Ride a camel in Gran Canaria and go along to Maspalomas in Southern Gran Canaria. Go camel riding through the dunes in the desert-like landscape where the sand stretches as far as the eye can see. Since the 400 hectares of dunes were declared a nature reserve, they’ve really taken off in the land of toursim. Let yourself be swayed through the sand on the back of the camels and revel in the desert-like vibes – it’s a truly special experience!

Get on 1 of the 35 dromedaries and find out its name before you set out on your Arabian-like adventure. The camel safari in Gran Canaria is loved by the little ones. If the time is right, you might be able to set your eyes on some calves! Camels have the most fabulously brown eyes with lashes that go on for days. Camel rides in The Canaries let you get a taste of the dessert without making it as far as Africa or the UAE.

Camel fun in the dunes

This camel ride was a blast! Just imagine riding through those stunning Maspalomas dunes on a dromedary. The whole experience was thrilling, though a bit short at 30 minutes. The guides were friendly, and seeing those adorable camels up close was a treat. Make sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds. Worth the time!

Our child loved the opportunity to see the camels up close. The guide was friendly and informative. It was the ideal activity for our group and we recommend coming early to enjoy the best conditions.
