Additional Information
Embark on an exciting camel ride journey across the dunes of Southern Gran Canaria, specifically in Maspalomas - an activity deemed a cultural heritage of the locale. Envision yourself as a desert explorer or emulate Lawrence of Arabia astride one of our camels while you bask in a delightful ride across the seemingly infinite dunes of Maspalomas.
The excursion lasts approximately 30 minutes and ventures through the barren landscapes of Gran Canaria. Our tranquil camels are at your disposal to ride - but don’t fret. They feature cozy double-seater saddles positioned on their sides, avoiding the hump.
Feel the Sahara desert’s essence as you journey on our docile camels, escorted by our Saharawi guides. Besides, these camel adventures in the dunes have been recognized as a Cultural Heritage of the region.
- For comfort of the camel, passengers weighing more than 110 kg will not be able to make the ride.
- Important to arrive between 9 am and 11 am to avoid long queues.

Great experience - It was a lovely experience. The camels also seemed quite happy. I would definitely recommend doing this at least once. We went in January, so we didn’t have to wait long to ride the camels (~20 mins).

Camel safari trip - Booked our tickets through trip advisor which was very easy to do!
Messaged the company to ask what time was the best time to come and had an answer very promptly advising to come early.
Got a taxi from our hotel and arrived at 8.40 am and we were 2nd in the queue.
Staff opened the gate at 9 am we went to register and was on the camels by 9.15.
Fantastic trip through the dunes, really enjoyable!
With the option of buying a picture at the end for £5 which is very reasonable compared to other trips we have been on .
Very highly recommended thank you

Good start to the day - Staff were friendly, made sure everyone was comfortable getting on and off camels. It’s central to Las Maspolamos bus station so easy to get to via public transport.

Nice camel ride. - 30-minute tour of a small part of the Maspalomas Dunes because they are very large.
Well organized tour, children can be alone (without adults) on the camels.
30 minutes is good for discovering without it being too long.
In short, nice for a family discovery of camels.

I EXPECTED BETTER - Very nice experience, my daughter had a lot of fun! But honestly I really expected something more! Prices €15 adults €10 children, expensive for what they offer you. I was expecting a tour on real dunes and not on a simple organized route, the tour only lasts 30 minutes, honestly there are more beautiful places and things to do and see but all in all it can be done!

A nice change despite the long wait. - We were there at about 9:45 a.m. Despite booking the day before, we had to queue for about half an hour to get to the ticket office. Only then did we get the final ticket and then had to wait another two hours before we could go on the ride. The people were very friendly and it was a nice change of pace despite everything. It's important that if you're interested, you go there in person to book, book the ride and the date and time at the same time, because when you come on your date you can go straight to the entrance and don't have to wait so long. (Except for tour groups, these are always pushed in between).
