Alpaca Walks with your Husbandry course and Alpaca Experiences can be booked in advance by appointment only  but are subject to booking priority and weather/ground conditions. You book two dates and one will always be fine!

Relax and take time out on our Rural Agricultural farm and walk with an Alpaca by your side. Learn how to care for Camelids and maybe start your own Alpaca Business. You can just enjoy the experience of being near them – you do not have to walk one. For those not so confident in close proximity to livestock – we have 6-8ft lanes between the paddocks and vehicles in which to transport those less able. Alpaca farm planning forms part of our husbandry courses.

We supply Alpaca Gift Cards with the details of the Alpaca Experience booked which you send to the lucky recipient ! Please remember our Courses and Experiences are booked in advance – prices vary according to group size, length and experience required.
