This gentle ride starts from the camel farm at Pyndan Camel Tracks located 20-minutes by road from Alice Springs. Once on the back of your camel, your experienced guide will lead you into White Gums Station following a track along an avenue of Iron Bark and Mulga trees before climbing a slight incline for sweeping views across the MacDonnell Ranges– a great place for a photo on your camel.

Epic Camel VS Criminal Showdown

4.00Was doing a riding camel tour. Was all good until some criminal gang emerged from around and begun to slash the camels with machetes and the camels were bucking them and stomping on them. It was a bloodbath! Best ride of my life! I was trying out my new medications so recounts may be slightly inaccurate. Highly recommended!
Flynn was awesome!

5.00We chose the sunset ride for the opportunity to get the sun going down over the West MacDonnell range and were not disappointed. The set-up they have makes it so easy to mount and dismount the camels and the ride is very smooth. The information you get is comprehensive and the whole experience is one we will recommend to our friends when they visit the "Alice".
Cool experience and amazing staff

5.00If you have not ridden a camel, this is a must! Learned so much about the history of camels in Australia and was actually very surprised and intrigued. Nice small business that cares about their visitors and animals. Also, somehow these animals are very comfortable to ride on!
Fabulous Camel experience

5.00We absolutely loved our sunset camel ride on Tjala. Your property is so beautiful. Our guide was great and we also got to see kangaroo grazing in the paddock. Highly recommend taking a camel ride with Pyndan Camel Tracks.

5.00We experienced a camel ride as a family and with friends and it was an amazing experience. Tracey and Marcus were amazing tour guides and very welcoming. We rode through a cattle ranch and saw cattle and red kangaroos. We had the West MacDonald Ranges as our backdrop and it was spectacular. Light refreshments and you were able to get up close and cuddle a camel after your ride. They even have a cute dog that loves attention and a pretzel. If you are in Alice, this is a must do experience.

5.00A brilliant way to enjoy an Alice Springs sunset! Tracey, our cameleer, gently guided the camels along the red dirt tracks through pristine bushland surrounded by the magnificent Western McDonnell Ranges. The quiet of the afternoon and the steady gait of the camels was very relaxing. Lots of wildlife out and about to observe and the muted colours of the afternoon were stunning.
