4x4s as you get closer to your next destination on the outskirts of a fascinating “city” in the heart of the Sahara Desert. Here, the mysticism deepens as the sun sets over your luxury desert camp. Gaze up at the night sky as an expert astronomer teaches you invaluable navigation skills using the stars and points out key constellations that may just lead to your next clue.

Continue your operation by entering into a world unlike any you’ve ever experienced. Part art installation, part mathematical model, today you will have exclusive access to one of Earth’s most creative endeavours. Solving a series of puzzles will lead you right into the heart of the “Stairway to Heaven”, where the answer to the mystery of your mission is hidden. Make a quick getaway as you head for your waiting 4x4 dune buggies, specially adapted to traverse the shifting sands as you speed towards your final luxury camping location. Tonight, celebrate your success with a traditional feast, complete with Moroccan folk music and dancing.

Medina Maze Run

Storm the desert aboard dune buggies one last time as you make your way to the extraction point, where your private airplane will be waiting. Soar across to Marrakech, where your mission culminates. Tasked with delivering the object you uncovered in the desert; you will need to employ all your newly learned skills as you try to shake your pursuers. Prepare for a high-speed action car chase through the city streets right up to the medina doors, before racing on foot through narrow alleys and across rooftops with only one way out: a daring rappel down the building to make your final escape and complete your Moroccan mission – should you choose to accept it.

Your next mission awaits...
