The most enjoyable afternoon! Me and my son booked last minute and ended up having the best time during our alpaca trek. Our alpaca was called Ollie and he was such a character, we absolutely loved him. Our guide Johnny was extremely knowledgeable and funny, and you can certainly tell this farm takes great pride and care with their animals. We can't wait to visit again as we had the best day out. A real gem not to be missed!

Thank you SO SO much to Jonny and North Coast Alpacas for such a wonderful experience! The alpaca time and picnic was such a fun family time and we all really enjoyed it. Jonny was very knowledgable and great with kids and any nervous people. The alpacas were so cute and friendly and it was great to feed them and get a cuddle too. Would highly highly recommend and we’ll be back again for Pilates, painting and more!

I booked the Alpaca Trek as a surprise for my sister's birthday earlier this month not really knowing what to expect, and from the moment we arrived we loved every minute! The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views along the North Coast and then we met the herd of alpacas - so cute, friendly and relaxed and just incredible being up so close and personal with them and how gentle they are. Jonny was the best guide, so knowledgeable, passionate and friendly with a very sweet little helper, Reuben! Would highly recommend booking, it was the loveliest and most relaxing afternoon. Will definitely be back!

We had such a lovely day yesterday visiting the alpacas! We had a picnic with them and we where able to get in to the field with them and feed them. If you are an alpaca lover you will love getting up close and personal to them. Jonny was such a lovely host, a very friendly guy who told us all about the alpacas and the history of the farm. It was such a chilled atmosphere and the farm is so peaceful, Jonny provided a few fun games for our little one to play, he loved that he had company with Jonnys son and he loved running around playing while the alpacas looked on. They also have a shed with cute Alpaca gifts in it that you can purchase as a memory of your day. We loved the experience and I would highly recommend it, thank you Jonny for a lovely day. Lucia, Will & Lockie

We had the best time walking the alpacas. From the moment we arrived, the family made us feel so welcome and comfortable. You can tell how much they genuinely care about the animals, and everything was so well organized but still felt relaxed and personal. The alpacas were adorable and had so much personality, which made the whole walk even more fun. It ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the trip. I would recommend this to anyone, it was truly something special.
