5.00Such a fun adventure for animal lovers. Bonnie and Mike were so friendly and welcoming. We learned a bunch of fun facts about alpacas, llamas, and the surrounding area of Carmel Valley. Would absolutely recommend experience to anyone coming to Carmel.

5.00This is our third trip to Carmel Valley but our FIRST visit with the alpacas. What a perfect balance of education, alpaca interaction, and nature. An absolutely beautiful farm combined with a thorough yet succinct explanation of these lovely animals by Bonnie that helped us to understand what to expect and how to best engage. I truly enjoyed this learning. We each walked our own alpaca through a portion of the property (be sure to wear shoes with good traction) with a break in the middle to feed them. We even spent some time with the llamas at the end. The love Bonnie has for these endearing animals is so evident. HIGHLY recommend!!!
I hugged an alpaca!

5.00Really unique adventure with a fantastic view! Bonnie and Mike are semi retired vets who started this air BNB/alpaca farm. I had a wonderful time learning about these amazing creatures and getting to know them! Each hiker is assigned an alpaca, and man was it a beautiful view! If you're looking for something unique, a way to connect with unique animals, or just a way to spend a beautiful day with a view, it doesn't get better than this!
Fun with Alpacas

5.00My wife and I were in Carmel for relaxation but no plans. Until, we found out about the Alpaca Adventure. So glad we did! We learned a lot about alpacas and then went on a little hike with everyone getting their own alpaca to bring along. There were only 3 couples so it never felt crowded or rushed like other group adventures. We never walked alpacas before but would love to again. It was the most memorable and enjoyable time we've had on our travels, and we've had many.

5.00Booked this experience and had a great time! Bonnie and Mike were great guides and gave us a thorough lesson on alpaca history, biology, and husbandry. They were super informative and happy to answer questions. This made the experience of walking with and feeding the alpacas more memorable and fun. We would love to go back and stay with their Airbnb experience. They also had the sweetest dogs who were an absolute delight.

5.00Incredible experience! Gorgeous views, beautiful trail, and you’re walking through all of it with your own super cute alpaca. Bonnie is a great host, clearly in her element, and makes the whole thing feel really relaxed and personal. Small groups help too. Walked away way more charmed than I expected to be. Just do it.
Best thing I did on my trip

5.00Honestly, this was the highlight of my trip. Bonnie is a fantastic host. The intro talk was super interesting and the hike through the property is gorgeous. You each get your own alpaca to walk, and they have unique personalities. Small group, beautiful views, and incredibly cute alpacas. This is a must do if you’re anywhere near Carmel Valley.
Once in a lifetime experience
