Overview

Experience the desert and culture during your Gran Canaria hoiday with the Gran Canaria Camel Ride and Culture Excursion. 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 camel and take of a journey across the soft, loose sand. The area of Arteara is covered by malparis – most recent lava flows, which formed thousands of tube like structures in this territory.

Itinerary

Feel like Lawrence of Arabia as you ride on the back of a swaying camel through the magnificent Maspalomas Sand Dunes, a protected nature reserve and one of the must-see attractions on the Canary Islands.

A trek through this stunning natural environment that can only be entered on foot or by camel is an absolute must for anybody passing through Gran Canaria. The Dunes are the habitat of many plants, some of which are unique to the Canary Islands and you’ll be amazed by how they manage to survive in such an arid, hostile environment together with lizards and rabbits.

Ride a camel through the Maspalomas Nature Reserve and observe nature in its rawest and most authentic state. You’ll get uninterrupted views over the Dunes and you’ll see the soft ripples in the sand as these gentle giants gracefully tread along the ground. A camel ride through the desert is a highlight for any visitor to the island and is a great adventure for all the family.
