About this experience

Camel Riding in Iboih is a guided camel trek along the sandy coastline of Iboih village on Weh Island, Sabang. Riders mount a single-humped camel and follow a fixed route past fishing boats and coconut palms. The activity operates from a beachside stable near the Iboih jetty, with sessions running daily from 8:00 to 17:00.

What to expect

Each ride lasts 15 minutes and covers a 500-metre stretch of beach, with a handler walking beside the camel at all times.
The package includes a camel saddle, a safety helmet, and a short pre-ride briefing on mounting and dismounting.
Riders see the Iboih fishing harbour, the coral reef line at the water's edge, and the hills of Weh Island in the background.
The activity suits first-time riders and children aged 5 and above; weight limit is 100 kg per rider.
A photo stop is included at the halfway point, where the handler takes a picture with your own camera or phone.
The ride ends at the same stable, where you can watch the camels being fed and watered before leaving.
