Welcome to Pyndan Camel Tracks, the only camel tour operator in Alice Springs.

A camel ride against the backdrop of the beautiful West MacDonnell Ranges is a signature Red Centre experience. Owner Marcus Williams has worked with camels since 1982 and his camels are well trained.

Located 15 minutes from Alice Springs or Simpsons Gap in a picturesque valley alongside West MacDonnell Ranges, Pyndan Camel Tracks has Nature Tourism Certification through Ecotourism Australia.

Relax on a camel ride at sunset with complimentary refreshments after your tour or choose a peaceful afternoon ride. During the small group one-hour ride with the gentle camels you’ll see unique Australian animals like kangaroos and eagles as you experience the true beauty of the Red Centre. Choose a free transfer from accommodation or self drive. Spend time at the ‘Camel Lounge’ to learn about camels and browse the camel-themed souvenirs. Camel rides are available all year round with live availability shown on our Book Now calendar available on our website.
