The Experience

After pickup from your hotel, you arrive at Migriño beach where the operation is based. Check-in includes locker assignment and a bilingual guide who walks through the security protocols before you mount the ATV. The ride itself takes you through the desert trails—climbing and descending as the terrain shifts—until the landscape opens onto the Pacific. You accelerate across the sand to reach the camel sanctuary, where the guide leads the transition from machine to animal.

The camel ride happens on the beach with the ocean behind it. You'll interact with the animals and get what the operator calls a camel kiss, plus facts about them. Once finished, there's time to clean up, review photos from the ride, and drink water while you wait for transport back to your hotel. The whole outing runs three hours from start to return.

What you bring: a valid driver's license (required to operate the ATV) and comfort with the desert heat. The operator provides water, security equipment and the guide in English or Spanish. A park entrance fee of $20 USD per person is separate. Professional photos are available for purchase if you want images beyond what's captured during the ride.

Is this one for you?Three hours is tight if your afternoon is split between other plans, but it leaves room for a beach lunch or a return to your hotel before dinner. If you're looking for a full-day commitment, this runs shorter than most desert tours in the area.
