Awesome camel ride! - Really fun and reasonable price, such an amazing experience. Was picked up from our hotel and dropped off where the camels were on the beach, handed traditional clothes to put on and started our tour straightaway. It was more comfortable than expected and the guide was great and took photos. Afterwards we were dropped back at our hotel. Definitely recommend!

A wonderful experience, perfect execution and animals that are really doing well :-) - What a wonderful experience!! Everything worked out perfectly and I am more than satisfied all round. We had previously contacted each other via WhatsApp, we agreed on a meeting point after the Medina, where I was even picked up by car, even more than punctually, and taken to the beach with the camels. There I was dressed in indigo blue Tuareg clothing and even received a typical blue turban. After I was allowed to say hello to my camel, we set off and rode for an hour along the beach, in the dunes, past a small freshwater spring where the seagulls were resting. On the way back I was allowed to feed my camel with plants on the beach and we rode back comfortably. They kept asking me if I was feeling well and if everything was pleasant. I also got a small bottle of water for the ride and in between, very professional photos and videos were taken of me in beautiful places, which I am now very happy about. At the end we took all the time I needed to pet the camel and thank him for this wonderful experience. The animals seem to be doing really well! The owner has a total of 10 camels that work a maximum of 4 hours a day and spend the night running freely in his forest outside the city. All in all, I felt good about this experience and can recommend it to anyone who is in Essaouira. Luckily, the booking was also very spontaneous: I booked on the morning of the same day, and by 4 p.m. I was sitting on the dromedary Chewbaka :) (Even earlier slots for the private ride would have been free when I booked.) Thank you very much for everything!

Serene experience with a trustworthy company - An amazing, once in a lifetime experience. The route we walked was stunning - very serene and peaceful. The tour was so easy to book and the operator was very responsive. Our guide was pleasant, friendly, and welcoming. He was wonderful in taking photos and videos of us throughout the trip so we could just sit back and relax and take in the experience in the moment. We appreciated the clothing they provided as well to protect us from the sea breeze while riding. Don’t hesitate to book with this operator! They are local to the area and truly care for the animals as well as their guests.

Magical experience on a camel at sunset - Incredible experience from start to finish! Communication was quick and easy and the pick-up and drop-off was seamless. We were provided with authentic attire which really made the camel trip come to life, especially in photos. We went right at sunset and had amazing photos taken and truly enjoyed a magical experience. Our tour guide was friendly and was making sure we were happy the whole time. Highly recommend!!!

Great 1 hour trip at the beach - Amazing trip! Had an entire hour by ourselves with a camel convoy. The camels were well behaved, looked healthy, well-tended to, and most of them were talkative. The camel behind me walked right next to me and loved getting scratches during our ride. We got a lot of great photos of us and the camels during sunset by our guide, Iman (as I recall his name).
