Hurley’s Alpaca Walk Experience at Lucky Tails Farm — 90 Minutes Among the Herd.
Set on the grounds of Lucky Tails Alpaca Farm in Hurley, the Alpaca Walk Experience begins in the visitors' barn with an introduction to alpacas, fleeces and the farm’s breeding programmes before you meet the animals themselves. Over the course of the visit you will encounter alpacas and a broader menagerie — from pygmy goats to guinea pigs and donkeys — harness an alpaca for a very leisurely stroll around the land, and find ample chance for photos and selfies. Weekend bookings in December can include a Santa visit for children.
