Camel ride in the Maspalomas sand dunes
A 30-minute camel ride through the sandy landscape beside the Maspalomas dunes, with Sahrawi guides and two-seater saddles so you sit beside your companion rather than on the hump.
About this activity
The camel station sits a short walk from Charca de Maspalomas, and the ride lasts around 30 minutes. You climb into a two-seater saddle, which means two people travel side by side and nobody has to perch on the hump.
Sahrawi guides lead the camels and stay with you for the whole ride. The pace is slow, so there is time to look across the sandy terrain and the dunes themselves while you go.
Places are first come, first served, so arriving early in the day tends to mean less waiting at the station.
