Camel ride tours

Ride on a camel in the Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote.

Tourists love going on camel rides in Lanzarote. It’s surely one of the most iconic images of tourism on the island, and it can be seen on any website, brochure or travel catalogue about this volcanic gem within the Canary archipelago. Indeed, if you are preparing to travel to Lanzarote, of course we will make it easy for you to be the protagonist of that iconic camel ride, surrounded by the volcanoes of Timanfaya.

In fact, within our different guided excursions to Timanfaya National Park, we have included the possibility of going on a camel ride. Of course, riding on their backs allows you to see these landscapes in a different way, from an elevated perspective overlooking the terrain, which transforms everything into a different place. The sensations that this activity provokes are hard to forget, both for the beauty of this territory and for the rhythmic motion of the ride.

Although this activity takes place in the southernmost area of Lanzarote and your hotel is located far away, you don’t need to worry. Our guided excursions that include entrance to Timanfaya National Park and the opportunity to ride a camel also include hotel pick-up in Arrecife, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen.

Our experience, as well as that of people who have already taken part in this activity, tells us that it’s the most fun activity to do with your family or group of friends. Also, it is unforgettable as a romantic trip with your partner.

In any form, the Timanfaya tour or the bus trip along Volcano Road is the ideal complement to these camel rides. It is a unique way to appreciate the scenery, which appears to be totally hostile and yet is strangely beautiful, wild and stark, which provokes admiration and daydreams in equal parts. And of course the wealth of sensations experienced while contemplating Lanzarote’s Mountains of Fire is amplified if you glimpse it from the back of a camel, whose tranquil pace will make you feel like a true adventurer searching for new and unexplored lands.
