CHOOSE YELLOW

Our camels have been walking on cable beach since 1992..

Our camels were part of the ORIGINAL operators of Camel Tours in Broome, and played an integral part in putting this ICONIC tour on Cable Beach on the map in the late 90’s.

CAble Beach CAmels

Why choose yellow, part of putting broome on the map.

Our camels were part of the original tour operators of Camel Tours in Broome on Cable Beach. We helped Broome gain international popularity with camel riding on Cable Beach to be known as one of the icons of Broome.  With us, you can take a camel tour on Cable Beach with some of the original guided camels. Choose yellow for the best camel tour in Broome.

Our camels have Over 25 years of Camel Tourism experience!

Whether it be local or overseas tourism projects, breeding or racing, the animals are carefully selected according to their temperament, body type and age and are trained to suit their purpose.  With our knowledge and love of these remarkable animals your camel tour on magnificent Cable Beach will be one to be remembered.

Bring your own camera and we will take photos for you.

Our camels are an interesting mix of colours because they have come from four different regions. As a result, they are all quite different looking from each other in colour and physical characteristics. 

This interesting variety of colours stands out in contrast against their gold saddle blankets with black saddles and halters. Through the camera lens, especially at Sunset they are extremely photogenic.

Tour Location

Where to meet..

We meet on the 4WD access beach.

Walk past sunset bar onto the beach, turn right, walk past the rocks, then continue walking 300 meters up the beach until you see the yellow truck. We are the 3rd set of camels and we are dressed in YELLOW.

Cable Beach Camel Tours

Camel rides on cable beach in broome, frequently asked questions, how do i get on and off the camel.

As part of our commitment and compliance to safe work practices, our policy is to give careful safety instructions to all patrons prior to commencement of our tour.  For example you will be shown the correct manner of mounting and dismounting the camel prior to being seated – we have people to assist you. Our ramp not only makes it easier for you to climb onboard, it is also easier for the camels. 

Why is there a weight limit of 90kgs per person?

Camels, whilst powerful animals, work most days on the beach.  As part of our commitment to the ongoing optimal health and safety of our animals we have introduced the weight limit of 90kg per person.  This limit is well within their lifting capacity, thus keeping their backs strain free, comfortable and happy; as a result we are very strict on this weight limit and we thank you in advance for your appreciation of our caring for our animals.

What time does my tour begin?

Do camels spit.

As a rule camels generally do not spit.  Generally this would only occur if antagonised, or feeling some degree of discomfort or stress.  Some camels make a noise when they begin to stand up from the kneeling position due to the exertion of lifting; if chewing their cud at this time some contents may fall out of their mouth (they sometimes ‘talk with their mouth full’ when they get up).

Do camels carry water in their hump?

No they do not.  The hump is usually full of fat; whilst there is a bit of fluid mixed within the fat, the size of a camel’s hump is a reflection of the camel’s condition – the bigger the hump the fatter the camel.

Where do I meet?

Our friendly camels, unique camels.

Our camels are an interesting mix because they have come from four different regions. As a result they are all quite different looking from each other in colour and physical characteristics. Some are a typical camel colour resembling a Dunn or fawn colour, others a very dark grey, while others are a very dark chocolate to almost black. 

Easy to get on

Start your camel tour on Cable Beach the easy way! Getting on board our camels could not be easier.  Our ramp not only makes it easier for you to climb onboard it is also easier for the camels.

2. Red Sun Camels – Magical Morning Tour

⭐️ Star Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars | ⏰ Tour Start Time: 7:30am-8:20am |⏳ Tour Length: 40 mins

The Morning Camel Tour by Red Sun Camels is an excellent alternative to the popular sunset tours. This tour offers a different perspective of the stunning Cable Beach , allowing you to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the morning hours.

Red Sun Camels has been operating since 1991 and has grown from a humble beginning with just six camels to owning more than forty camels today. The company, under the stewardship of John and Janet Geappen, has earned the distinction of being Broome’s only award-winning camel tour and was the first to gain National Tourism Accreditation.

The Morning Camel Tour is a serene experience that lets you witness the awakening of Broome’s coastal wildlife and the soft morning light illuminating the pristine beach. It’s a peaceful and less crowded alternative to the often fully-booked sunset tours, giving you a more intimate experience with these magnificent creatures.

In 2012, Red Sun Camels were awarded Australia’s North West Tourism ‘Best Land Based Tourism Operator’, a testament to their high-quality service and commitment to providing unforgettable experiences for their guests.

The Morning Camel Tour by Red Sun Camels is a fantastic alternative to the popular sunset tours. It offers a unique, peaceful, and educational experience that allows you to enjoy the beauty of Cable Beach in the tranquil morning hours.

3. Sundownder Camel Tours

Discover a unique perspective of Broome’s Cable Beach with the Pre-Sunset Camel Tour by Sundowner Camel Tours.

Sundowner Camel Tours is easily identifiable by its distinctive yellow saddle mats with red trimming.

The venture is led by Steve Madden, a pioneer in the camel tour industry in Broome. Steve was one of the first camel tour operators on Cable Beach back in the ’90s, and his passion for these remarkable creatures is palpable. He and his team are eager to share their wealth of knowledge about the character, physiology, and nature of camels, turning your tour into an engaging and enlightening journey.

The Pre-Sunset Camel Tour is a 30-minute adventure along the iconic Cable Beach. As you ride atop the friendly camels, comfortably seated on soft saddles, you’ll be treated to stunning views towards Gantheume Point.

The timing of the tour is perfect for those who wish to avoid the crowds that typically gather for the sunset, offering a more tranquil and intimate experience.

At the end of the ride, you’re treated to a complimentary drink of your choice – beer, wine, or water, a perfect way to round off the experience.

Camels in Broome: Information and Facts

When it comes to iconic Australian fauna, the kangaroo, koala, or wombat might spring to mind first. However, one of the country’s most fascinating creatures originally hails from faraway lands, the camel.

In the sun-soaked town of Broome, camels have become an integral part of the landscape, offering locals and tourists alike a unique way to explore the stunning coastline. But why are there camels in Broome and what’s special about these creatures?

🐪 Camels in Australia are primarily of two types: the one-humped Dromedary Camels and the two-humped Bactrian Camels. The camels that roam the sands of Broome are Dromedaries. Easily identifiable by their single hump, Dromedaries are known for their incredible adaptability to arid conditions.

🐪 Their distinctive hump, contrary to common belief, doesn’t store water. Instead, it’s a reservoir of fatty tissue, providing energy when food sources are scarce. The hump also serves another crucial purpose – it helps to insulate the rest of the body from heat, allowing the camel to stay cool in hot climates.

🐪 One of the unique characteristics of camels is their gait, a result of their legs’ unusual motion. Unlike most four-legged animals, camels move both legs on one side of their body at the same time, creating a swaying motion that’s earned them the nickname “ships of the desert”.

Why are there camels in Broome, Western Australia?

In the 19th century, camels were transported from India and Afghanistan to Australia to assist with transport and labour. The responsibility of tending these camels fell to Muslim cameleers, who were brought over specifically for this purpose.

They played a vital role in servicing the South Australian outback and eventually started their own businesses, importing and managing camel caravans. Historians estimate that during this period, around 15,000 camels found their way to Australia. The camel handlers, commonly referred to as Afghans or Ghans, also left their mark, lending their nickname to Australia’s famous train, The Ghan.

With the advent of motorised vehicles, camels’ roles significantly diminished, leading to many being released into the wilderness. In these untamed lands, camels flourished, and today, Australia is home to the largest population of wild camels in the world.

However, this population surge hasn’t come without issues. In remote communities, camels wreak havoc by damaging fences, pipes and draining waterholes. Between 2009 and 2013, the Australian government initiated a culling program, resulting in the loss of about 160,000 camels.

Interestingly, the camel ride businesses in Broome can be viewed as a lifeline for these camels. I personally hold reservations towards animal tourism that leads to the animals’ suffering. Yet, these camels are well-cared for – they are well-fed, properly hydrated, carry weight within limits, and work only a couple of times per day.

So, one could argue that these businesses are in fact providing these camels with a sanctuary, shielding them from a possible grim fate in the wild.

Where can you ride camels in Broome?

Cable Beach, with its tranquil scenery, is the one and only location in Broome for camel rides. All tour operators meet guests on this stunning shoreline, making it the ideal backdrop for a unique and unforgettable adventure.

Broome Camel Rides Weight Limit

In Broome, the welfare of camels is a priority. Therefore, there are certain weight limitations for camel rides to ensure the animals’ well-being.

Both Sundowner Camels and Broome Camel Safari enforce a maximum weight limit of 90kg per individual, whereas Red Sun allows a slightly higher limit of 100kg per adult.

For children, the weight restriction is kept at 60kg. Moreover, for couples riding together, the combined weight cannot exceed 170kg. These measures are put in place to protect the health and comfort of these majestic creatures.

What is the best time of day to ride camels in Broome?

A camel ride against the backdrop of a sunset at Cable Beach is the quintessential Broome imagery most travellers have come to expect. And for a good reason – the dazzling display of oranges, pinks, and purples lighting up the sky is genuinely spectacular, making Broome sunset camel rides a hot ticket, often fully booked weeks in advance.

A sunset tour immerses you in the stunning spectacle of a Western Australian sunset, a vibrant feast for the eyes, and you’ll be sure to come away with incredible photos!

That being said, don’t rush to rule out a morning tour. Opting for a sunrise camel ride lets you sidestep the afternoon heat and bustling crowds.

Those seeking a last-minute booking will likely find the morning tours more accommodating. The experience is undeniably calmer, offering you a serene journey on the 22-kilometre stretch of Cable Beach. Rest assured, the early morning vistas are equally insta-worthy.

The morning sunrise camel tours in Broome are generally more budget-friendly!

What to Expect on a Broome Camel Ride?

Embarking on a camel ride in Broome is a delightful adventure that guarantees some hearty laughter and engaging encounters.

Camels have this stereotype of being a touch grouchy, but the ones here in Broome are chill, and happy to amble along with us, the random tourists. Don’t be surprised if you spot a camel-in-training in your convoy. That’s right, even camels have a rookie phase!

While these rookies occasionally test the waters with a quick detour, there’s no need for alarm. It happened in my group and created a momentary stir, but the ever-vigilant tour staff had things back in order in no time. The camels follow a strict single file, flanked by attentive guides at the front, middle, and back, ensuring any bumps in the ride are quickly smoothed over.

For the welfare of the camels, your weight will be asked before the ride. The operators are mindful of not overburdening the animals and have set weight limits.

As for getting on and off the camel, no longer do you have to grapple with the awkward manoeuvre of climbing on a kneeling camel. Most tour operators now provide mounting platforms attached to their trucks. This allows for a graceful ascent and descent, eliminating the camel’s need to get up and down, ensuring a comfortable experience for both the rider and the camel.

Where to stay near Cable Beach?

Given the magical yet specific timing of the camel tours, either embracing the fresh breath of early morning or basking in the soft glow of the setting sun, it’s worth considering spending the night nearby.

Staying locally not only makes for a stress-free start to your camel riding adventure but also allows you to soak up the serene beauty of Broome’s evening sky, undisturbed by the rush of return travel.

The distance between Perth and Broome is approximately 2200km, and the journey, primarily along the North West Coastal Highway, can take around 23-25 hours non-stop. However, it’s advisable to spread this out over several days to enjoy the sights and stopovers along the way.

Remember to check the condition of your vehicle before starting your journey as remote stretches of the highway have limited services.

Camel Rides Broome: Frequently Asked Questions

Can i wear shorts on a camel ride .

Yes, you can wear shorts on a camel ride. However, considering the open-air nature of the experience, it’s important to wear sun-smart clothing. Applying sunscreen and avoiding singlets or shirts that provide little sun protection is advisable. While very short shorts or skirts may be fashionable, they could be uncomfortable when seated on the camel. Comfortable shoes, including sandals, are also a good choice for this adventure.

Are camel ride’s comfortable?

Yes, camel rides are designed with comfort in mind. The saddles are padded and the gentle sway of a camel’s stride can be surprisingly soothing once you get accustomed to it.

Are camel rides bumpy?

Camel rides have a unique rhythm to them due to the camel’s distinct, swaying gait. Some might describe it as a bit bumpy, especially at first, but most riders quickly adapt to the rhythm and find it rather calming.

How do you get on and off a camel?

Getting on and off a camel in Broome has been made simple with the use of mounting platforms. These platforms level you with the camel’s back, allowing you to climb aboard easily without the camel having to kneel.

Are camel rides safe?

Yes, camel rides in Broome are safe. Tour operators ensure that the camels are well-trained and have guides on hand throughout the ride to manage the camels and address any issues that may arise.

Why are there camels in Broome?

Camels were introduced to Australia from India and Afghanistan in the 19th Century to assist with transport and workloads in the arid outback. After motorized transport took over, these camels were released into the wild. Broome, with its vast landscapes, has become a natural habitat for these creatures, and today it’s a joy to experience the rich history and unique charm of Broome through a camel ride.

Broome Camel Safaris Review 2024: Locals Guide to the Best Two

Three operators offer camel rides in Broome, so which one should you choose? I researched the tour operators thoroughly before deciding which camel ride to book, so you don’t have to. This article compares the top two camel rides to help you decide which is best for you.

In  Australia’s North West  region, Broome is known for its Cable Beach (22 kilometers of white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters).  Here camel ride companies offer tourists the opportunity to experience the area’s beauty from a different perspective. It is one of the most popular  things to do in Broome .

Book Our Favourite Camel Tour

The Popular Red Sun Camel Sunset Tour will be one of the best things you’ll do in Broome.

Comparing Camel Rides in Broome Western Australia

Three companies operate camel rides in Broome; Broome Camel Safaris, Red Sun Camels, and Sundowner Camel Tours. However, I would book either Broome Camel Safaris or Red Sun Camels.

Red Sun Camels

⭐️ Rating: 4.6/5 ⏰  Tour Start Times:  7:50am, 4pm, 4:50pm ⏳  Tour Lengths:  30-60 mins   Check Rates and Availability

Red Sun Camels began in 1991 but were purchased by John and Janet Geappen in 2000, who now have over 40 camels. The couple opened the Camel Store in Broome in 2007, where you can purchase camel-related products.

Red Sun Camels have red blankets and offer a sunset tour, a pre-sunset sampler tour, and a morning tour. They have a strict 100 kg maximum per person and two people ride each camel. If you have a child on your lap (0 to 4 years), you jointly cannot exceed the 100 kg limit. As with Broome Camel Safaris, the combined weight of two passengers cannot exceed 170 kg. Child rates apply for 5 to 15-year-olds.

There are a variety of tours, but their signature is the “Sunset Safari.” Lasting about an hour, this tour is timed perfectly to capture the sunset over the Indian Ocean. As the sky transitions through a kaleidoscope of colors, you’ll be riding atop one of Red Sun’s well-trained, gentle camels, each with its own name and personality. It’s not just a ride; it’s an interaction with these lovely animals.

Red Sun Camels have an hour Sunset Tour, a Pre-Sunset Sampler Tour, and a Morning Tour .

Customers often highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the staff , along with the well-cared-for camels . A frequent comment from reviews is the ease and comfort of the ride, making it suitable for all ages and experience levels.

Broome Camel Safaris

⭐️ Rating: 4.6/5 ⏰  Tour Start Times:  3:45pm, 4:45pm ⏳  Tour Lengths:  30-60 mins   Check Rates and Availability

Alison Bird profoundly cares for her camels, has trained them, and brought up orphan calves from the wild. Alison and her husband, Allen, now have over 30 camels which are all loved. They have a strict 90kg per person weight limit policy, with a combined weight of two passengers not exceeding 170 kg. Children are between five and fifteen but must not weigh more than 60 kg; otherwise will be charged as adults. Children up to four years old can sit on an adult’s lap.

You can tell their camels by the blue blankets. They offer morning, afternoon, and sunset camel rides on Cable Beach, and every lady receives a pair of freshwater pearl earrings.

The most popular holiday activity is the one hour sunset camel ride , where you get to give your camel a carrot at the end.

The 30-minute pre-sunset tour is great value if you prefer a shorter ride. It also allows you to take photos of the camel train at sunset.

The rave reviews speak volumes. Visitors consistently praise the knowledgeable guides , the friendly camels , and the unforgettable views . One reviewer mentioned, “It’s more than just a ride; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that connects you with nature and these incredible animals.”

Maximum Weight Limit of Camel Rides in Broome

There are maximum weight restrictions for camel rides in Broome to safeguard the health of these animals.

Broome Camel Safari has a 90kg weight limit, and Red Sun Camels has a 100kg limit per adult. Child weight limits are 60 kg, and a couple cannot exceed 170 kg.

Camel Rides in Broome: My Review

My top two camel ride operators have excellent reviews and the prices are similar. We ended up choosing Red Sun Camels, but Broome Camel Safaris looked good too.

Pre Sunset Camel Ride Tour

I opted for the Broome pre-sunset ride as I thought a 30-minute ride would be long enough and wanted to be on this beautiful beach to take photos of the camel trains at sunset. It was also cheaper for our family of four, and you still have the same experience, although not at sunset.

Also, this end of Cable Beach gets very busy around sunset, and lots of 4wd vehicles park and drive along the beach. However, the camels do go further up the beach.

The camel ride operators are easy to find. Turn right at the rocks from the main access point on Cable Beach and look for your chosen tour operator’s colour. Make sure you leave plenty of time to get there, though, as they won’t wait and will leave without you.

Upon arrival, we were offered a complimentary drink of a beer, sparkling wine (thank you very much), or water. Once signed in, we relaxed on the beach while waiting for the rest of the group to arrive.

We spotted the camels approaching soon, and they were brought alongside a Ute, used as a loading platform to make it easier to get off and on the camels. I believe Red Camels are the only operator to offer this at this stage.

We then had to gather around to decide who goes on what camel and with whom. The guides try to keep families together.

Soon it was our time to climb the steps onto the platform and wait for the camel to come alongside. It was an easy swing of the leg over, and off we went.

It felt bumpy to start with, but we soon got used to the feeling and enjoyed a gentle ride along the white sands of Cable Beach . During the ride, the friendly guides told us the name of our camel and how she became part of their camel train.

The friendly camels were constantly coming alongside for a pat and a stroke. They are adorable animals with long eyelashes and don’t smell at all (or spit).

On the return part of the journey, the staff uses your camera to take photos of you on the camel, so you have a memory of it all free of charge. There were options to buy professional photos too.

Before we knew it, the ride was over, and we were back alongside the loading platform to dismount the camel.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found the pre-sunset tour perfect. I didn’t find it uncomfortable, but I might have after an hour.

Add camel rides in Broome to your bucket list; it’s a true Broome iconic experience and great fun for the family.

Camel Information & Facts

There are two types of camels; Arabian Camel (Dromedary) and Bactrian Camel. The Dromedary camels have one hump and are the ones found in Broome. They live to about 25 years old in the wild, but Domestic camels can live up to 40 years old.

These animals can grow to 7 feet at the hump and weigh 1600 pounds. Their hump stores fat which can be broken down into energy when food is scarce. They hardly sweat, so they don’t require much water. The domestic ones will drink around 25 litres daily, but a thirsty camel can drink 115 litres in 13 minutes.

Unlike most animals, when walking, the camel moves both feet on one side of its body, then both feet on the other. 

History of Camels in Australia

Camels were introduced from India and Afghanistan into Australia in the 19th Century to help with transport and workloads. Muslim cameleers were brought in to service the South Australian outback and soon began their own businesses importing and running camel trains. It is estimated that around 15,000 camels were imported into Australia at that time. The handlers were known as Afghans or Ghans, from which the train, The Ghan , gets its name.

After the arrival of motorised transport, camels weren’t required and so were released into the wild. Here they thrived, and today Australia has the world’s largest population of feral camels. This has become a problem for outback communities where they destroy fences and pipes and drink the waterholes dry. The government funded a culling program that killed around 160,000 camels from 2009 to 2013.

So you could say that these camel ride companies are saving the camels from death. I’m not a supporter of animal tourism when the animals suffer. However, these are well looked after; they are fed and watered, there is a weight limit for passengers, and they only work two to three times a day.

Best Time to Visit Broome for Camel Safaris

The best times to visit Broome for camel safaris are during the dry season, which typically spans from April to October . Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during these months:

• April to June: This period marks the transition from the wet to the dry season. The weather is more comfortable, and the landscape is green from the recent rains. It’s an ideal time for those who prefer milder temperatures and fewer crowds.
• July to August: These are the peak tourist months in Broome. The weather is dry and cool, making it perfect for outdoor activities like camel safaris. However, it’s also the busiest time, so booking tours in advance is recommended.
• September to October: As the dry season comes to an end, the temperatures start to rise, but it’s still a great time for camel safaris. The sunsets are particularly spectacular during these months, offering a breathtaking backdrop for evening rides.

My Helpful Tips for First-Time Camel Rifers

• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Opt for light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing (long pants to prevent chafing). Wear closed-toe shoes for better support or ide bare-foot as I did.
• Listen to the Guide: Pay attention to the instructions provided by your guide for mounting, riding, and dismounting the camel.
• Stay Relaxed: Camels can sense if you’re tense. Stay calm and relaxed, especially during the mount and dismount, as camels stand up and sit down front legs first. Note that Red Camels mount via a ute so the camels don’t have to bend down.
• Hold on Securely: Use the saddle handle to hold on when the camel is moving, but avoid gripping too tightly.
• Sit Upright: Maintain a straight posture with your weight balanced. Leaning can make the ride uncomfortable for both you and the camel.
• Be Prepared for Height: Camels are taller than horses, so be ready for a higher perspective.
• Use Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen and wear a hat, as you’ll be exposed to the sun for the duration of the ride.
• Avoid Sudden Movements: Quick movements can startle the camel. Move smoothly and follow the camel’s rhythm.
• Capture Memories: Bring a camera or phone to take photos, but make sure it’s secure.
• Respect the Animal: Remember that camels are living creatures. Treat them with respect and kindness.

Greeted warmly on arrival. The ride itself was quite comfortable and the staff were laid back , friendly and answered questions. They took everyone’s photo before the ride and during the ride if asked. Camels were calm and walked at a steady pace.I was given good instructions on how to mount and dismount. An enjoyable experience and very reasonably priced.

Great team of people, looked after us and took some great photos to help us share our memories with family and friend.

Thank you so much for an awesome afternoon. Alison and her team of workers really make the ride a truely memorable one, they so friendly and happy to take your photo memories well done. Everyone should go blue camels.

The Pre-sunset ride we took yesterday was such a wonderful experience. The four guys are very friendly and knowledgeable and put everyone at ease. I can’t believe they were willing to run up and down taking photos for everyone on personal phones/cameras , making special memories for all. Easy to tell the camels are so well loved and cared for, this will be a highlight of our trip for sure.

The camels were excellent. They were quiet and obviously well looked after. The ride was professionally managed. Care should be taken as the beach is also used by all manner of 4×4 vehicles vying for a place to watch the sunset.
