- Picnic, lunch or sharing platter in the meadow (1.5 hours): enjoy a luxury picnic among the alpacas, from €40.00 per person.
Who is an alpaca day out for?
Really for anyone who loves animals and nature. The Meet & Feed is suitable for all ages, so it is a lovely outing with (grand)children or grandparents too. The walk is for ages 12 and over. Coming with friends, as a couple or with family? Then a private walk or a picnic is a great choice. Companies and teams and care groups are very welcome too; we tailor the programme to the group.
