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.

Sammy21/09/2024We had a wonderful time with Rob and all the fluffy, friendly Alpacas (Peter Pan and Bruno were very cute). We were already scheduled for a rainy day but Rob was very flexible and we were able to change our dates for a sunny one! The farm is beautiful, overlooking Kapiti island. Highly recommend!!![Jonathan Bhana-Thomson]()
Jonathan Bhana-Thomson17/07/2024A great experience on a sunny Sunday morning with these appealing and gentle animals. Rob gave a good intro to the animals and a relaxing feel to the whole experience. The walk itself took a bit over an hour, over a track that was a little stony and up and down but overall an easy walk as the alpacas like to stop for a bite of grass to eat along the way. Certainly recommend this if you enjoy animals, as you get up close with the alpacas.![Dyah Perwitasari]()

Winda Wulandari13/07/2024This is one of the most beautiful experiences I've had since coming to New Zealand. I can't believe I walked with an alpaca today! I even got to pet, hug, and feed her. I loved her! The owner, Rob, and his wife are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. We were so lucky to meet them. This has been the most amazing experience so far, and I would love to do it again next time!![Dwie Vannia Dianti]()
