Booking option: In Gran Canaria Camel Riding in Maspalomas

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.

Nice experience

My wife and I really enjoyed this experience. It was very warm though. But the trip itself was great!

Big fun

We booked the camel riding for our daughters. In the beginning they were a bit intimidated by the animals but as soon as they were sitting on their back their eyes started to glow. Camel riding was one of our holiday highlights and made for great snapshots. The price is okay.

Großer Spaß

Wir haben das Kamelreiten für unsere Töchter gebucht. Am Anfang waren sie von den Tieren etwas eingeschüchtert aber sobald sie auf dem Rücken saßen haben ihre Augen angefangen zu leuchten. Das Kamelreiten war eines unserer Urlaubshighlights und hat für tolle Schnappschüsse gesorgt. Der Preis ist dafür in Ordnung.

Cool experience

Exploring the environment on the back of a camel is just awesome. A cool alternative to cross the dunes of Maspalomas.

Coole Erfahrung

Auf dem Rücken eines Kamels die Umgebung zu erkunden ist einfach genial. Eine coole Alternative die Dünen von Maspalomas zu durchqueren.

An excellent experience

I’ve always wanted to ride a camel and now I can finally say I’ve done it. It was a lovely experience and I loved every minute of it.

Curious animals

They are the most curious animals and it was my first time getting so close to them. I was a bit nervous at first but now I just see them as desert donkeys or horses.

Nice experience with camels

Very nice experience, the animals very well cared for and treated. No need to go to the Middle East to experience camels, I highly recommend it!
