A must in Kaikoura with children

Published on Jan, 2025

Incredible for even small children! Both my kids loved it and it wasn’t too long. A very good tour and explanation. The place is full of details and love! Definitely worth a visit

Fantastic!

Published on Dec, 2024

We went for our initial llama trek and loved it so much we returned for a second visit the following day! By far one of the highlights of our two week trip to New Zealand! On the second day the llamas seemed to remember us - a real treat after walking and feeding them. 5 stars to Kevin for his organization and the care he demonstrates to all of his animals.

Best Kaikoura experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

I loved getting to meet all the llamas walking with us. My daughter and I had an awesome time with Hank and Smokey as our llama companions. Kevin taught us a lot about the llamas. It was such a wonderful experience.

Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Lots of fun walking and learning about llama’s. Would recommend to others for sure. The normal river area was recently flooded due to heavy rains, but our guide quickly adapted and rerouted us to another trek area. After the trek we headed back to the farm to see some llama yearlings and other animals prior to departing. Try it!

Wonderful opportunity to get to know a beautiful llama

Published on Dec, 2024

One of our highlights of our trip to NZ! What a great way to learn about these beautiful animals. With the expert help of our guide Kevin, we walked with our llamas through the countryside near Kaikoura. As we went, we learned about their nature and behaviour, building trust with our llamas. It was a unique privilege and very enjoyable. Next time we will do the half-day trek.
