Delightful.Highly recommend for anyone ! - The alpaca walk was excellent, lovely setting enjoyable walk by the river.Passionate and caring staff. We had lots to ask about alpacas we really felt at ease to ask... read more anything we wanted and our questions were always answered very informatively. They have made as good an experience as they possibly could. It felt very good value for money. It was loads better than another alpaca walk in another part of the country for all the reasons above. Thank you to everyone that puts so much effort into keeping the alpacas so happy and letting the public have the experience of being alongside them.

There are Alpacas galore, 2 llamas, some sheep and a rather large pot bellied pig. Lovely tea and coffee truck with gorgeous cakes and a little shop. What more could you want in an afternoon out. Well worth booking a visit. Will definitely go again. Thank you.

April 21, 2024Brilliant Time & good valve for money - Really great experience and alot of fun. Staff were excellent, very knowledgable but the real stars are the Alpacas themselves.

After the feeding we had some drinks and an amazing tray bake from the little cafe van.
Overall a great day out and excellent value for money.
I had to chuckle as “Debbie” is mentioned a few times in the tour, I presumed she’s the owner but my son is convinced she’s an Alpaca, who knows!DavidAndPed

The welfare of the animals were 100% thier... read more priority and this evidently showcased. Martin knew every single name, history and behaviour of each one and there are many. He also educated us on many interesting facts and the history of alpacas.
Very well run and organises. Definitely worth doing.

We walked the lovely Kenny and learnt so much on the... read more walk from the guide. We then fed some the other alpacas carrots before ending with a quiz and browse of the little Alpaca Shack! The experience is around 90 minutes altogether and was perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon!

Fabulous experience at this hidden gem. Knowledgeable enthusiastic staff and gorgeous Alpacas. Well worth a visit especially on a glorious sunny day.
April 3, 2023Didn’t really know what to expect when my wife said she booked this, but we really enjoyed our morning, experiencing the alpacas
The farm is a little difficult... read more to find to be honest,
Martin, our guide was so knowledgable and such a really nice chap, we learnt an awful lot about these cuddly teddy bears!

Lovely, relaxed place and interactive, informative experience. Animals well cared for. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Like an alpaca encyclopedia Both loved it (Rose, 12 & me, 37!)
March 26, 2023Just been with my 3kids, 7,10 and 14 they all had a great day the guide is very informative, you are not rushed at any point. All the staff were... read more polite and helpful.
The trouble with most places like this is the dreaded gift shop adding fortunes to your day uout especially when you have more than one child. However, here they have a gift shop and I bought things as little as £1.99 so won't break the bank.
I think my kids parting comments say it all. JESSIE 7 "daddy when are we coming back"
Dylan 10 "can we stay longer"
Josh 14 "I absolutely loved that"
Daddy 39 lol "we will be back very soon"
February 24, 2023You can tell how much these animals are loved and cared for, what an amazing place.

From walking around the grounds and taking pictures with the alpacas to getting to feed the mums and babies carrots in their enclosure, it was fantastic from start to finish. Perfect for any age!

Can't recommend Alpaca Alpaca enough. Had a fab time walking the boys today, met the pregnant ladies and shared some carrots. All in all a fantastic experience for all ages.... read more You can clearly tell how much these guys are loved and cared for by all who work with them. Can't wait to go back in summer when the babies are born. Big shout out to Figaro for being the best boy.
January 14, 2023We went to Alpaca Alpaca for my husband’s birthday and, although we were very much looking forward to it, it exceeded our already high expectations! The staff couldn’t have done... read more any more to help us. Debbie was so accommodating and Martin and Amy were so knowledgeable and made the trip even more fun for us. The alpacas were so cute and easier to walk than dogs! We had such a great time and would highly recommend this activity to others. We had three generations of our family there and we all enjoyed it. We also bought lots of products from the gift shop: The Alpaca Shack! If you’re thinking about going, book it!

We were each allocated & introduced to our alpacas, took a nice walk around the field with some interesting facts thrown in by our brilliant guide, got to feed the female alpacas and some babies in another field and finished with a quick quiz at the end! An unforgettable experience, what a gem of a place in Teesside for something a little out of the ordinary.

Excellent afternoon. Fully recommend!

We had such a great time.
You start the trip off with some health and safety, then allocated your alpaca, we had Allstar who is so good with... read more kids! My daughter kept making a fuss of him and giving him strokes and he was so calm mannered.
We then went on a walk along the fields near the lake and the volunteers gave us a lot of interested knowledge about the animals. Once finished we went to return the males to the field and then we’re given a bucket full of carrots to feed the females. Just watching them running from the top of the field was beautiful.
The trip is then finished off with a quick quiz and then we had a look in the gift shop. It was a lovely afternoon and the staff are a credit to you.
We will definitely be returning
August 14, 2022What a fantastic day with the Alpacas. Lovely little setting with so many different aged friendly Alpacas. The staff are fantastic and their knowledge is excellent. We were blessed with... read more Figaro who goes at his own speed . The Alpacas are so soft natured and to be able to feed them with carrots from your mouth is amazing. Well worth the money
August 13, 2022Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful day. Wonderful, caring, knowledgeable and friendly staff.
The alpacas, llamas, sheep, cats and pig are well loved and cared for, a pleasure to walk... read more and feed them a little treat.
Will be back for another visit for sure!

Arrived to be greeted by friendly staff. We got a bit of a "scary" welcome talk (be aware the alpacas spit, kick , do not like being touched etc) then... read more got an alpaca each. The alpacas seemed quite reluctant to come out of their field. Some of them were quite frisky but thankfully didn't kick or bite anyone throughout.
The experience itself was quite disappointing, we were expecting a good 45 minute gentle walk along the river, as this is how the experience listing made it sound. However, what you get is infact is a "walk" around a large field near a river and the road. We took a very, very, VERY slow walk around the field allowing the alpacas to literally stuff themselves full of grass, whilst the guide told us everything he knew about alpacas (this is got really quite tedious after a while, we weren't the only ones in the group to mention this).
Once we finally got back to the yard and alpacas put back in their little field, we got to feed another field full of alpacas some carrots. Which I guess was OK, bit more enjoyable than the walk. The carrots got scoffed in minutes so this didn't last too long.
Then we all washed our hands and got ushered into a outdoor area to do a quiz about the alpacas and "tested" on what we had been told by the guide on the "walk"... which was a bit of a strange thing to do in my opinion, wasn't very enjoyable but at least it was a sit down.
Lastly there was a little shop, inside a very small garden shed, selling things made from alpaca wool and other alpaca related items, even some items made from their own alpacas wool which was lovely. Unfortunately the items were quite expensive, but apparently this is because alpacas can only be sheered once a year (I learned that from the quiz -haha!).
Over all the alpacas look well looked after, staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, but the experience really could be a whole lot better and certainly the walk could of been better rather than just going around a field!
I pretty much feel we have just paid a load of money to drag an alpaca to a patch of grass in a field to have its dinner, not really how the experience was described and quite misleading. Disappointing and wouldn't rush back.
August 4, 2022Took my granddaughter (12) for a birthday treat, she absolutely loved it, she said walked with figaro. The walk and talk was interesting and informative. After the walk they went... read more and fed other alpacas carrot treats, then had a little quiz. She wanted to bring figaro home but obviously wasn’t happening so we got a soft toy alpaca instead.
July 30, 2022I was bought an Alpaca sponsor / walking experience by my partner after following the Geronimo story and being quite upset by it. The place right at the... read more bottom of Leven Bank and you may blink and miss the gate so be careful not to miss it. From the first minute we were greeted by enthusiastic volunteers who set our expectations from the off and made us feel at ease.
You walk around in a group with a male Alpaca, this will be explained at the time. Unfortunately they don't take well to being touched but they did not make me feel scared at all for my safety. The Alpacas are very well cared for and are a joy to walk around whilst learning about the breed from the tour guide. You have an opportunity to feed the females later on and the guide will take pictures for you on your phones if you would like them to do so.
Very nice grounds and it is money well spent. I learnt from the guide that during Covid there were real fears for the company survival and some animals had to be sold to make ends meet. Therefore every penny counts. Well done team.
