Gran Canaria · MASPALOMAS CAMEL RIDES
10 reviewed
Crossing the Maspalomas dunes on a camel is the island’s oldest tourist ritual, and it still works best at sunrise. Here are the rides worth booking: how long you sit up top, whether food or hotel pickup comes with it, and which run the quiet early slots before the sand heats up.

A quick camel ride through Maspalomas dunes from Las Palmas, good for couples and families, with easy logistics and a few heat/queue trade-offs.
“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”
