Enjoyed the sunset ride with Marcus. His experience with animals shows as the camels were relaxed and seemed to enjoy the interaction with us. This home business is well run, quick to answer mobile calls and emails! Check out their website; cameltracks.coms, super easy to book and pay for your tour..... Thanks for the great evening!

Loved the camels, and the sunset tour., and feeding them at the end. Probably could have a bit more interaction from the tour guide.

The camels had more personality than the guide. He acted as though he was bored and that we were bothering him. The prior reviews obviously had a different guide. There was no commentary at all

I didn't mind a quiet camel ride in the sunset followed by a chance to feed them but my partner wanted a bit more talk. I suppose it depends on what you want in a camel walk.

I was lucky enough to win the NT tourism/Oprah contest for 6 days in the outback. Out of all the things I did the camel ride with Pyndan Camel Tracks was my favorite. My sister and I enjoyed the ride and we did see wild kangaroos. If you are in the outback this is a must do! You will love... More

If you've never ridden a camel you should try it, very easy animals with a higher view of the surounds then you get with a horse ride. If you have then we'd still recommend doing one of their rides. We did the sunset ride and you get great views of the scenery and the animals that come out and look... More

Glad all the animals in the wild were out and about on the day your rode camels. It's great that the camels don't frighten them and they just continue about their animal business! Thanks for your informative review. We do have credit card facilities now at Pyndan Camel Tracks so you can pay on the day by credit card or... More

My 11 year old daughter had nagged our whole NT holiday about a camel ride which I finally agreed to on our last day. What a fantastic day. Isn't it amazing how children make you do things you normally wouldn't and then you love it!! The camels at Pyndan are just so gorgeous and gentle and wonderful Damon knows each... More
