About this experience

Camel Riding in Catarman is a guided camel trek along the coastal sands of Catarman, Camiguin Island. Riders mount a trained camel for a paced walk past the island's black-sand shoreline and the distant silhouette of Mount Hibok-Hibok. This activity offers a direct encounter with camels in a setting more typical of Mindanao's beach culture.

What to expect

Each ride lasts approximately 15 minutes, with a handler leading the camel along a fixed beach route.
The activity includes a brief safety briefing and assistance mounting and dismounting the camel.
Riders see the Catarman shoreline, the Bohol Sea, and the volcanic peak of Mount Hibok-Hibok from the camel's height.
Suitable for adults and children over 5 years, with a maximum weight limit of 100 kilograms per rider.
A photo stop is included, where the handler positions the camel for a clear view of the beach and volcano.
