 Hello friends, welcome back to the channel. If you're new here, my name's Habiba. I'm a full-time adventure traveler and this is my YouTube channel Tracking Pals where I share my adventures around the world. Today I am in a beautiful village on the Atlantic coast of Morocco called Welidia. It's about 200 kilometers from Marrakech and from Casablanca and it's a wonderful destination if you want to get your dose of vitamin C. Welidia is mostly known for its protected lagoon which makes for great swimming, kayaking, bird watching but it's also known for being Morocco's oyster capital. There are so many oyster farms here in and around the lagoon and I am so excited today to bring you with to show you around the beautiful village of Welidia. Let's go! I am out here today with the Yasin from Welidia Vibes and he's going to help us put together an itinerary to explore some hidden gems of Welidia which I didn't plan in the beginning. I was going to explore by myself with my mom who's traveling with me but right now we are at his house I believe and we're just loading the car with the kayaks. We're gonna go kayaking first. We've got two kayaks, one sit on single for myself and another double for him and for my mom so very excited. I was just told that right underneath us there are boxes of oysters I mean this is as fresh as it gets there are a bunch of businesses right here taking care of all of these oyster farms there are so many boxes right underneath me I can see them I don't want to dip my camera though because I've got the microphone but right there right there this is incredible and then the facilities over there are where most of these oysters are being processed right there. So cool Welidia you guys this is this is awesome this is amazing we just got out of the kayaks they're parked all the way there for the first break and the reason we're out here is to check a Moslem and see if there's anything else to show you inside this is incredible when we were in the city I could see it from up top but I wasn't sure what it was there is a Mesjid a mosque right here not quite sure if it's open and that's the Moslem right there we just got out of the kayaks right there to check this restaurant I don't recall the name but I'm gonna leave it in the bottom right here it's not only a restaurant but they do have an oysters park and there are the guys right behind me they are processing some of the oysters straight from the lagoon right here so my mom's up there there we're gonna taste some oysters today let's go it's okay we just got our plate of oysters which I'm very very excited about they look so fresh they smell just like the ocean so cheers mmm this is amazing so good so good for today we chose to kayak but right behind me you can see a couple of boats like this one right here and usually people visiting well idea they would take a boat tour which is a shorter tour so if you are traveling with older people or someone who can't really you know go in a kayak for an extended amount of time this is a good option and you can even choose how long you want to go for but nothing beats being on a kayak we just got out of the lagoon you can see my little kayak right there and then there are a bunch of boats that people take to to tour the lagoon this experience was so incredible I highly highly recommend it this was this was amazing we are on our way to the beach but I just wanted to stop here to show you all of the quad bikes right there for rentals so in case you want to take them I'm not sure if you can take them on the beach but maybe around the village you can rent them out there it's very clear I mean you'll see it but anyway I'm starving and I cannot wait for some fresh seafood this is such a perfect view for lunch with all of the seagulls and the waves it's a little bit foggy but that makes the whole view a bit more dramatic we've got a variety of seafood that really smells so good got some salad bread and we've got some soda let's begin I want to show you guys the lagoon it's right behind me that's where we were kayaking earlier but it's also the main area for swimming the water is still it's very quiet you can go and swim and have a lot of fun but then behind me through the rocks right there is the ocean where the waters are very rough and here in well idea the locals tries to separate it into two separate sections there is La Petite where the lagoon is very friendly for swimming and then La Grande on the other side where the waters are a little bit rough and it's not too far I mean one beach you can walk from La Petite to La Grande but if you want to swim the lagoon is the way to go but I'm gonna probably walk just between the rocks right here because there are so many beautiful small pools and see if we can find something interesting today these rocks are absolutely amazing there are so many caves on the other side over there carved by the water but it's just so incredible and peaceful there is a bird right in front of me I'm gonna try to be a little bit quiet and show it to you guys so pretty there are so many birds in the lagoon we don't see a lot here it's mostly seagulls but when we were kayaking earlier we even saw flamingos which was pretty epic it's right there there it is so this square right behind me looks empty right now but during summer it's pretty busy I mean La Idia is very very popular during summer season it's extremely different than what it is right now we're certainly traveling during the off season but usually in the square over there there are a bunch of performances going on mini festivals and then I can see further out there are some rentals of like mini bikes and scooters for kids to have some fun and then also over there there are a few vendors selling some seafood especially oysters sea urchins a variety of oysters it's definitely worth stopping by at some point if you are here in Wellidia I didn't have a chance to do so because I'm already full but if I have some time I might show you tomorrow let's see good morning everybody it's our last day here in Wellidia and we are ready to head out to our next city in Morocco I'm very very excited about but before we do that I want to show you around the Airbnb where we are staying here in Wellidia there are so many options for accommodation from budget friendly to five stars executive level hotels if you wish so a lot of people choose to stay next to the main lagoon so that you can just walk directly to the water but I chose this place that's a little bit further out it's very calm very quiet incredible view the view was the number one reason why I chose this place the only inconvenience is that you have to walk about 20 to 30 minutes to get to the main lagoon which I personally don't mind but I'm traveling with my mom I love this place so incredible I can't wait to show you around and let me know in the comments how much do you think I paid per night for this cute little Airbnb let's look around this is the main entrance there is a small courtyard right here and then that's the main door to the Airbnb there is a terrace all the way up I'm going to show you towards the end there's a little seating area with chairs beautiful flowers and then on this side there is a little kitchenette with the fridge and microwave and pretty much everything that we need my mom is the type of person that prefers to cook when traveling to make sure that she is having or we are having healthy meals so we were able to find everything that we needed to make some food they have a coffee maker they've got all type of utensils pans pots you name it let me close the door first and then this is where the room is this is a queen size bed they have a mini closet with some extra pillows and sheets beautiful Moroccan style mirrors and decoration and there is an extra couch right here this couch turns into a bed so I would say that this room can really accommodate up to three people two people in the queen size bed and then you can make a couch out of this and they have this little seating area with a little table before I show you the view I'm going to show you the bathroom simplistic bathroom super clean and there's a shower right there and then onto the epic part the view look at that that's the lagoon in the front that's one of the sections where we were kayaking earlier meet my mom and then further out is where the lagoon meets the ocean you can see the waves over there and this is the property underneath us which has a beautiful garden some banana trees it's so very peaceful very calm you can also see the water on the other side and then from this window this is the main street in well idea so you walk all the way for about like like I said 20 to 30 minutes to get to the main lagoon it's a very easy walk and on your way you will find a lot of stores my mom just told me earlier that there was a store right in front of the property right here so she literally just walked out to grab a couple of things to make breakfast but this is the property pretty nice I was very very happy with it let's move into the terrace we just walked a little bit further down the trail and look at this view this is incredible over there is La Sultana it's a five stars hotel it's so incredible it's right by the water and you can see all of the fields they have mini farms farm to table I'm sure and you can see out there there are a few boats to take people on tours a lot of farming going on around the hotel so incredible
