Your mini adventure commences as you arrive at our meticulously landscaped car park, boasting a variety of amenities including toilet facilities, catering to the needs of all visitors, including those with reduced mobility and families with babies. Warmly greeted by our friendly alpaca trekking guides, you will be introduced to your very own alpaca companion. Under the guidance of your expert handler, embark on our distinctive trail, which typically spans around 30 to 40 minutes. Towards the end of the trail, your guide will ensure the alpacas are securely tied up, while you venture forth to the island oasis housing the coffee trailer and inviting picnic tables, offering an array of refreshments and snacks for purchase. For a truly indulgent experience during lunchtime slots, you have the option to pre-purchase a luxury picnic with alpacas. This exquisite hamper can be enjoyed at one of our picturesque picnic tables reserved for our luxury picnic experience. Please note that each time slot is strictly limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 2 hours if you opt for the gourmet picnic hampers. It is imperative to arrive at least 10 minutes before your designated slot time to ensure a seamless experience, as the group will proceed without any latecomers.
