Normally, I have reservations about tourist animal experiences but I would recommend this. They have an excellent museum on site that gave me a new perspective and appreciation for camels. In addition it summarizes the Australian camel history and doesn't gloss over some unfortunate aspects. My camel , Poof , was a dear and it was wonderful to get a perspective of the outback from his back.

We loved it to see the sun rising over Uluru area.
The team was really great as they explained everything und after the cold ride we were surprised with warm beer bread and a hot coffee/tea. Amazing! Our camels (Lasseter and Oran) also did a great job, and camel Sunny makes us laughing all the time. thanks guys! They even have more animals to see - we just has no more time to visit them. So hopefully we can return one day.

Great time. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The camels were fun and the views stunning. Afterwards yummy warm damper is provided. Highly recommend taking them up on their offer for a poncho, as it is very cold

The ride was cancelled for safety reasons due to inclement weather, and primarily wind and forecasted rain. Indeed, this was a sound decision given that camels can be belligerent when stressed. Having did a number of camel treks in Northern Africa and Australia in past trips, we can only commend the decision. HOWEVER, the weather situation was clear from early to mid-morning and the decision to cancel was made only in mid afternoon. We were told that we didn’t provide a telephone number where we would be staying in Australia. Your business is built around tourists, many from other countries. Moreover, no communication to the hotels within Ayers Rock Resort was done to announce the cancellation. There are only 4 or 5 hotels to contact ! MOREOVER, not everyone will be plugged into their emails on their phones during holidays, especially in the Outback where cell phone service is difficult at best. Regardless, waiting in front of our hotel for the 4h30pm scheduled pick up, there was another couple from Australia who were connected to their email service and they also questioned why at 4H45 pm (15 minutes passed the scheduled pick-up time) they did not hear from UCT. We were reimbursed, but the poor timing of the cancellation, the poor excuse (no Australian telephone number), realising that others were not contacted correctly either, we strongly suggest you avoid and seek other activities.

Stumpy the Camel, Pascal and Shivarn (spellcheck required), made getting up for the dawn worth the effort. Gentle, informative and calm. Proper coffee and fresh damper with syrup to wrap up the experience, very pleased to have splashed out to do it. Thanks to all concerned for a fond memory to add to my treasury.

Loved every minute of our Camel journey, we were on the Camel named The Rock, he was huge and beautiful. Our guides Dan and Emma were sensational, I got over my fear very quickly and enjoyed the sunrise and the views and the beer bread. Great gifts in gift shop too.

This place was a surprising gem. Just a few minutes drive from most accommodation, it's a good place to visit even if you don't intend on ending up on the back of a camel!

We had a 11 & 7yo who are quite cautious around big animals and I'm not the daintiest person, so I wasn't sure how we'd go. We ended up all going on the little 10 minute ride around the yard and all had a great time.

Our guide was very fun and full of personality, I also noticed that he was sensitive to my 7yo's nervousness and chose our placement on the camels accordingly, which I appreciated. Getting on/off the camels was easier than expected as we did it from up on a platform. The camels we rode were friendly and well chosen, more docile than I had expected.

Our guide was very generous with our time and took some great photos for us. We felt like it was $50 (2A & 2C) well spent. We also got a look around the saddlery and farm, which were interesting and a good way to spend a little more time there. We enjoyed the personality and humour in all aspects of the farm.

The gift shop was great too - a nice variety of options at a range of price-points - we ended up buying a few little trinkets to remember our fun there and to help support the farm a bit more.

We booked a sunset tour, however the sunset was replaced with overcast skies and rain! Despite us missing out on the sunset, the experience was still a magical one as obviously rain is a rare event in the desert! Guides were very informative and afterwards we were treated to warm damper, tea and coffee which helped us warm up after being out in the rain. There was also beer and wine on offer. Hosts all very welcoming and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area as a must do.

We were pressed for time and were not able to attend a sunrise or sunset tour. We were lucky enough to give the kids a short camel ride around the property. The young girl that walked the kids around was fantastic. Only $10 a kid for a 15min ride and then plenty of photos allowed the entire ride.

They have a great little small animal farm as well with baby camel and other animals for the kids to pat.

Would highly recommend this location to visit
