Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ONES YOU'LL MEET

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.

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.

THE FORMAT

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.

What the day feels like

What the Walk Feels Like

The Private Alpaca Trail Walk unfolds as a gentle, animal-led loop through woodland — about 3/4 mile and roughly 30 minutes long — punctuated by hands-on moments with farm animals before and after the hike; the setting leans pastoral and peaceful, with the occasional short, steep pitch to remind you it’s an outdoor experience.
