4.1 Hour Broome Sunset Camel Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 476 reviews · from $125

Join Alison and the Broome Camel Safaris team for a slow, one-hour sunset ride along Cable Beach. You will see Gantheaume Point and the bay from a camel’s back, hear stories about camels in Australia, receive help taking photos, feed your camel a carrot, and, for female riders, receive freshwater pearl earrings. The 90-kilogram weight limit matters.

“Extremely hot when we did it so hands were slipping on the hold on bar. Mosquitos were vicious at sunset so be prepared. We were on the biggest camel with a cheeky one behind who wanted to play. We did the 1 hr and it was a bit long with our leg issues but otherwise everyone else was fine. It was a great experience overall that needed a cold beer afterwards definitely!”
