What you get

    About this experience

    Walk with the donkeys and share their love! Donkey Dreamland, both a Donkey Rescue Centre and a Donkey Sanctuary, is set in acres of beautiful countryside surrounded by rolling hills of meadow grasses and old olive trees. The only sounds are those of the birds in their natural habitat and the donkeys braying. You will find it hard to believe that you are just five minutes drive from the beach and a choice of fantastic bars and restaurants, but that is the case, so you have somewhere to go for an evening meal after your Donkey Dreamland experience.

    A wonderful way to spend a morning!!

    We had a fantastic morning visiting the sanctuary & learning about the work the volunteers do with the rescued donkeys. It is clear that everyone involved with the centre is deeply committed to caring for & rehabilitating these lovely animals. Once we had been given a short lesson on how to safely handle the donkeys we went on a lovely walk through some nearby woodland with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Once back at the sanctuary we were offered drinks & snacks which were most welcome. Ps. There is a lovely selection of organic home made curds, jams & chutneys to purchase (the clementine curd was absolutely fantastic)! We were really touched when Adam offered to drive us back to La Cala after our visit too! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience - we highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about the work the sanctuary does & having the opportunity to spend time with these beautiful animals.

    A place where donkeys can just be donkeys again

    After spending five days in Mijas Pueblo and witnessing the distressing reality of the donkey taxis and carriage horses, visiting this sanctuary was such a refreshing change. It’s clear that every donkey’s wellbeing is truly at the heart of what they do. Please, please don’t ride or use the donkeys or carriage horses - instead, support their safe removal into compassionate, humane environments like this one. The sanctuary is peaceful, welcoming, and allows these beautiful animals to finally live their lives in comfort and peace. 🤍

    A Must Visit for Any Animal Lover

    I've done lots of animal experiences across a few different countries and this is by far the best one I've ever done. My girlfriend and I did the donkey walk and brunch. The walk was brilliant and actually getting to fully interact with the donkeys who are all so loving is such a great experience. They also have some really nice dogs as well that love getting attention from you! The staff are all so nice and the work they do and the passion they have for giving the donkeys the best care possible is amazing. If you're an animal lover you have to visit this sanctuary and help support the amazing work that's happening here, you'll have a brilliant time and be supporting an amazing cause.

    A truly special day at Donkey Dreamland

    My mom and I had such a lovely and unforgettable experience at Donkey Dreamland. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The team was warm, caring, and clearly passionate about giving these beautiful donkeys a safe and happy home. We enjoyed every moment — walking with the donkeys, learning their stories, and just being in the peaceful nature around us. It was both fun and touching, and we left with full hearts and big smiles.

    Great way to support the donkey in Mijas.

    What I love about this excursion is that you can forget about everything and just be with the animals and nature. The lunch with local products was very tasty. The love these people have for the donkeys is amazing. Together with an international little group of people I enjoyed the walk with the donkeys through the campo. It is a great way to spend the morning and it feels good to support the organisation like this. Thank you so much for taking care of the kind donkeys.

    Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.

    How much does Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Malaga is not rushed.

    Is Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love?

    +

    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 Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love?

    +

    Around 5 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 Malaga 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 Malaga and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour the Sanctuary and Walk with the Donkeys and Share their Love 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 Malaga 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 Malaga?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Malaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malaga City Tour 2 Hours Monumental Segway Tour, Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs, Go local for a day!. 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 Malaga?

    +

    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 Malaga?

    +

    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.
