5.00It provides the opportunity to get up close and learn about handling Llamas. We also learnt some of the history of the town, especially in respect to the whaling industry and the impact of the earthquake.
Really unique, fun, and educational!

5.00Highly 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!
Fantastic interactions with llamas!

5.00Trekking 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!
