The camel train over the dunes is the island’s oldest tourist photograph and still one of its cheapest bookings. These 10 differ on ride length, whether transport and food are included, and which side of the reserve they set off from.

2-hour e-scooter and camel ride through Maspalomas Dunes, La Charca bird lagoon, and Playa del Ingles views.
“We had a wonderful time! Our guide knew a lot about the surrounding! We had a private tour, we’ve seen the dunes, the lighthouse, the boulevard, the botanic garden etc. The chopper is great! Thanx a lot!”
E-bike through Playa del Ingles to Maspalomas Reserve, then a 30-minute camel ride over the dunes, a family-friendly 2-hour adventure.
“We ended up being on a private tour with our guide Lorenzo, so this may be an atypical review. The ebikes provided were useful because the terrain is quite deceptively hilly. We were taken to various parts of the island, and found Lorenzo learned about the local history, and culture as well as many of the botantical aspects of the natural ecosystem. Of the things we did I would see seeing the Dunes of Maspalomas was probably the highlight though we also saw some interesting sculptures. The "camel" ride was fun but a bit dull and lacking any visit to different terrain, so probably more of an experience for kids…”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
