Beautiful tour, so worth it - What a beautiful sunset tour! I was picked up by Tracey, directly from my accomodation in Alice Springs, and we drove 15 minutes to the Pyndan Camel Tracks, where we met the team and got ready for the ride. Micky was a lovely tour guide, and she was very helpful with answering any questions we had along the ride about the camels. Thalia was my camel and she was very well behaved. The sunset views were so pretty, and we saw lots of wildlife as well! Once we returned, the camels sat down and we were able to take plenty of pictures with them, and pat them too. We were then provided with our choice of champagne or other drink, snacks, and enjoyed chatting amongst our tour group. The shop was so well decorated and had lots of cool merchandise. We even got a visit from a very excited pigtailed called Brimsky. Highly recommend this tour, and what a way to begin my trip around Alice Springs!

Relaxing Camel Ride amongst beautiful scenery - There was a small group - only 5 camels so 10 people.
Location was gorgeous and camels were adorable.
Very relaxing - Micky picked us up from our resort and Traci took us out on the camels.
Both lovely ladies then had a nice cold glass of wine or beer with nibbles at the end.
Definitely recommend this tour

Loved the camels - We loved the sunset tour and had done it previously a few years ago and wanted to repeat the experience. The 2 young camel handlers were so lovely and friendly and very helpful. The actual camels were quiet and loved a pat being out in the ranges at sunset was very beautiful and special. The drinks and nibbles on our return were great.
This is a tour we would do again.

Camel Trek Alice Springs, one of the most memorable experiences during my stay - I confess that I was a little uncertain how I would enjoy the Alice Springs Camel tour as a ‘first’ experience, but the Camel Tracks team were amazing, with a genuine love for the Camels known by name and each with an interesting history. The easy mounting platform was excellent and my guide, ‘Tracy’ answered all my questions about these amazing creatures, making my ride on ‘Shadow’ enjoyable, comfortable and perfectly safe. The price included the hour long trek and amazing scenery, but also pick up and return from my accomodation making this worth every cent. This was one of the highlights of my stay in Alice Springs and highly recommend Pyndon Camel Tracks in your next visit.
