Camel rides on Cabo’s Pacific beach with tequila tasting and lunch

You’ll ride camels along Cabo’s wild Pacific shore with a local guide, feed and pet them up close, then taste tequila before digging into a hearty lunch. Expect laughter, ocean breeze, maybe some nerves—and memories that stick long after you brush off the sand.

The Experience

The first thing I noticed when we got to the beach in Los Cabos was the smell—somewhere between warm sand and something earthy (the camels, I guess). Our guide, Luis, handed out little handfuls of food for the camels and showed us how to hold our palms flat so they wouldn’t nibble our fingers. I tried saying “hola” to my camel—her name was Lola—and Luis just grinned. He said she likes soft voices. The ocean was right there, all blue-grey and loud, but somehow Lola seemed totally unfazed by it.

We climbed up onto the saddles (way higher than I thought!) and started down the beach. It’s kind of a slow, swaying ride—honestly, you feel every step—but it was weirdly relaxing once I stopped worrying about falling off. The wind kept blowing salty spray in my face. At one point, a kid in our group tried to feed his camel a tortilla chip from lunch (don’t do that) and everyone laughed, even the handlers. There’s something about being up there with these animals that makes you feel like you’re part of some old story or movie. The main keyword here is definitely “beach camel ride Cabo”—it’s not something you’d expect to do in Mexico.

Afterwards we got to pet the camels again—Lola’s fur felt rougher than I expected—and then there was a quick tequila tasting session. Not gonna lie, I’m still not sure if I liked the smoky one or if it just burned less than the others. Lunch was this huge super burro with beef and chicken; messy but good after all that fresh air. There was a lot of joking around at the table about who looked most terrified on their camel (I think I won). When we left, Luis waved us off with a big smile and said next time we should try riding two at once—pretty sure he was kidding.

What’s included

Your day includes round-trip transportation from your hotel or meeting point in Cabo San Lucas or San José del Cabo, guidance from experienced bilingual camel handlers throughout your 30-minute beach camel ride experience (with plenty of time for petting and feeding), an exhilarating desert safari ride through Baja landscapes, a full lunch featuring beef, pork & chicken super burros plus soft drinks and water—and wraps up with a casual tequila tasting before heading back home sandy but happy.
