AI summary of 21 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guided sunrise camel ride itself, highlighting the peaceful experience, exceptional views of Uluru and the surrounding landscape, and the calm, well-trained nature of the camels. The knowledgeable and friendly guides stand out most prominently across reviews, with travellers noting their detailed explanations and supportive demeanour, particularly towards nervous participants. The overall experience is enhanced by the subsequent farm visit with morning refreshments, the opportunity to see various animals including a young camel, and the on-site museum, though a few travellers note initial nervousness about camel riding before finding the experience rewarding.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
A wonderful sunrise ride this morning with Elli as our host, who was a real credit to the team. Well run and organised, and a beautiful way to start the day even for someone who loves a sleep-in.
We loved riding out into the sunset on the camels. The team know every camel well and share plenty along the way, and the slow pace gives you time to watch the sun go down over Uluru.
A great morning on the sunrise camel ride. Our camel was The Rock, a big but very gentle boy.
The sunrise camel ride was beautiful and our guide explained everything in great detail. Highly recommended.
We chose the sunset ride and got some amazing photos, with the guide taking pictures of everyone on their own phones. Backpacks aren't allowed on the camels, but they give you a small bag for a water bottle and phone, and the drinks and nibbles afterwards were delicious.
A truly amazing way to see the sunset. I worried about getting on a camel, but a platform made it easy, and we stopped with Uluru in the distance to watch the sun go down before warm damper and a drink back at the farm.
