About
Enjoy a fun, relaxing and informative tour of the farm with just your friends and family! Get up close and personal with the alpacas - feel their fiber, hug them and give them kisses! Our tour guide will take you through all the pastures to visit the mothers and babies. You will see our special show animals including star champion Lulu and meet Swahili, who loves to show off and dance! :) In addition to all the alpacas, we have many other animals you get to meet including llamas, sheep, horses, peacocks, chickens, dogs and Archie the water buffalo!
The tour lasts approximately one hour. You are welcome to visit our gift shop after your tour. We have an extensive selection of Alpaca items including hats, scarves, gloves, socks, throw blankets and toys - even Alpaca fiber teddy bears.
We offer an optional picnic add-on if you and your group would like to extend your time with us and enjoy (BYO) refreshments and food on the deck with our gorgeous ocean and island view!
