Cantharis Alpacas

About
Cantharis Alpacas is one of the longest established alpaca farms in the lower North Island, conveniently located on the majestic Kapiti Coast, just 45 kms North of Wellington.
We breed alpacas for conformation, wool quality and character, and host the very popular guided alpaca walks over our working farm.
Walking with Alpacas
We walk with these adorable creatures in the hills above the majestic Kapiti Coast.
You will be able to lead, hand feed and, assuming they feel like it, hug them while enjoying the walk and the fantastic views over the picturesque Kapiti Coast and beyond.

The walk was beautiful and so much more than we expected. 100% will be back again Philippa Erasmus01/03/2025 A lovely relaxing couple of hours getting to know some alpacas. Shannon H24/02/2025 My partner and I loved our walk with Monty and Peter Pan. The whole group of alpacas were delightful but I think we may have scored two of the most chilled 😉 We also unexpectedly had to reschedule our booking and Rob was very accomodating which was so appreciated. Thank you so much Rob for welcoming us to your property! We will be recommending this experience to our friends and family.
