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.

Latest News!
After 28 wonderful years, the farm has been sold and we will be moving overseas to be closer to our (grand)children.
Walking with Alpacas will pause from 18 January 2026, with the great news that the alpacas will remain on the farm and, once the new owners have settled in, there is potential for the alpaca walks to return.
