    Camel ride in Mexico

    Interesting to find out about camels. Staff very knowledgeable and nice. Camel ride not worth it. Ten minute walk on beach. The lunch provided was good and tequila tasting. But it was all about up-selling expensive pictures and drone photos following the walk on the beach. Too long a drive from marina. So wouldn't waste the money on it

    Great day except for the overpriced and complete RIP off for pictures

    This was a fun activity for all ages. It was educational not to much time on the camel 20 min. You go for a short ride which is enough. Learn a little about camels, then go for a short walk and learn about Cacti and the desert. Followed by being being herded into a room to pay for overpriced pictures.THIS IS A TOTAL RIP OFF. $42US FOR 1 PIC. HIDE YOUR CAMERA ON YOU AND TAKE YOUR OWN. Lunch was good but not hot.... the flavors were good. It was chicken mole, ribs, rice,quesadillas, various salads, juice and beer, followed by tequila tasting. The activity was great, food was good but the fact they dont want you to take your own camera and then completely over charge for photos leaves you feeling taken advantage of.

    Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.

    How much does Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.

    Is Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Camel Ride & Encounter at Los Cabos start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Desert Off-Road & Beach Horseback Combo and Tequila Tasting, Humpback Whale Watching Tour in Cabo San Lucas, Cabo All-Inclusive Private Beach Club with Open Bar and Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
