Spend quality time with one of the world's most exotic animals. You trek with your own llama, who walks on a lead, at your side, while carrying your belongings in saddle bags.
Llama are highly intelligent, clever animals = requiring that you get to know them (and work with them) to successfully complete your trek. The subtle 'bond' you form with your llama companion is highly rewarding.
You experienced guide will help you get to know your woolly companion.
Your guide will also share a range of local Kaikoura history and information, including the extraordinary effects of the 2016 earthquake (the largest ever recorded in New Zealand)

Highly recommend! Super unique, educational and warm experience trekking with our llama pals Archie & Harry. Kevin was a superb guide! He shared interesting insights, helped us to understand the llamas through their lens and made us feel really comfortable throughout the trek. We could also feel his sincere love for his llamas, which made whole experience really wholesome and heartwarming. Archie & Harry are sweet hearts! The little picnic with muffins, coffee & tea was a lovely mid-way break. Thank you, Kevin, for the unforgettable experience!

Trekking with the llamas was such a surprisingly fun and exotic experience! Kevin, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Our interaction with our llama was wonderful! I’m sold on those big soulful eyes, fluffy fur, and sweet disposition of the llamas. We saw beautiful views during the trek and enjoyed the snack provided at the end. Loved it and can’t wait to do it again!

Our time with Hero and Joey, our new llama friends, was amazing. During our time on trek, we learned so much about llamas and the history of Kaikoura. Understanding the world through the llama’s eyes was educational and becoming a part of their company was heartwarming. A delightful way to spend time in Kaikoura.
