Tripadvisor’s 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.

It was a beautiful and fun ride on the blue camels! Weather was perfect, with a beautiful sunset on Cable Beach. The backpacker staff were great, chatty and take plenty of pics with your camera for you along the way. Alison was very friendly and welcoming... plus a little gift of pearl earrings for me! It goes for nearly 2 hours, so you have plenty of time on your camel. It's easy to get on and off the camels, and you can feed your camel with thank you carrots at the end. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience, wonderful team who take lots of great photos for you and are very knowledgeable, would 100% recommend. The camels are really well looked after and seem to enjoy their job. It is a very touristy thing to do in Broome but such fun that you don’t want to miss out! The free pearl earrings were also a nice touch.

Such a lovely way to experience the sunset at Cable Beach and celebrate our anniversary.
Alison and her team were friendly and accommodating.
The camels calmly meandered down the beach as our guides talked to us about the camels, Broome, the tracks of the turtles and took heaps of photos and videos on our phone.
While on the way down the beach the clouds rolled in but on the way back the gloomy sky rewarded us with the anticipated sunset.
Well worth doing this experience while visiting Broome.

A must do in Broome! The team ensured everyone had a wonderful experience, taking photos and videos of the train as we walked down the beach. The 'herders' walked beside us answering our every question and made us feel safe, secure and relaxed.

Had a lovely time! Before I even started I got free pearl earrings (all females do). Then we were given numbers on which camel we were gonna be on. I was on number 2 (Ariel, she is only 13 so she was quite playful splashing in puddles wherever possible haha). I also had the camel behind me standing next to me most of the time and was giving him head rubs haha (Think his name was Moshu or something like that…maybe Mushu to follow the Disney theme haha) Apparently he likes to have a nice view when he walks. Can’t blame him for not wanting to stare at his friends butt the whole time hahaha. The people from Broome Safaris (sorry I don’t remember names though they were all very friendly) kindly took photos for everyone who wanted them along the way and before you even get on. So I have lots of amazing photo’s because of them. You got to ride a camel across the beautiful Cable beach on a camel whilst watching the stunning sunset. You finish the day off by getting to feed your adorable camel a carrot as a well done 👏 Overall great experience!

One of the few things that you can still do outside the peak holiday season is a late afternoon camel ride across Cable Beach. Stunning location and a pleasant way to pass an hour. As the camels have all been captured from the wild to control the wild populations, this seemed a good cause to support at the same time.

The staff were so natural and bent over backwards for us to take heaps of photos [not the ones you get charged for] with our own camera. Camels were well looked after and respected. You got to give them a few carrots each at the end! Wonderful way to experience cable beach

We will be in Broome for six nights next April. We definitely want to book the sunset tour. Is it essential to book and if so, how far in advance please?

I think it is better to book. Our camels were full and we booked the last two the day before. You don't want to miss out.

Hi, the sunset tour was $90 for an adult and $10 for a child under 5 if carried on your lap. I'm not sure of the cost for an older child. We went during the day and it was only $40 per person.

Can you please send me the weight restrictions. Thank you Helen
BroomeCamels
Broome
Hi Helen, thank you for your enquiry. Our weight restriction is 90kgs per person. This is for the welfare of our camels. The camels are seated when they are mounted for the rides and they need to rise to their feet and sit down after the ride with the weight on them. When seated on the camels you are directly over the major joints of the camels. The shoulders, hips and leg joints. It is when they rise and sit when injury can occur. They work very hard throughout the year so we like to take good care of our camels.

Hi I am in wheelchair but can managed for short periods of time on crutches is it at all possible for me to do this trip I am doing Horizontal Falls trip on crutches.
My husband will be able to help me on and off camel many thanks Jenny

Hi Jenny
Yes you can still ride the camels. Though you will have to meet us on Cable Beach to the right of the rocks when looking at the ocean. The camels are a big animal and it will be a bit of a spread...I will let you decide if that is okay.

Is this trip suitable for a person who has had hip replacements

Hi, I guess it just depends on your agility. The hardest thing is getting on and off the camel which is just awkward. Once you're on you just sit there and you could end up with a sore bottom!

I think the tours revolve around the tides as there are times when the beach is inaccessable.
Go to broomecamelsafaris website for tour information and contact details.

Our flights from Perth get into Broome at 1.15pm, then we are transferred to Cable Beach Resort.
Are we OK to book our camel trip for this same afternoon? Just wondering if the flights are sometimes delayed,
but want my daughters to experience their first Cable Beach sunset on a camel.

Hi I can not say what could happen with flights. But I do know that sometimes it takes up to an hour to collect your luggage and then get dropped off at the Resort. I don't know what time of year you are coming. The Sunset times change and our meeting times change with the sunset. If you arrive at 1.15pm I would expect that you would have ample time to get checked in and meet us for the ride. It would also depend on where you are staying and if you have transport if you are staying somewhere in town. If you are at Cable Beach I would say you will be fine.

Do any of the camel operators offer a pick up & return service from the overseas cruise terminal for independent bookings & if so what times do they operate for what camel rides, Inquiring for the 5th May 2016

Hi, We are also on the same cruise as you, I have also been checking details regarding camel rides, apparently they have free shuttle buses from the ship into the town centre, one of the tour companies Red Sun Camels will pick up from the town at an extra cost, the sunset camel rides rides are $90.00 pp, there is also a bus company that goes to Cable Beach, hope this helps.
Do they weigh you before you get on the camel?
Can you ride a camel if you are 145kg
