With only two camel ride operators to choose from, this is one of the best: Red Sun Camel Ride Broome. There are different teams of camel rides, marked by their colours and this camel train is red.
Ride into the Sunset on Cable Beach
If there’s one experience that defines Broome, it’s the unforgettable sight of a camel train strolling along the white sands of Cable Beach as the sun melts into the Indian Ocean. The Red Sun Camel Ride is one of the most iconic ways to experience this magical moment.
Climb aboard one of these gentle desert giants and sway along the shoreline while the Kimberley sky transforms into brilliant shades of gold, pink and crimson. It’s peaceful, fun, a little adventurous – and guaranteed to be one of the highlights of your Broome holiday.
Whether you choose the magical sunrise ride, a quick pre-sunset sampler, or the famous sunset camel tour, this is a uniquely Australian experience that combines stunning scenery, fascinating stories and plenty of unforgettable photo opportunities.
An Iconic Broome Experience
Red Sun Camels is one of Broome’s most recognised camel operators, easily spotted by their bright red saddle blankets as they make their way along the beach.
Their friendly guides introduce you to each camel and share fascinating insights into:
-
The remarkable history of camels in Australia
-
The personalities and quirks of each camel in the train
-
The unique environment of the Kimberley coast
Expect plenty of laughs, great commentary and lots of opportunities for photos along the way. The guides are even happy to take pictures on your camera so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
At the end of the ride you can even reward your camel with a carrot — a favourite treat for these gentle giants.
