Camels in the south of Tenerife, a stone's throw from Los Cristianos

In the Canary Islands, the camel rides in the catalogue leave from a family farm in Arona, in the south of Tenerife, that has worked with camels since 1988. It sits right on the main road between Los Cristianos and La Camella, so it slots easily into a day in the south of the island.

The farm opens every day from 10:00 to 15:30, with the last ride at 15:00; in July and August hours extend from 9:00 to 17:00 and the last ride leaves at 16:00. It only closes on 1 January.

A 20-minute outing made for families

The ride lasts 20 minutes and a keeper leads the camel on foot at a slow pace, with no experience needed. Children always ride with an adult, and before getting on you feed the animals with an included plate of fruit.

There are two listings: the 20-minute ride, at 22 € per adult and 11 € per child, and the Premium Pack, at 28 € and 15 €, which adds photos of the ride sent by email and a snack at the end in the park. In both, the price is per person.

How to book

Both are on request: you choose the day and time, the amount is held on your card and the centre confirms within 24 hours; if it can't, nothing is charged. Once confirmed, you receive the QR pass.

It's worth arriving a few minutes before your slot: they work with animals and the order of rides can shift by a few minutes. The exact cancellation deadline is written on each listing before you pay.
