Experiences
Farm Tour with Alpaca Walk
We are open year-round, every day. The alpacas don’t mind the weather and we bundle up, grab some rain gear, and keep up with the alpacas’ way of life. We might stay longer in the barn, or under the trees, or go for a shorter walk. We make it work and you will have at least one hour of alpaca quality time.
First we visit the alpacas in the pasture or barn. Every guest will receive a container with alpaca treats to feed the alpacas. We will tell you everything we know about alpacas in general and introduce you to our herd of about 40 alpacas. We have lots of stories about our four-legged friends. They all have their own personality and quirks. They are shy, funny, demanding, and all-around magical.
Then we take our alpacas on a leash for walks down the country road. We train them very carefully for this activity. Not all alpacas will do this. Of the 40 alpacas we have about 10 who feel comfortable enough to come for walks with us. We take up to 6 at a time with us. Bigger groups will have to take turns and share.
The walk is about 1 km long. If our guests don’t feel like walking that far, we stay closer to the farm and go for short walks around the house or just visit with them in the backyard. We can adjust easily to every group’s needs and requirements.
