Camel Ride Cabo: Ride, Feed & Kiss a Camel

The camel ride in Cabo San Lucas at Wild Canyon is a gentle, guided camel safari through the Baja canyon. You meet the herd, ride on a serape-draped saddle with up to two riders per camel, then pet, feed, and kiss them. The ride also includes a guided animal sanctuary visit and lunch, all inside one park.

You can ride a camel at Wild Canyon, on the Tourist Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. The camel ride runs inside the park, so there is no long transfer out to a remote ranch: you ride the canyon and stay for the animal sanctuary, lunch, and Wagoona Aqua Park on the same ticket.

The Wild Canyon camel ride is in the Baja canyon, not on the beach. We keep the route off the sand on purpose: beach salt irritates a camel's sensitive skin, so a canyon ride is healthier for the animals while still being scenic for you.

The guided camel ride itself is a relaxed loop through the canyon. Because your ticket also covers the animal sanctuary, lunch, Wagoona Aqua Park, and the hanging bridges, most guests plan a half day or more at Wild Canyon to enjoy everything included with the camel ride.

On the camel safari you meet the herd, climb into the saddle, and ride the Baja canyon at the camel's slow, rocking gait. Back on the ground you get hands-on time to pet, feed, and kiss a camel, then walk the animal sanctuary and have lunch at the Lion's Den.

Yes. While camels are not native to Mexico, Wild Canyon keeps a herd of friendly camels in Cabo San Lucas for its camel ride. They live at the park year-round and are cared for by a dedicated team.

The camels are well cared for by a dedicated team and are central to the experience. We ride the canyon rather than the beach so there is no salt to irritate their sensitive skin, and guides set the pace and may pause or end a ride for the animals' wellbeing.

Yes. Every Wild Canyon camel ride starts with a safety briefing, and trained guides lead the herd and stay with you the whole way. Camels have a smooth, steady gait, which makes the ride safe and comfortable for guests of all ages who meet the requirements.

One camel carries up to 220 lb (100 kg) total, with a maximum of two riders per camel. Guests are paired to stay within that limit. See the full physical requirements before you book.

Most camel rides in Cabo San Lucas drive you out to a remote ranch for a single activity. The Wild Canyon camel ride is one part of a full day in one park: a calm canyon ride that protects the camels, real interaction, a rescued-animal animal sanctuary, lunch, and a whole adventure park, with no long transfer.
