Adventure brief
Twenty Minutes on a Camel, Then the Quiet of a Canary Islands Farm
Set in the sun-baked landscapes of southern Tenerife, this guided offering pairs a brief camel trek with an easygoing farm visit, giving families a focused nature experience without a full-day commitment.
Set against the rugged, sun-drenched terrain of southern Tenerife, Camel Park offers an inviting blend of hands-on farm life and an unusual mode of transportation: the camel. This experience starts with a 20-minute trek atop these gentle giants, winding through volcanic landscapes dotted with endemic flora typical of the Canary Islands, including euphorbias and rugged succulents. The camels’ slow, steady gait allows riders to immerse in the unique textures and smells of the island’s southern coast while taking in panoramic views of arid hills and dramatic cliffs that fringe the Atlantic Ocean.
Following the ride, guests are welcomed to explore a well-kept farm that showcases traditional Canary Island agriculture. Seasonal fruits are fed to the animals, creating a lively, interactive atmosphere that appeals especially to families with children. This hands-on component offers an educational glimpse into sustainable farming practices adapted to the island’s challenging conditions, providing context to the natural environment exhibited on the ride.
Camel Park stands apart in Tenerife’s outdoor activity scene by providing a low-impact, family-friendly adventure that is accessible to all ages, including young children accompanied by adults. This combination of wildlife interaction and scenic riding is rare on the island and makes Camel Park a great destination for travelers seeking authentic, nature-based recreation without the physical demands of hiking or climbing volcanic peaks nearby.
Located in Arona, the park taps into the island’s rich heritage of agriculture and animal husbandry while embracing eco-conscious tourism. With well-cared-for camels and a clean, welcoming farm setting, Camel Park enriches Tenerife’s outdoor offerings and contributes to preserving local biodiversity and environmental awareness. For families and casual adventurers alike, this experience offers a memorable way to engage with the Canary Islands’ diverse landscapes and animal life.
