A wonderful experience great staff, picked up and returned to hotel, camels very quiet, over all I would recommend.
Great time riding the camels through the desert, easy pickup and went well. Would have loved to do the sunset tour but it didn't work with my schedule.
We absolutely loved this camel ride ! My mother was a bit afraid before doing it, so we told the camelers who gave us a quiet camel, Sally. Mum does not regret doing the ride and is not afraid anymore ! Camels go through the landscape, MacDonnell Ranges are in the close background : great views ! Amazing experience to be on the back of a camel as part of a caravan. The lady who led camels was very kind and stopped to take pictures of us on top of camels as well as group photos. We loved Sally and the other camels. Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel were also very appreciated. An experience we recommend to immerse yourself in the desert at a local animal's pace ! Type of visit : family (adults)
I did the Sunset Ride , was awesome
This was one of the best things we've done in Australia. We did a sunset camel tour and saw a lot of wallabies while out on the camels. The views of the red desert and mcdonnell ranges is jaw dropping. The ranch has a hilarious talking parrot who says hello to you every time you walk past.
I forgot to review this one as well, apparently. But our sunset camel ride was a total blast -- definitely a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our stay in Alice Springs.
Bus comes and picks you up from your accomodation. You are driven to the camel farm and one by one helped onto a camel. We travelled through the fields at sunset and enjoyed our ride. Possibly one thing that could be added is a cup of coffee/tea at the end of the night. I would definitely recommend doing the camel ride they are very well train and something different to do on your tour.
We really enjoyed this camel ride in the Aussie Outback. The staff was very friendly as well which made for an excellent experience. I must say that I was nervous but the owner alleviated all anxieties with the camels.
Great tour, informative and fun. Sunset was the best.
