Australia’s largest camel dairy — the focused Brisbane day tour.

A full-day Brisbane-departing small-group tour focused on Summer Land Camels at Harrisville — Australia’s largest commercial camel dairy. Extended morning at the working camel farm (farm tour, camel ride, dairy tasting including the world-first camel milk vodka), Harrisville Hotel lunch, Kalbar heritage afternoon. Brisbane CBD pickup ~8:30am, return ~5pm. Roughly 8.5 hours total.

From AUD $219 per person including Brisbane CBD pickup, coach transport, the Summer Land Camels farm tour, the standard camel ride, the Camel Milk Co. dairy tasting flight (4 products plus camel milk vodka), Harrisville Hotel counter-meal lunch, the Kalbar heritage main-street walking guide, and all gratuities. Per person twin-share basis.

Yes — unlike our Fassifern Heritage Loop where the camel ride is an optional add-on, the Summer Land Camels day tour includes the standard 15-minute camel ride as part of the package. The extended camel ride experience (longer ride, group photo) is available as an add-on for $25 per person, booked at the time of tour booking.

Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours including the farm tour, camel ride, and dairy tasting. This is longer than the Fassifern Heritage Loop (which spends about 1.5 hours at Summer Land Camels) and is the right choice for travellers who specifically want depth at the camel farm rather than covering more Fassifern stops.

The camel ride is optional — travellers can skip it and enjoy a longer farm tour, the Camel Milk Co. café, the dairy shop browsing, or simply more time at the homestead. The ride takes about 15 minutes; travellers who skip it can use that time for the dairy tasting flight or relaxed cafe time.

The Summer Land Camels day tour is focused (one star attraction with depth) while the Fassifern Heritage Loop is broader (four heritage towns plus Carr’s Lookout in one day). Summer Land Camels day is shorter (8.5 hours versus 10 hours), starts later (8:30am versus 6:30am), spends more time at the camel farm, and includes the camel ride as standard. The Heritage Loop covers more Fassifern country and includes the dawn-light Peak Crossing arrival and the Carr’s Lookout sunset. Choose based on whether you want depth or breadth.

Strongly — this is often our most-booked family tour. Kids love the camels (the farm tour is pitched at family attention spans, the camel ride is the headline experience, and the Camel Milk Co. gelato is a hit), the Harrisville Hotel does kid-friendly counter meals, and Kalbar’s Postmaster’s Sweets is the perfect afternoon treat stop. Under-12s receive a 35% discount; under-5s travel free (no seat allocated).

Year-round, with the strongest seasons being late winter (July-August), autumn (March-May), and the school holidays when families travel. Summer (December-February) bookings shift earlier (8am pickup) to ensure the camel ride happens before the heat builds. Departures are typically Wednesday through Sunday.

The standard tour includes Summer Land Camels (morning) and Kalbar (afternoon). For travellers who want to add Boonah or Carr’s Lookout, our Fassifern Heritage Loop covers the broader circuit. We can also customise private departures (minimum 6 travellers) to include specific stops on request.

Harrisville and Kalbar both sit on Ugarapul (Yugarapul) Country, part of the broader Yuggera language family. Cooee Tours acknowledges the Ugarapul as the Traditional Custodians of the Fassifern Valley and pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
