River Walk

Walk alongside friendly llamas through the vibrant Acadian Forest near Cap Pele. This gentle, 1.5-hour trek along rivers ends with a charming farm visit to meet local animals.

Situated just outside Cap Pele in New Brunswick, Llamazing Adventures offers a distinct outdoor journey that combines gentle hiking with close encounters of the llama kind. This 1.5-hour trek follows serene rivers that thread through the Acadian Forest—an ecosystem known for its rich, mixed hardwoods and vibrant wildlife. Unlike typical hikes, the star companions here are friendly llamas, who amble beside you with calm curiosity, making this an approachable and memorable outdoor experience for all ages starting at seven.

The route itself winds beside some of the most picturesque small rivers in the region, where reflections of maple and birch leaves dance in the water during the warmer months. The Acadian Forest, a unique Northern temperate forest with both coniferous and deciduous trees, offers a lush backdrop that shifts colors dramatically with the seasons. Wildlife sightings are common: keep an eye out for white-tailed deer and a variety of songbirds that ripple the forest canopy.

Llamazing Adventures not only introduces visitors to this rare forest habitat but also emphasizes connection—with nature, animals, and local culture. After the trail, guests enjoy a 30-minute visit at the adjoining farm, meeting the llamas' stablemates including chickens and goats, lending a hands-on feel for rural New Brunswick life. This combination of light physical activity and animal interaction makes it an ideal outing for families, casual hikers, and anyone curious about New Brunswick’s natural heritage.

Offering tours year-round, the business is a welcomed local gem that broadens the area’s outdoor recreation offerings beyond traditional activities like sea kayaking and cycling. For visitors seeking a low-impact yet richly textured taste of the region’s landscape, Llamazing Adventures’ River Walk is a standout destination that invites reflection and delight alongside nature’s quieter residents.
