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.
