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

Amazing Tour

5.00Absolutely amazing time spent with Bonnie, the alpacas, and various other farm animals. Bonnie goes into educational details of the alpacas and about some other farm animals, which was about 45 minutes. We got to hang out with the two sweetest dogs while Bonnie expressed her passion about her and her husband’s farm. Then we headed out on our little hike. Each of us had an alpaca of our own to walk with, and Bonnie explained to us how to handle the alpacas correctly. We got rained out right during our break and the alpaca feeding time. Bonnie provided us with water and snacks. We didn’t stay long at the break since it was raining. Our small group didn’t mind the rain at all, neither did the alpacas. We still got to pet and feed the alpacas in the rain. We got to say hi to a few other animal friends when we finished the hike. It was the lovely time, would definitely do it again. It was worth every penny to me. I would definitely do this again!
perfect morning for animal lovers

5.00This was fantastic! Bonnie and her husband are super knowledgeable about alpacas and llamas, and all of the alpacas were very friendly (and soft!). We got to go for a nice hike with our alpacas then stopped at the top for a snack (both for the humans and alpacas) and for a photo op. We also got to meet the rest of the animals on the property, including the llamas! If you go on this, would recommend wearing sneakers or hiking boots and pants since you do walk through some wooded areas with your alpaca.
