Highlights
Outing Highlights
Alpacas, Goats, Chickens and a Kune Kune Pig
Before and after the walk you'll have the opportunity to cuddle and interact with the farm’s animals — alpacas, goats, horses, chickens and a kune kune pig — making the outing as much about connection as it is about the trail.
A Short, Wooded Loop
The route is a roughly 3/4-mile woodland stroll that takes about 30 minutes; the trails are described as a little steep in places, so expect pockets of grade amid quiet, shaded paths.
Private, Small-Group Experience
This is a private booking for up to 10 people at a flat group rate, offering a focused, intimate experience rather than a public, large-group walk.
