The Heart Behind Every Tour

Carolyn is the heart and guiding voice of every alpaca tour at Kickin’ Back Alpaca Ranch. With years of hands-on experience working with alpacas, she brings enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and a welcoming presence to every group.

Visitors consistently praise her ability to explain alpaca behaviour, care, and personality in a way that is informative, engaging, and accessible for all ages — from young children seeing alpacas for the first time to adults eager to learn more.

Whether you’re here to get up close and personal with alpacas, feed them, or simply learn about these curious animals, Carolyn ensures every visit feels safe, memorable, and personalised. Her stories, patience, and passion for alpacas make the experience both educational and fun — which is why so many guests return, recommend the tours, or bring others along.

“Carolyn taught us so much about the alpacas’ daily life, reproduction, and personalities. Just awesome — we’d highly recommend to everyone!”
