About this experience

Camel Riding in Ischia Ponte is a guided camel trek along the coastal paths of Ischia Ponte, Ischia. The ride starts near the Aragonese Castle and follows a fixed route of approximately 40 minutes. Participants ride single-file on trained camels, with handlers leading each animal throughout the session.

What to expect

The ride lasts 40 minutes and covers a 1.5-kilometre loop from the castle esplanade to the sandy shoreline and back.
Each camel is led by a handler, and a safety briefing on mounting and dismounting is given before the ride begins.
Riders sit on a padded saddle with a front handle, and children aged 6 and over can ride with an adult on a separate camel.
The route passes the Aragonese Castle's western wall and offers direct views of the Castello's cliffside gardens.
The activity includes a short photo stop at the beach, where the handler takes a picture with your own camera or phone.
The trek suits first-time riders and families, as the camels walk at a slow, steady pace on flat, compacted sand.
