Camel Ride Tour in Los Cabos

The unusual part of this Cabo outing is right there in the name: you get close to a camel, feed it, then ride with the ocean as your backdrop. The roughly two-hour tour combines beach time with a trip through Baja’s desert terrain, so you get more than a quick photo stop.

I like two things in particular: the small group cap of 10, which should help keep the pace relaxed, and the bundle of camel ride, tequila tasting, and meal for $76. A guide named Alejandra has been praised for bringing an outgoing, personal touch to the outing.

One cost to plan for is the $25-per-person entrance fee, which is not included in the advertised price. That brings the known cost to $101 per person before any souvenir photos, and the exact amount of time spent riding is not specified.

At a glance

• A camel encounter, not just a ride: You can feed the animals and spend time close to them before setting out.
• Beach and desert terrain: The ride pairs a coastal view with Baja’s dry interior.
• Guided nature context: A camel handler and bilingual guide introduce local plants, wildlife, and desert conditions.
• Food and tasting included: Expect a tequila tasting and a meal with beef, pork, chicken, soft drinks, and water.
• Small group: The maximum is 10 participants.
• Add the entrance fee: Budget $101 per person before optional photos.

Meeting the camels at G-Force Adventures

The outing begins at G-Force Adventures, on Carretera Cabo San Lucas, Av. La Paz Km. 106. With hotel pickup available at most hotels and villas in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, you may not need to make your own way to the meeting point. Add your hotel name when arranging transport so the operator can coordinate the pickup.

Once there, expect to meet the animals and their handler. The experience includes a chance to feed a camel and get close before the ride. That contact is part of the appeal: if you have never been near a camel, you can take a moment to get comfortable before climbing on.

A camel handler and bilingual guide are included. The guide’s role is not only to lead the activity but also to share information about Baja’s wildlife and plant life. English is offered, which is useful if you want explanations as you go rather than only a scenic ride.

The maximum group size is 10. That is a modest cap for an outdoor activity, and it can mean more room for questions or a little reassurance if you feel unsure. One guide, Alejandra, has been praised for being fun and outgoing. Your specific guide may differ, but attentive, considerate help matters most if this is your first time riding an animal.

From desert trail to the beach

The ride is described as a desert safari followed by a camel ride along the beach. The contrast is the main draw: dry Baja terrain on one side of the outing, the ocean as a backdrop on the other. It gives the activity more variety than a short loop in a single setting.

The precise route and riding time are not specified, so I would not book this expecting a long-distance trek or a fixed amount of time on the beach. Think of it as a guided outing that combines a camel encounter, desert travel, and a coastal ride within an approximately two-hour activity.

The pace is meant to be relaxed, and the small group limit supports that. Still, you are riding a large animal, so it is sensible to tell the handler if you feel nervous and listen closely to their instructions. One account of the experience praises a leader for being considerate of a rider’s nerves and helping them feel safe. That kind of attention can make the difference between an enjoyable ride and one that feels too much too soon.

The ride is the central experience, but the setting and the guide’s explanations add context. You will hear about the region’s plants and wildlife, though no particular species or natural-history stops are specified. If you want a specialist wildlife tour, this may not be the right fit. If you want a short ride with some local context, it should suit you better.

The tequila tasting and meal add value

The tasting and food make the price easier to assess. A tequila tasting is included, along with a meal described as a SUPER BURRO with beef, pork, and chicken, plus soft drinks and water. The exact serving format and menu choices are not specified, so do not assume there are substitutions or a full restaurant-style menu.

For many visitors, this is a useful break after the ride and a chance to round out the outing without arranging another meal nearby. The tasting is a fun extra, but it is still alcohol. The activity is not recommended for anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, so keep that in mind before you arrive.

A Kids Club is also listed as included. The details of its activities or supervision are not provided, so families should check with the operator if they need to know how it works before booking. The activity notes that most people can participate, but they do not provide age limits or other specific participation rules.

What $76 really buys

The listed price is $76 per person, but the entrance fee is an additional $25 per person. Your known starting total is therefore $101 per person, before optional souvenir photos. Hotel pickup and drop-off, the guide and camel handler, the ride, tequila tasting, and meal are included.

That can be fair value if you want the whole package: animal encounter, guided outing, transport, food, and tasting. If you only want a camel ride, the meal and tasting may matter less to you, and the entrance fee makes the final price higher than the headline figure suggests. Compare the total, not just the $76.

Souvenir photos are available for purchase but are not included. If photos matter to you, factor in that extra cost, though no price is provided. You can also bring your own phone, but the information does not specify when or where personal photos are allowed, so follow the guide’s directions around the animals.

The activity is recommended by 90% of participants and has a 4.5 rating from 10 reviews. That is encouraging, but it is a small pool of feedback rather than a large body of ratings. The strongest recurring points are the scenery, friendly guidance, and the personal attention given to nervous riders. One person also found their mount smaller than expected, a reminder that the animals may vary in size.

Pickup, timing, and practical details

The activity starts and ends at G-Force Adventures. Pickup is offered at most hotels and villas in both Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, but you need to provide your hotel name to arrange it. Confirm your pickup details ahead of time, especially if you are staying in a villa or outside the main hotel areas.

The ride itself lasts about two hours. The time needed for hotel pickup and return is not stated, so leave extra room in your day rather than planning a tight connection immediately afterward. The tour is offered in English, and the guide is described as bilingual.

Bookings are made, on average, 29 days ahead. That is a useful planning signal, not a promise that the tour will sell out or that you must book that early. If your Cabo dates are fixed, check availability before building the rest of your schedule around it.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes within that same period are not accepted. The cutoff uses local time, so check the start time carefully when making plans.

Should you book this camel ride?

I would consider this outing if you want an animal encounter with a beach setting, a small group, and several extras already included. The ride, desert safari, local nature guidance, tequila tasting, meal, and pickup make it a fuller half-day-style plan, though the activity itself is about two hours.

It is a particularly good match if you are curious about camels, comfortable with a guided ride, and happy to pay the entrance fee on top of the advertised price. Families may appreciate that a Kids Club is listed, but should ask the provider what that includes before relying on it.

I would look elsewhere if your priority is a long ride, a detailed wildlife tour, or a low-cost activity with no extra fees. For everyone else, budget $101 per person plus any photos, share your pickup location, and tell the handler if you feel nervous. Those small steps help set you up for a relaxed outing.
