- DRS69Colorado233 contributionsIntroduction to camelsWhat a wonderful experience for kids and adults. A quick ride on a camel down the beach and back. Arrive and line up at 9:15am otherwise there is a long hot wait in the sun. Bring your own cap as you have to wear their helmets. The staff are incredibly friendly, and it is a wonderful introduction to camels! Very well worth it.Visited December 2022Written 10 January 2023
- Troppo LanaDarwin, Australia26 contributionsCamel Pete! Classic!Firstly, a camel called Pete! Hilarious! My daughter and loved it! Really lovely people and a nice operation. The camels go for a short walk through the dunes and in the water. Itโs just long enough to experience the camels, the scenery and have a good time. Will definitely do it again.Visited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 11 January 2023
- TravelTrips12Sydney, Australia382 contributionsFantastic experienceHad an absolute blast. The staff were able to fit us in at the last minute and right before the rainstorm. We were happy to have made it. The camels were very approachable and easy to ride on. The ride was incredible yet leisurely. The staff were outstanding. They were very professional and friendly. They offered to take photos of each of us with our own phones and even put in a decent effort to get the lighting and angles good. Additionally, staff walked along side the camels during the journey and provided information on the camels. Only wished the ride lasted longer than 20 minutes! Highly recommended.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 April 2023

Tripadvisorโs approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We thought this make a great surprise for our children on a recent family holiday in Nelson Bay. The staff were super friendly, helpful and professional. So much fun, going for a camel ride along the beach, we would most certainly go again on future visits to Nelson Bay. We'd highly recommend to others, especially families.

What an experience I will never forget, went with two adults and 4 kids (all girls) ages 9,9,7,6. Worth every dime! Mark your smooth buddy lol, my daughter and crippled with fear as soon as our camel (Tom) stood up lol he was able to calm my daughter (9) down as she was taken both of our emotions and anxiety on hahaha the staff was brilliant and they certainly know what they doing! Let your tires down and dive into the area rather then parking on they over filled car park up top. $30 for kids $48 for adults. No bookings just walk in and ride is for 20 mins but absolutely worth it

I went on the camel ride because my kids (12 & 14) wanted to. I enjoyed it so much and was grateful that they were keen in the first place!

Firstly, a camel called Pete! Hilarious!
My daughter and loved it! Really lovely people and a nice operation. The camels go for a short walk through the dunes and in the water. Itโs just long enough to experience the camels, the scenery and have a good time. Will definitely do it again.

Hi ,just wondering the best way to get from Circular Quay Sydney to Oak field ranch in Anna Bay so my wife can go on a camel ride . in a couple weeks .
Alice

It's a fair way to go, you'd be better coming from Newcastle instead. The camel rides are only 10 mins. You could probably find a closer one in sydney.
hi im looking at doing this but im just wondering can my 3 year old come on with me?
cindyselvage
Greater Sydney, Australia
My daughter 20mo n she can do it, but she co-sit with my husband. So 3 of us on 1 camel. But if ur lo is 3yo, i think better co-seat with u on 1 camel, coz he/she won't be abe to seat alone yet.. its high and have to have balance.. just did it yesterday n its quite an interesting n fun experience.
How much is the camel ride?
Can I take my 2 month old?
Can two ride together?
Thank you
Jane

Jane, adults are $25.00 per head, you can ride two up, depends on the number of people for the ride and it would be up to the operator on how safe your 2 months old would be to take the ride.
This attraction is operated by Oakfield Ranch and only operates on weekends and on every day of school holidays and is very popular.
Hope you enjoy.
