If you want something different from the Cabo beach, do this camel day. You’ll ride into El Tule canyon, meet gentle, trained camels, and look out toward the Sea of Cortez—then you’ll have time to enjoy the park at Wild Canyon.

I especially like the hands-on animal time: you’ll feed your camel, learn real facts about them, and spend part of the day around rescued animals in the sanctuary. One heads-up: the ticket price does not include the $25 Park Entry Fee, which you pay when you arrive at Wild Canyon.

Key highlights you’ll feel right away

• Gentle camel experience in El Tule canyon with the swaying gait that makes the ride feel surprisingly calm
• Rescued-animal sanctuary time where you interact and learn, not just pose and leave
• Small-group feel (up to 10 travelers), which makes it easier to keep track of kids and timing
• Photo-kit reality check: cameras aren’t allowed during the camel part, so you’ll rely on the provided photo option
• Water-park perks included with park entry: slides, lounging, and pool time for families
• Name-brand guide energy: guides like Miguel, Jose, and Victor are often praised for taking care of kids and keeping the mood relaxed

Camel + water slides: why this combo works

This tour is built for families, but it also makes sense if you’re traveling as a couple and want variety. One part of the day is animals and canyon views. The other part is the stuff kids usually sprint toward: water slides, pools, and games.

The clever bit is that your camel time isn’t just a quick “mount and go.” You get a wildlife sanctuary component, so the experience feels more meaningful than a simple ride. And because Wild Canyon is a full park, your day doesn’t end the moment the ride ends.

Price and logistics: what $110 really buys

The base price is $110 per person for the camel ride + sanctuary experience (about 4 hours). You may be offered pickup, and you’ll use a mobile ticket.

Then comes the one extra cost that matters: when you arrive at Wild Canyon, you must pay a Park Entry Fee (PEF) of $25 USD per person. That fee is important because it includes access to the water park and several activity options, including:

• Water park with waterslides, fountain, lounge chairs, and a pool
• Los Cabos Canyon Bridge for pictures (the park calls out the longest vehicle and pedestrian wooden bridge in the country)
• Non-guided bike rides (mountain or electric bikes) on pump and trail tracks
• Eurobungy (weight restrictions apply)
• Climbing wall (horizontal and vertical)

Also, transportation is a separate topic. Pickup is offered, but the shuttle round-trip from the Tourist Corridor can cost extra—$10 per person for Diamante Zone and Puerto Los Cabos—so ask what applies to your hotel area when you check in.

The 4-hour flow: what your time usually looks like

Your day centers on Wild Canyon Adventures, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. With a maximum group size of 10 travelers, you won’t feel like you’re lost in a crowd.

Here’s the practical rhythm I’d expect you to plan around:

1. Check-in and lockers. Cameras and personal items aren’t allowed on the camel portion of the tour, but the park provides free lockers, so you can still keep your day organized.
2. Food and drinks. You’ll get a smoothie or a tequila shot or daiquiri or margarita, plus cheese quesadillas, chips & salsa, and water stations where you can refill your own bottle.
3. Camel briefing and interaction. You’ll learn quirks about camels and get the “how it works” talk before you ride.
4. Camel ride in El Tule canyon with stops for interaction.
5. Sanctuary time with rescued animals, plus kid-friendly games and activities.
6. Use your park entry time however your group wants, especially if you’re planning on slides and the bridge.

Because the day includes both a structured camel/sanctuary segment and flexible park time (depending on how fast your group moves), it’s worth packing for both “animal time” and “water time.”

El Tule canyon riding: the part you’ll remember most

The main event is riding camels into El Tule canyon. The ride is described as a swaying motion, and in practice, that’s what makes it feel different from a standard tour—your body settles into the rhythm.

You also get stunning views toward the Sea of Cortez from the canyon area. If you’re the kind of traveler who likes real scenery more than constant stopping, this portion hits the sweet spot. The ride may not feel long in the way a full-day excursion does, but it has a strong “moment” factor.

One more detail that matters: camel time includes an up-close greeting. Part of the experience involves riding and interacting closely—there’s even a mention of kissing a friendly camel. Expect this to be playful, not awkward.

Feeding camels and the no-camera rule

If you’re picturing a full-on phone photo shoot during the camel ride, adjust your expectations before you go. Cameras and personal items aren’t allowed on the tour, and you’ll use lockers on site.

In plain terms: you hold on to your camel, you don’t hold a camera. The upside is that you’re not juggling gear while you’re riding, which helps everyone stay safe and comfortable. The downside is you’ll want to plan around the fact that most of the action photos will be through the photo option offered by the park.

There’s also a nice reward structure here. You can interact and feed the camels during the experience, and you may get opportunities for pictures around the camel portion when you’re back off the saddle area. If your travel style depends on constant images, this is the part that needs mental prep.

Sanctuary encounters: rescued animals and downtime for kids

The sanctuary component is where the day gets more than just a ride. You’re meeting rescued animals and learning fun facts about them. This matters because you’re not only buying “a novelty activity.” You’re spending time in a place built for animal care and public education.

This is also where families tend to relax. Kids often get a break from the sun and can focus on games and interaction. Guides are often praised for keeping kids engaged and organized, especially during the handoff moments between activities.

Names that come up for friendly, attentive guidance include Miguel, Jose, and Victor, with Miguel specifically noted for being warm and informative during the sanctuary part. That kind of guide energy makes a big difference when you’re traveling with children.

Water slides, bridge photos, bikes, and the rest of the park

The Park Entry Fee is what turns this into a true all-day playground, even though the camel/sanctuary portion is about 4 hours.

If you pay the $25 PEF, you get access to:

• Waterslides and pool time, plus loungers and a fountain
• Los Cabos Canyon Bridge—go for the photo, because this is one of those “I had to see it” structures
• Bikes (non-guided) on pump and trail tracks, including mountain or electric options
• Eurobungy and climbing wall options, both with restrictions/requirements noted by the park

Two practical notes here:

• The water-park part is the reason you should bring a bathing suit and towel even if your main goal is camels.
• You can’t assume you’ll have the energy to do everything. Pick the essentials your group cares about—slides for kids, bridge photos for everyone, and bikes if your crew likes moving at its own pace.

What’s included: snacks, drinks, and hydration that actually helps

I like that this tour doesn’t leave you guessing about food. Included is:

• A smoothie or tequila shot or daiquiri or margarita (choose based on what fits your plans)
• Cheese quesadillas
• Chips & salsa
• Water stations where you can refill your bottle for free

Bring your own container. Refilling matters in the heat, and it’s also a simple way to reduce how often you buy single-use bottles.

One more smart tip from the way people describe the day: bring a towel and a water bottle even if you’re not planning to swim. There can be dusty road time before you settle into the canyon/park. A towel keeps you from feeling gross, and water keeps your energy up.

What to bring (and what not to bring)

Pack like you’re doing two activities in one: animal time and water time.

Bring:

• Comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes
• Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen
• Bathing suit and towel
• A water bottle or container for refills

Don’t bring:

• Cameras and personal items for the camel portion. Use the free lockers instead.

Also keep these practical rules in mind:

• Minimum age is 4 years
• Maximum weight is 220 lbs / 100 kg
• You won’t be able to participate if you have back, neck, or heart problems, vertigo, or if you’re pregnant

If any of those health items apply, it’s better to skip the camel riding piece rather than push through. The tour isn’t built for “work through discomfort” travel days.

Group size and guide style: why it feels manageable

This runs with a small maximum group size of 10 travelers, and that’s a big deal in a place with kids. You can hear instructions. You don’t feel like you’re constantly waiting for the next step. And guides can spot problems fast—like a child getting restless during a transition.

The tone from guides such as Miguel, Jose, and Victor is repeatedly described as professional and down-to-earth. That shows up most when the group is mixing animal time, sanctuary time, and park time. If you’ve ever done tours where you’re herded like luggage, this one has a more human pace.

Who this tour is best for

This is a strong fit for:

• Families with kids who want a camel experience plus water-park fun
• Travelers who like short, clear activities with a lot of value packaged in
• Anyone who wants a blend of animals, views, and hands-on interaction

If you’re traveling solo or as a couple, it can still be worth it. You’ll just want to plan your priorities: don’t assume you’ll do every park activity, and remember cameras aren’t allowed during camel riding.

Should you book this camel ride + water slides?

Book it if you want a two-part day: canyon camels and a full park option for slides and games. I think the value is strongest when your group includes at least one person who will actually use the water-park access, because the Park Entry Fee unlocks a lot.

Skip it or choose something else if:

• You’re photo-dependent and you hate the idea of the no-camera rule during the camel portion
• You or someone in your group has health limitations like vertigo, heart issues, or pregnancy
• Your group wants a longer, solely-camel-focused outing with no park-style flexibility

If you go in with the right expectations—bring your towel, use the lockers, and plan a little time for slides—this becomes one of those Cabo-area days that feels fun, scenic, and genuinely different.
