Camel Safari in Nusa Dua: One Hour on White Sand Beach

An hour riding camelback along the quiet white sand of Nusa Dua's southern coast.

A one-hour camel safari on the white sand beach of Nusa Dua's Sawangan coast, followed by a visit to Uluwatu Temple. You ride at a steady pace, either as a couple or with a group forming your own caravan. The full outing runs six hours and includes hotel pickup, an English-speaking driver, temple entry and the return transfer.

The experience

The camel ride itself is the centerpiece: you mount and spend an hour moving along the quiet white sand beach with open sea views of the Sawangan coast. The pace is steady and manageable, built around the camel's natural gait rather than any rush. Couples can ride together on one camel, or groups can form their own caravan. The kind of setup that makes for the desert-like photos people come for. Weight limits apply: two riders per camel at up to 50 kg each, or a single rider up to 110 kg. Anyone heavier than that rides alone on a separate camel or may not be able to participate.

After the beach, the route takes you to Uluwatu Temple, the clifftop Hindu shrine on Bali's southern peninsula. Your English-speaking driver handles the transport and the logistics. Entry to the temple is included. The full outing is six hours from pickup to return, so the camel ride and the temple visit fit into a single afternoon or morning block without eating the whole day.

The activity does not run on the 15th of each month. Riders need at least moderate fitness. The steady pace and the camel's motion are not suitable for anyone with spinal injuries, cardiovascular concerns or pregnancy. Children from age two can participate if they meet the weight requirements.

What's the actual camel riding experience like in terms of pace and comfort?

The camel moves at a steady, natural pace along the beach, not a trot or gallop, but a walking rhythm that most riders find manageable. You're on the camel for the full hour, so comfort matters. The pace is designed to let you take in the white sand and sea views without feeling rushed or jolted.

Can my partner and I ride the same camel, or do we each need our own?

Two riders can share one camel as long as each person weighs no more than 50 kg. If either of you weighs between 50 and 110 kg, you'll each ride a separate camel. Anyone over 110 kg cannot participate in the ride.

How much of the six hours is actually spent on the camel versus traveling and at the temple?

The camel ride itself is one hour. The remaining time covers hotel pickup, the drive to the beach, the ride, the drive to Uluwatu Temple, time at the temple, and the return to your hotel. Your English-speaking driver manages all the transport.

Is Uluwatu Temple included in this booking, or is that an extra cost?

Uluwatu Temple entry is included. Your driver brings you there after the beach ride, and the ticket is covered in the package price.

What happens if I weigh more than the stated limits?

Riders over 50 kg per person on a shared camel must ride alone, up to a maximum of 110 kg per rider. Anyone weighing more than 150 kg cannot participate in the camel safari.

Does this activity run every day?

The camel safari does not operate on the 15th of each month. All other days are available, subject to booking confirmation.
