Amazing unforgettable experience! - It’s was an amazing experience from start to end. Since the tour is in high demand and there are only limited number of camels, upon arrival we were told that we will get on a tour leaving hour and a half later (bookings are on first come first serve basis on the day) and that allowed us to explore the surrounding area. Tour departed right on time and lasted 35 mins through the sand dunes of Maspalomas. On a sunny day (25C) riding a camel through desert sand was a unique experience for us. The guide took 2 photos with the camel (while on it) which were available to buy for €5/each at the end. Altogether a great experience and we have got lasting memories.

Cute experience - Nice experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Too bad about the ride. Short and turns in circles. I hoped I could at least see the ocean.

Great morning out - Found tickets on here when other sites had sold out. Very easy to book and the information given was easy to follow. Tickets were valid between 9-11am. We turned up at 8.45 and had to wait until 10am for our ride. If we’d been much later then our wait would have been much longer so I would advise to turn up early. Staff were friendly and camels looked in good condition. The ride was slow - about 25 mins in total but was a great experience and my daughters enjoyed it.

Average, long queue - I arrived at 10am and then was assigned a a lot for 1pm! It would be good to know that you basically enter a queue !! Anyway if you book be there straight for 9am otherwise you wait forever. The good bit is that a beach is nearby and so the wait turned into a spontaneous trip to the dunes , beach and lunch! The camel ride itself was def average ! Super hot ( north of 30 degrees ) so take water ! Wouldn’t book again but was fun for the kids for sure

Animal welfare - We were very sorry the camels were muzzled and had to carry 2 people at once on chairs. Walking around all day to give people rides.... Poor animals. This feels like animal labour. I feel very guilty to have booked this excursion. Never again.
