Camel Ride at the Los Cabos Conservation Center Edit listing

The Camel Ride at the Los Cabos Conservation Center is a 2-hour Cactus Tours experience at Migriño Beach, about 30 minutes north of Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific coast. It pairs a 40-minute camel ride along the sand with a short desert safari, an educational walk through Baja desert flora and a tequila tasting, from $125 per adult and $62.50 per child.

What sets this ride apart is the sanctuary behind it: the camels live at a Wildlife Conservation Center registered as a PIMVS with SEMARNAT, Mexico's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. The herd is part of a rescue and care program — including Choyerito, the first camel born in Los Cabos — and after the ride guests spend time at the sanctuary meeting the animals up close.

Why This Camel Ride Stands Out

SEMARNAT-registered sanctuary — The camels live at a Wildlife Conservation Center registered as a PIMVS (Integrated Management and Conservation Program) with Mexico's environmental ministry.

Rescued, well-socialized camels — The herd is part of a dedicated rescue and care program, and their calm, sociable nature comes from the close bond with the care team.

Beach + desert in one outing — A Pacific-beach camel ride with a desert safari and flora walk on the same ticket, in the Migriño dunes.

Professional photos of your ride — A photographer documents the experience; photos are available for purchase at the end of the tour.

What to Expect

The experience runs roughly two hours at the Migriño park:

1. Arrival at the Cactus Tours park (Carr. Federal 19 Km 100) — round-trip transportation is included.
2. Short guided safari through the Baja California Sur desert to the camel sanctuary.
3. 40-minute camel ride along Migriño Beach with Pacific Ocean views.
4. Sanctuary time: meet and photograph the camels, including Choyerito.
5. Educational walk through the desert flora.
6. Tequila tasting at the on-site museum to close the experience.

When Is the Best Time for a Camel Ride in Cabo?

The tour runs year-round with departures at 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM, 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, plus seasonal 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM slots. Mornings are cooler in summer; from December 15 to April 15 the beach stretch adds a bonus — humpback and gray whales migrate along this coast and can sometimes be spotted from the sand. Bring a sweater in winter.

Who It's For

Worth it for families and first-time visitors who want a wildlife experience with real conservation credentials rather than a quick photo-op ride. Kids from age 5 can ride, and childcare is available for younger children. Skip it if anyone in your group is pregnant, has back or neck problems, or exceeds the 125 kg (275 lb) weight limit.
