Not worth it

Steph_O, Jul 2025
We arrived at 09:30 and queued for an hour to get to the front of the queue only then to be told we had to wait another hour for our ride. When the ride finally came, the 'guide' leading the camels spent the entire time on his phone whilst we were walked at an unbearably slow pace. It would have been much better to have had some information about the camels and the dunes. The staff were friendly and facilities clean. Whilst the camels do seem well cared for, they are wearing metal muzzles which dont look great at all. Overall I would say this is not at all worth it.

Really good

The camels are really nice and the staff friendly! Our Camel was called Daniel. We ordered a photo which was only 5euro

Would recommend this experience for all the family.

All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The camels did really well to make the journey smooth even though my son was nervous.

Ok experience

Address is not correct.It should be shorter riding time.It became boring after a few minutes. A new experience for us

Great experience

Martin_D, Dec 2022
Great experience. Would have been even better if the camels were equipped with proper harnesses as would any horse. Instead, they had handmade rope harnesses and metal muzzles. It seemed uncomfortable for the camels.

Amazing camel experience

Très sympathique balade, personnel top également ! Je recommande cette expérience sans problème !!!!!

Sehr schön, aber bessere Organisation.

Andrea_F, Feb 2025
Vorher online buchen ist günstiger, damit man nicht unverrichteter Dinge wieder gehen muss. Leider mussten wir trotzdem noch 1,5 Stunden warten, bevor wir dran kamen. Buchung mit Zeitangabe ist zu empfehlen. Der Kamelritt durch die Dünen war wunderschön und entspannend.

Recomendamos ir en cuanto...

Beatriz_B, Aug 2024
Recomendamos ir en cuanto abren a las 9:00, nosotros fuimos a las 10:30 y hasta las 13:30 no nos tocó.

La experiencia es muy...

Abel_S, Jul 2024
La experiencia es muy bonita pero hacia muchisima muchisima muchisima calor. Quizas tendrian que hacer esta actividad mas de cara a la tarde cuando ha bajado un poco el sol

Da fare se non l'hai mai fatto

Margerita_c, Apr 2024
Davvero divertente, i cammelli hanno due seggioline per portare comodamente le persone. Giretto tra le dune meraviglioso

Børnevenlig aktivitet

Jane_L, Jan 2024
Stille og rolig aktivitet. Venligt personale. Rolige kameler. Passende længde for turen. Lidt langt ude.

Una mañana muy agradable

Agnieszka_M, Jul 2023
Un paseo muy agradable, los camellos bien cuidados. Para los niños súper divertido, se aprenden hasta los nombres de los camellos.

Het telefonisch contact om ons te helpen inschrijven verliep vlot. De afspraken waren correct en de uitstap een mooie ervaring voor onze vrienden. Vriendelijk onthaal + begeleiding bij de kamelentocht.

Maltrato animal

Rben_C, Aug 2022
O passeio foi razoavel, Basicamente foi uma volta rápida pelas dunas. Contudo os camelos parecem maltratados porque têm diferentes marcas e cortes nas pernas, e o equipamento que levavam parecia ser nocivo à sua saúde, com açaimes feitos de metal que se espetavam no nariz dos animais! Não voltaria a reservar pelo que vi em relação aos animais

Una forma diferente de pasar una mañana de vacaciones

Carla_M, Feb 2022
Ha sido una experiencia muy bonita y una buena forma de ver otra parte de la isla. Recomendable ponerse protector solar.

Experiencia maravillosa

Estela_L, Jul 2021
Fue una experiencia totalmente recomendable. El paisaje fue espectacular por las dunas. Los camellos estaban en buen estado y el personal fue muy agradable, tanto con todos nosotros como con los animales. Quizás diría que se hace corto 30 min pero por el precio es idóneo. Aunque alargaron la actividad unos minutos más 😊
