Ride a camel along Cabo San Lucas’s Pacific edge for a slow, coastal safari that pairs low cliffs and tide pools with close-up time with trained camels. This accessible, guided outing combines seaside views, local natural history, and easygoing animal interaction.

The sand smells of salt and warm rock as a slow, deliberate shadow—the camel—drops you into a Pacific-side rhythm. You climb into a padded saddle, the animal shifts, and the coastline unfurls: low cliffs, scattering tide pools, and the steady push of surf daring you to look over the edge.

Wildlife
History
Camels in Baja are an introduced element of modern tourist culture rather than a native species; operators often trace the idea to late-20th-century attractions that mixed novelty with local coastal tours.
Conservation
Stick to designated paths, don’t feed wildlife, and choose operators that limit group size and provide rest and shade for camels to reduce stress and habitat impact.
Reserve your spot on the Discover Cabo San Lucas by camel ride today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Protect yourself from the sun
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat—the Pacific sun is strong and shade is limited on the route.
Hydration is critical
Carry a reusable water bottle even though bottled water is provided; drink before and after the ride to avoid heat fatigue.
Mind pre-existing conditions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or serious heart problems—notify the operator of any medical concerns before booking.
Wear stable footwear
Closed-toe shoes with good grip make mounting and dismounting easier and protect feet when walking around the stable and park.
