THE COMPANION

Meet Your Alpaca

Each alpaca stroll pairs you with a single alpaca and its lead handler; the experience includes alpaca cuddles, photo opportunities, and space for one additional buddy walker per alpaca.

THE ROUTE

A Short, Scenic Walk

The core of the outing is a roughly 3/4‑mile walk through the farm’s wooded trails, a 20–30 minute stroll that winds over sections that can be a little steep and uneven.

THE SETTING

An Intimate Farm Experience

You’ll be on a working farm with opportunities to interact with other animals; capacity is limited—only three alpacas are available per stroll—to keep the outing intimate.

What the day feels like

What the Evening Feels Like

The outing is paced to unwind: after a brief orientation with your lead handler and alpaca, you’ll set off on a 20–30 minute walk along wooded trails, returning to the farm for more photo ops and animal interactions within an overall one‑hour program.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this stroll suits—and who should take care.

1
Active FamiliesGood for families who can manage short walks on uneven ground and who value a small, shared animal‑focused outing; note the intimate capacity and physical footing.
2
Couples & Small GroupsWell suited to pairs or a few friends seeking a quiet outdoor experience with photo opportunities and direct alpaca interaction; limited alpacas keep the group size small.
3
Seniors & Mobility‑Limited TravelersMay not be ideal for anyone with significant mobility limits—trails can be steep and uneven, so consider footing before booking.
4
Families with Young ChildrenPossible for families but plan for uneven trails and the working‑farm environment; children should be able to walk the short distance and be supervised around animals.
