About this experience

Camel Riding in Murter Town is a guided camel trekking activity located in Murter Town on the island of Murter, Croatia. The ride takes place along the town's coastal paths and nearby olive groves, offering a view of the Adriatic shoreline from a mounted position. Each session includes a trained handler, a gentle camel, and a safety briefing before departure.

What to expect

Ride duration is 20 minutes per session, with departures every hour from the meeting point near the town harbour.
The route covers 1.5 kilometres of flat, packed-earth trails and a short stretch of beach sand, suitable for first-time riders.
Each rider receives a helmet and a step stool for mounting, and the handler walks alongside the camel throughout the ride.
Children aged 4 and above can ride accompanied by an adult on a second camel, with a combined weight limit of 100 kilograms per camel.
Visitors see the old stone houses of Murter Town, the fishing boats in the marina, and the islet of Veliki Brijun on the horizon during clear weather.
