Why You’ll Love This Experience

  • Meet & Mingle with Adorable Alpacas: Interact with while feeding them treats, and maybe even a quick snuggle with our curious alpacas. We provide complimentary treats, so you can hand-feed your new fuzzy friends and watch them eagerly nibble right from your palm (prepare for cuteness overload!). Their gentle nuzzles and big doe eyes will melt your heart.

 

  • Perfect for All Ages: Whether you’re 5 or 95, this tour sparks pure joy in everyone. Kids squeal with delight, teens capture the perfect selfie, and adults become kids-at-heart. We make sure everyone gets involved – from timid toddlers to doting grandparents – so your whole family or friend group shares in the fun together.

 

  • Unforgettable Bonding Moments: Imagine the look on your child’s face as an alpaca eats from their hand, or the laughter you’ll share with friends trying out your best “alpaca selfie” pose. 💕 These are the one-of-a-kind moments that bring you closer and leave you with stories, photos and happy memories you’ll cherish forever.

 

  • Fun and Educational: It’s not just fun – it’s a learning adventure too! Our passionate guide, Carolyn, will introduce you to each alpaca’s unique personality and quirks, and share cool facts about these amazing animals (did you know alpacas hum when they’re content?). You’ll leave not only overjoyed, but also with newfound knowledge to bond over and a deeper appreciation for sustainable farming and animal care.

 

  • No Spitting, Just Sweetness: Worried an alpaca might spit at you? No worries! Alpacas are gentle and polite – they only spit at each other occasionally over food squabbles. Our well-loved, well-socialized alpacas don’t spit at people unless mistreated. In fact, they’re more likely to come up for a curious sniff or a friendly “alpaca kiss” on the cheek. (Get your camera ready – it’s adorable!)

 

  • Rain or Shine Comfort: Weather not cooperating? No problem. All tours are held inside our cozy “Girls’ Barn” – home to our mama alpacas and their crias (baby alpacas). You’ll stay dry and comfortable, away from scorching sun or rain/snow. (Heads up: the barn isn’t heated in winter, so just dress for the day’s temperature.) No trudging through mud or manure here – our barn is clean and family-friendly, so you can focus on the fun!

 

  • Support Sustainable, Local Farming: By visiting, you’re supporting a local family-run ranch that treasures its animals and the environment. After the tour, top off your experience with a browse through our on-site ranch boutique. You’ll find handcrafted alpaca fibre goods by Laslyn Alpaca – our own line of super-soft, sustainable scarves, shawls and rugs made made right here from our herd’s fibre (and yes, you’ll even see the name of the alpaca who contributed the fibre on the tag!). We also carry snugly socks, mitts, insoles, dryer balls and duvets made here in Canada. To round out our offerings we also have cute plush alpaca toys, hats, gloves and headbands from fair trade groups in Peru. You can take home a piece of this eco-friendly goodness. Shopping here warms the heart knowing everything is made in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the tours family-friendly and accessible for all ages?
A: Absolutely! We welcome guests of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. Our tours are designed to be very family-friendly, and the main barn is wheelchair and stroller accessible so everyone can join the fun. (Kids 2 and under even attend for free!)

Q: How long does each tour last?
A: Tour lengths vary. The Public Alpaca tour is about 45 minutes, The Private Alpaca tour is about 60 minutes, while the V.I.P. Tour is around 1.5 hours and the Ultimate Alpaca Experience is 3 hours of alpaca time. No matter which tour you choose, most of that time is spent interacting directly with our friendly alpacas!

Q: What if it rains or the weather is bad?
A: No worries – we’ve got you covered (literally!). If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we simply hold the tour inside our cozy girl’s barn, so you won’t have to deal with rain, snow, or wind. Tours go ahead year-round regardless of weather. Just dress for the day’s temperature (the barn isn’t heated), and if driving conditions are ever unsafe, we’ll happily reschedule or offer a refund.

Q: Will we get to interact and feed the alpacas?
A: Yes! All our tours are very hands-on and interactive – you won’t just be looking at alpacas from afar, you’ll be right in there with them. We provide complimentary alpaca treats for you to feed them (no extra charge), and under our guidance you can pet them and even snap selfies. Our alpacas are used to visitors and love meeting new friends (especially if you come bearing treats)! 🦙💕

Q: What should we wear or bring for the tour?
A: Dress for a farm setting. We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes for your comfort and safety around the animals (the barn floor is clean, but toes are safest in shoes). And don’t forget a camera or smartphone – you’ll definitely want to capture the alpacas in action (baby alpacas, called crias, are super photogenic!). We provide everything else, including alpaca feed. One important note: for the comfort of our alpacas, please do not bring any pet dogs (service dogs are fine) along to the ranch – unfamiliar dogs can stress our herd.
