Go ride the camels! - The camel ride experience was definitely one for the books! The camels were so sweet and the ride is not scary. The guides are always practicing safety.

Family camel ride - There was a tourist guide close to the place so you won't miss the place. Camels are kinda friendly. None spit or get rampage. People very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable Camel Rides in the Dunes - It was a beautiful day, as we made our way to the camel rides. Signage could have been a bit better to let us know how far the walk was from where our bus let us off. We were delighted to find out that it was only a few minutes walk. The camels appeared to be well cared for and all had names. The seats were very secure and the handlers were very good at adding extra weight to balance out the riders. Our ride was to be 30 minutes, but it was actually longer, which was a pleasant surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A highlight of my trip on Grand Canary Island.

Walk through dunes - The boys who accompany during the walk lovely! The very well-kept camels, they treat them very well, they call them by name. I fell in love with the experience 🐪🐪🩷

Camel riding in Maspalomas dunes - Super fun, definitely worth it. It was a great experience. Well organized, easy to book tickets. Didn’t have to wait long as we were early at the meeting place, around 9:30 in the morning.

Kindness of camel keepers - The experience was generally positive, only two notes somewhat negative to mention, one was too long a wait, in my opinion for a somewhat flawed organization and the second that people who in line were in positions behind ours enjoyed the experience earlier than we, ie were allowed to sneak in.But the walk and treatment of the employees wonderful.

Wifes new friends(Camels) - My wife said it was nice so I will take her word for it. I am too fat so I didn't join. I did get to wait in shades.

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.

Interesting experience - Our TUI guide has given us the tip to take bathing suits with us and I want to pass this tip on. We were there about 10.15 am and then after a shorter queue the time is 1.40 pm ! Got it. You can do some shopping and bathing, it was still unpleasantly hot. Even if it's nice. You can also eat or drink to pass the time. The ride itself is quite nice, exciting experience on the camel. The half hour was observed, was rather a few minutes longer. Very exciting with the camels.
