Sunset Camel Ride, Uluru

Watch the sunset over Uluru in true outback style with a guided evening camel ride. Perfect for nature and animal lovers (including kids five and up), this experience begins with a transfer to a local farm, where you'll meet the rescued camels and your knowledgeable guides. Then, it's time to set off on a gentle, hour-long ride through the red sands near Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Listen as your guide shares fascinating facts about the region's flora and fauna, pause to watch the sun dip behind Uluru from a remote lookout point, and end with drinks and outback bush snacks back at the farm.

This family-friendly outback adventure starts just before sunset, when you transfer to a local camel farm near the gateway to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by experienced cameleers with a deep passion for their camels and the desert landscape. Meet your gentle mount (one of a string of 12 rescued and rehabilitated dromedaries), and set off on a peaceful one-hour ride, crossing arid red sand dunes against a spectacular backdrop of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. 

During the ride, the cameleers will share their extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna you spot along the trail, and you can learn more about the region's history (and why camels were introduced to the outback and still roam wild there). As dusk approaches, you'll stop at a remote lookout point just in time to watch the sunset paint the rock monoliths of Uluru and Kata Tjuta in brilliant colors. Return to the farm afterward to enjoy Australian beer, wine, or Champagne and outback bush snacks, including freshly baked beer damper (a type of local bread), before your return transfer.
