Located in the charming town of Riethoven in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant, this private alpaca walking tour offers a unique blend of gentle outdoor activity and local flavor. Spanning roughly 3 kilometers, the path winds through idyllic countryside landscapes characteristic of this part of the Netherlands, dotted with open fields and verdant pastures common to the area. The tour begins with a warm, informative introduction to the alpacas that will be accompanying you—these calm, curious creatures are native to South America but have found a welcoming home here, where they graze peacefully in these well-kept grounds.
The walk itself is an immersive experience, suitable for families and groups alike, providing both an opportunity to connect with nature and to enjoy light exercise in fresh air.

Along the way, visitors can appreciate the small details of local flora, including wildflowers and native grasses that thrive seasonally, adding pops of color against the open skies.
What truly sets this experience apart, though, is the concluding borrelplank—a Dutch-style social snack board featuring a curated selection of local cheeses, meats, breads, and seasonal accompaniments. After walking alongside your alpaca pals, you can relax and socialize over these delicious regional treats, providing a perfect blend of physical activity and cultural indulgence.
The experience emphasizes a relaxed pace and inclusivity, comfortably accommodating all ages and fitness levels, making it a memorable day out for visitors looking for a gentle adventure paired with authentic Dutch hospitality.
