Camel Ride at Sunset in Los Cabos: Beach, Buffet & Tequila

Watch the sun sink into the ocean from the back of a camel on the sand.

A camel ride along the Los Cabos beach at sunset, with a guided nature walk through Baja's cactus-lined trails beforehand. The afternoon includes a Mexican buffet with homemade quesadillas and traditional mole, ice-cold drinks and a tequila tasting by a beachside bonfire as the light fades. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and a bilingual guide leads the whole experience.

The Experience

What makes this different from a standard beach tour is that you're doing the ride yourself — on a camel, moving slowly along the sand while the light changes. Before you mount up, you walk a cactus-lined nature trail with a guide who points out the Baja flora and fauna as you go. Then comes the camel ride itself, the main event, moving at the animal's pace along the beach. The whole outing runs about 3 hours plus the time your hotel pickup takes, so plan for an afternoon commitment.

After the ride, you gather at a beachside setup for the Mexican buffet — homemade quesadillas, salads, pasta, traditional chicken mole and fresh salsas. Drinks and tequila flow while you sit by a bonfire watching the sun drop toward the water. The guide is bilingual (English and Spanish), so language is not a barrier. Vegetarian options exist on the buffet if you need them. Children from age 5 are welcome to ride, though there are weight and fitness limits: the maximum is 265 pounds, and you need at least moderate fitness to handle the camel.

Cameras stay off during the ride itself — a rule the operator enforces to keep the animals calm and the experience uninterrupted. Your hotel pickup happens before the tour starts, so confirm the exact time and location with the operator once you've booked. The ride is not recommended if you have spinal injuries, cardiovascular issues, or if you're pregnant.
