Camels are not native to Baja. The herds used for tours are managed operations on the Pacific side near Migriño, and the animals are, by the standards of the industry, reasonably kept — shaded, watered, and worked in short shifts.

The standard product is a package: hotel pickup, a short desert interpretive walk, the camel ride itself along the beach, a tequila and mezcal tasting, and a sit-down Mexican lunch. Total time three to four hours, of which perhaps 30 minutes is on an animal.

It is frequently sold as a combination with ATV riding, which is the better version of the day if you have the stamina for both.

Best based in The Tourist Corridor. Season: Year-round; morning departures only in summer.
