This was a brilliant activity. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who took plenty of really good photos for everyone, beach was beautiful and the sky moody. I would highly recommend this iconic Broome activity. Camels were calm and don't bite!!

The whole experience was so much fun. The staff were very helpful with questions and taking great photos The fact there was a ramp to get on the camels was very safe and better for the camels as well.
