Alpaca Walking Experience

Join our farmers for an alpaca experience  

Pre- booking essential

The most    intriguing animals on the farm.

Our alpacas are a curious bunch, each with their own unique personalities and little quirks. Join us for this memorable one-hour experience, where you’ll get to meet all our alpacas, help prepare their food, and hand-feed them.

We have two crias (baby alpacas) due to be born in the summer, so if you book a visit from July onwards, you’ll have the chance to meet them as well! It’s the perfect time to come and experience the joy of welcoming new additions to the farm. 

As you walk around, you’ll have the chance to see many of our other animals as you pass by their paddocks. 

Please note that for safety reasons, children under the age of 8 are not permitted to attend this experience. However, some of our other experiences may be more suitable-Click here to see our other experiences   

Can children walk their own alpaca?

Children from ages 8 years and older are welcome to attend the experience, but to ensure the safety of both our alpacas and visitors, all children under the age of 13 will need to share an alpaca with a paying adult.

Please note that our walking route can be uneven at times, includes hills, and may be slippery in places when it has rained, so we advise wearing appropriate closed-toe footwear to ensure comfort and safety during your walk.

How long and how far will we walk?

The walk will take approximately 30 minutes, during which you’ll stroll along the perimeter of our 26-acre farm. The alpacas are a curious bunch, so expect frequent stops as they spot other animals along the way. The walk is just as interesting for the alpacas as it is for you, providing plenty of opportunities to observe their curious behaviour and enjoy the farm’s beautiful surroundings.

 Can I / my child choose which alpaca we walk?  

Each of our alpacas has a unique personality, and some may walk more calmly than others. Our alpaca guides will select the perfect alpaca for you, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for both you and the animal. Whether they’re a calm walker or a bit more lively, you’re sure to enjoy spending time with these fascinating creatures  .

Who is the visit    Suitable for?

This experience is suited to children aged 8 years and older. However, as mentioned above, children under the age of 13 will need an adult to walk the alpaca with them. Alpacas can be shy and timid, and they may become distressed by loud noises or children jumping around. We reserve the right to stop the visit or walk if a child in your group becomes overexcited and causes the alpacas distress.           

If your child has additional needs and you feel they may become overstimulated or anxious, please email us. We can arrange a private, adaptable experience for you and your family, ensuring a calm and enjoyable visit without other guests on the farm.
