Port Stephens Camel Ride & Sand Dunes: Birubi Beach

By: Author Catrina McGrail

Posted on Last updated: May 11, 2022

Categories AUSTRALIA , NEW SOUTH WALES , OCEANIA

If you are looking for something really unique and memorable to do in Port Stephens, how about a camel ride along the beach? Along with the Tomaree Head Summit Walk and swimming with dolphins , a camel ride along Birubi Beach and exploring the Stockton Sand Dunes is a must do when in Port Stephens – read on to find out more!

camel ride port stephens

Port Stephens is located around 3 hours north of Sydney by car and makes the perfect weekend trip – there are so many things to do here and the scenery is extremely beautiful!

Stockton Sand Dunes (Worimi Conservation Lands)

The Stockton Sand Dunes lie in the Worimi Conservation Lands (an Aboriginal owned park) right behind Stockton Beach. Stockton Beach is a 32km long beach that stretches from the area of Stockton (by the mouth of the Hunter River at Newcastle) to Birubi Beach, Anna Bay. The sand dunes cover 4,200 hectares and are the largest moving sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. They are an incredible sight and from the sand dunes you can look all the way out across to the Pacific Ocean.

stockton_sand_dunes_birubi_beach

Birubi Beach

Birubi Beach is located in Anna Bay on the northernmost part of Stockton Beach. To reach Birubu Beach head to James Paterson Street. You’ll find lots of parking here. You can then walk down to the Surf Life Saving Club and you’ll find the beach there.

PORT STEPHENS CAMEL RIDE

A camel ride along Birubi Beach is a great activity for both adults and children! Depending on when is most convenient for you, you can either do the camel ride during the day or at sunset. You will have a guide who will help you onto the camel and guide the camels across the dunes and onto the beach.

I lived in The Middle East for almost four years so have certainly had my fair share of camel rides, but it never gets old! If you have never been on a camel before it may feel strange at first! The camel will be kneeling down so you can get on. You need to hold on tight and lean back when it stands up as it stands it’s back legs up first and then it’s front legs, so if you don’t hold on you could fall off! As for the camel ride, it’s a lot bumpier than a horse ride, but just hold on and you’ll be fine!

So why are there camels in Australia?

Whilst camels in Australia seems strange, there are actually many here! Australia actually has more wild camels than any African or Middle Eastern country (there are about 300,000 here)! You’ll find them mainly in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.

The camels were actually imported from Afghanistan in the 1840’s as a method of transportation through the Australia Outback. As time went on and technology improved, the need for the camels declined. Many were released out into the desert, and as the climate is suitable for them, they have survived extremely well. There is so much land in the Outback and they have been able to roam free.

Port Stephens Camel Ride Company:

The Outback Ranch Camel Rides company offers camel rides at Birubi Beach.

  • 20 minute camel ride during the day – $35 ($30 for children aged 2-14).
  • 60 minute sunset ride – $90 ($70 for children aged 10-14).

Note the day camel rides are only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays (apart from the NSW School Holidays when they are open 7 days a week). They are also open on Public Holidays (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day however). Weather dependent, the sunset rides depart only on Fridays and Saturdays. Click here to enquire or book .

The camel rides depart from the lower public car park at the end of James Peterson Street ( click here to see the exact location ).

The 20 minute day rides don’t need to be pre-booked, but the hour long sunset rides MUST be pre-booked. If you would like to do a day ride longer than 20 minutes it is also possible, as long as you pre-book this too. I would definitely recommend doing a longer ride than simply 20 minutes as it goes far too fast!

What else to do at Stockton Sand Dunes?

Beach & dune driving.

If you have your own 4WD vehicle you can go beach and dune driving here at the Stockton Sand Dunes! Over 22km of beach and over 350 hectares of Worimi Conservation Lands are available for 4WD access, making it one of the largest coastal dune driving areas in New South Wales, and a really popular activity!

You are allowed to drive on the beach and dunes so long as you are only driving in the Recreational Vehicle Area. All vehicles must be registered and display a valid beach vehicle permit. This includes recreational vehicles such as quads & motorbikes.

You can buy a 3 day permit for $33 or an annual one for $88. Permits can be purchased at the BP Service Stations in Anna Bay and Salt Ash, as well as the Port Stephens Visitor Centre and NPWS Hunter Coast Area Office – both of which are located in Nelson Bay.

Camel Rides Enjoy camel riding in Port Stephens.

Camel rides on Stockton Beach are a great way to take in Port Stephens and it’s breath-taking beauty. Riding a camel at Anna Bay in Port Stephens has been a popular tourist activity for years.

Camel rides on the beach

With bright, sandy beaches, calm weather and a serene ambience, it has certainly built itself a reputation as a place to take it easy.

Port Stephens is located two-and-a-half hours north of Sydney, along the East Coast of Australia, and while visiting the Nelson Bay tourist hot-spot, many visitors choose to spend their leisure time with riding activities. Except in Port Stephens you have a choice of two.

Camel Riding Port Stephens

One of the quirkiest experiences in Port Stephens is camel riding. With soft, silky sand at the beaches, the environment is perfect for riding a camel, and the kids love it.

The experience is certainly unique, especially if you ride at sunset, and this activity has proven popular with people of all ages.

Riding trips are offered at Anna Bay, also places may be limited, so you should always book ahead.

Where to ride a camel near Nelson Bay?

The closest place to ride a camel near Nelson Bay is on Stockton Beach , near Anna Bay . Head to Birubi Beach (Anna Bay) and go with Oakfield Ranch Camel Rides for a ride near Nelson Bay .

Stockton beach is the 32km beach that heads all the way down to Newcastle . But don’t worry, you won’t be riding that far!

Most rides take place everyday except for Wednesdays from the lower carpark, James Paterson Street at Anna Bay, Port Stephens. And it may be possible to arrange a camel ride to go at other times.

Camel rides last around 20 minutes, or you can request an hour long Sunset camel ride so you can have fun and enjoy the peaceful sunset at Anna Bay.

Horse Riding

For a more conventional experience you should try horse riding at Anna Bay. This is an extremely rewarding activity for experienced and novice riders alike. The usual ride is a mixture of trail-riding through the bush, before emerging at the beach to cross the sand.

A dusk ride at sunset is recommended because of the added serenity of this experience. You can either join a group tour, or arrange to ride solo or with a guide.

Anna Bay has a few horse-riding operators to choose from and is the best place to head to for the experience. Here you can ask for Sahara Trails, whom provide fun horse rides.

Horse rides can last up to half a day, and you can even combine your trip with a camel ride as part of the same package.

Stockton itself at 32km is the state's longest beach, and its dunes offer endless appeal. Their shape, slope and stability vary with the weather. This unpredictability, potential for damage to Aboriginal cultural sites, and possible impacts to plants and animals are important reasons why we ask you not to drive over the dunes.

At the north end is Birubi Beach and camel tours set off from the public car park. Here’s a map to show you where.

camels port stephens with kids things to do

Now I’ve been on a camel before so wasn’t scared, but the girls were nervous. When the camel stands up you do need to hold on tight.

camels port stephens with kids things to do

Ours was just a 20 minute ride, far too short, we would have loved to wander off for a much longer trek into the dunes. These are available so we’ll have to do that next time.

Camel Rides: Days and Dates

Camel Rides operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year (weather permitting) and every day during NSW Public School holidays & Public Holidays. Camel rides do not operate on  Christmas Eve & Christmas Day . 

Most of the standard Camel Rides last for 20 minutes. You cannot book ahead for day rides.  You can also do hour long Sunset Rides, text ahead to check availability and to book ahead.

Port Stephens Camel Ride Price

At $30 for adults and $25 for children under 15, the 20 minute ride is not cheap, but a very unusual and interesting experience for riders.

Birubi Beach in Anna Bay , Port Stephens, is the main entrance point to the huge Stockton Beach sand dunes system .

Elsewhere on the Stockton dunes, people go quad biking, 4WDing and sandboarding. But perhaps the quirkiest activity in Port Stephens is camel riding – making it one of the best beaches in Australia for wildlife .
