Walking with Alpacas
Cantharis Alpacas is based in the hills above the Kapiti Coast, conveniently located just 45 kms North of Wellington and just North of the new motorway.
We offer private farm walks for you and the alpacas to be entertained.
Tour group sizes are limited to a target maximum of 14 guests giving you plenty of time to get to know our alpacas.
Once everyone has arrived, we will provide a short briefing, and walk with you and with the very cute alpacas on a lead over our hilly farm.
While the walk on the gently sloping track adds to the great experience, we require you to prepare yourself with good walking shoes or gumboots, and that you familiarize yourself with and accept the Terms and Conditions before visiting our working alpaca farm.

At the top of the property you can meet, get close, enjoy a cuddle and hand feed the other alpacas.
On the way up and at the top you can also catch the stunning views of the Kapiti Coast, Kapiti Island, the South Island (on clear days) and beyond. Ensure you have your camera ready to take photos and “selfies” of you and the alpacas.
During this unique experience you will learn about these beautiful creatures, and you will have ample time to ask questions.
Vouchers to surprise your special one(s) with an alpaca walk can be purchased here:

The track is not suitable for buggies, dogs and drones are not allowed.
The tours start at the booked time and are each approximately 1.5 hours in duration. You can book yourself in for a scheduled tour on this page.
Note that in case of bad weather we reserve the right to cancel the booked tour. We will contact you and provide a full refund for already paid orders, or re-schedule the booking to another, for you, suitable date.
The booking calendar shows our regular walks. We do however add additional walks from time to time to the schedule.

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.
