Camel Ride Across the Gran Canaria Sand Dunes
Activity Schedule
Key Highlights
- Do something different on your Gran Canaria vacation!
- Amazing adventure – fun for all the family
- Enjoy a “Sahara moment” without leaving the Canaries
- Stunning views of the awesome Maspalomas Dunes
Overview
The amazing island of Gran Canaria boasts not only true desert but also camels, probably introduced by the Spaniards who conquered the Canaries.
Mount your “ship of the desert” and move at a stately pace across the wild and arid landscape. On the way you can enjoy views of the magnificent Maspalomas dunes – great mountains of golden sand rolling away to the horizon, just like a scene from the “Lawrence of Arabia” movie.
Make sure you take plenty of photos and video footage to record your exciting adventure and convince the doubters at home!
Itinerary
For your exciting Camel Ride Across the Dunes you need to make your own way to Maspalomas Dunes. The Dunes are located between the towns of Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas.
After meeting your camel you will climb into the comfortable seat attached to the saddle, while the animal is lying down. At Maspalomas two people can ride each camel. When the handler gives the word, your camel will rise to its feet, hind legs first.
You will set off across the desert in a caravan like the camel trains of olden days. Your camel walks softly on specially adapted feet. The broad pads act like snowshoes, allowing the animal to walk even in soft, loose sand.
Your 30-minute safari takes you through the stunning desert of southern Gran Canaria with its golden sands dotted with grey-green shrubs. The Maspalomas Dunes are at least 400 hectares in extent, and the central part has been declared a nature reserve.
