About
If you love the idea of mingling with the alpacas "up close & personal,” then a private tour is the way to go! Visitors are able to enter the pens with some of our herd and feed them the carrots we provide. It's fun for all ages! Our limit is 6 people ages 2 and up (under age 2 not counted in your total).
Experience 30 minutes with the alpacas, mingling in the pens and feeding carrots that we provide! Alpacas are friendly and curious, and very eager for their favorite snack! Your small group is completely private, and we never "add on" anyone to another tour. Your tour guide will share information about alpacas in general as well as some traits of our individual quirky herd members! After the tour, learn more in our farm shop and browse the super-soft and warm alpaca products!
