Can My 3- or 4-Year-Old Do a Camel Ride in Cabo?

Yes, 4-year-olds can do the camel ride in Cabo. They pay the child rate, and participation remains subject to the team’s on-site safety assessment. For a 3-year-old, the answer is more cautious: there is no charge, but riding cannot be guaranteed. Their physical condition and the team’s assessment determine whether they can ride.

If you are planning a family visit to Camel Riding in Cabo in Los Cabos, send us your child’s age, height and weight before confirming your booking. This helps us review your specific situation instead of relying on an age label alone.

Age 3 vs age 4: what families need to know

• Age 3: no charge, but no promise of riding. Contact the team before booking and explain your child’s physical condition and any concerns.
• Age 4: children can participate and pay the child rate. The team still assesses safety on site.
• For both ages: share the child’s age on the activity date, height and weight in advance. Advance coordination does not replace the on-site assessment.

The distinction matters when you are budgeting and planning expectations. “Free” describes the price for a 3-year-old; it does not confirm that the child will be allowed to ride. Likewise, paying a child rate does not remove the team’s responsibility to assess safety.

What to send before you book

Use the WhatsApp contact on our Cabo camel ride page. A useful message is:

“We would like to book a camel ride on [date]. Our child will be [age] years old, is approximately [height in cm or inches] tall and weighs [weight in kg or lb]. We are staying at [hotel or area in Los Cabos]. Could you review our case before we confirm?”

Include the number of adults and children, and list each child’s age separately. Mention anything relevant to your child’s comfort or physical condition. If your child will have a birthday before the tour, provide their age on the day of the activity.

Prepare your child without promising a ride

Explain that you will meet the team first and follow their instructions. For a 3-year-old especially, avoid making the ride itself a promise before the safety assessment. You can describe the visit and show pictures while making clear that the team decides whether riding is appropriate.

For a 4-year-old, explain that participation is possible but that listening to the guide is part of the experience. If your child seems worried or uncomfortable on arrival, tell the team rather than encouraging them to push through. Ask the staff about seating and assistance for your particular child; a photo of another family is not a guarantee of the same arrangement.

Check the family price and your Los Cabos logistics

Review the Cabo camel ride price page and confirm the total for your actual family composition. Include your 3-year-old when discussing the booking even though there is no charge; the team needs to know who is coming.

Also share whether you are staying in Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo or the Tourist Corridor. Ask the team to confirm the meeting arrangements and timing for your accommodation before planning the rest of the day. Leave room around meals and naps, and avoid treating the activity start time as your entire outing.
