Students out on an alpaca walk

Alpaca walking

Your experience begins with a health and safety briefing and some alpaca facts, before we show everyone how to lead their alpaca. Once partnered up with your new alpaca chum, the trekking escapade begins — with plenty of time for pictures and alpaca selfies!

Cria watch

Learn a little about babies and birthing before heading out to the fields to meet the proud mums and gorgeous little ones. Depending on the time of year, our baby alpacas may have been weaned — in which case your experience will be with our yearlings!
