A Shamarra Alpaca Farm Tour is an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and personal with alpacas, learn about this loving animal, and create some memories with friends and family in a stunning location.

You’ll find your new furry friends here at Shamarra Alpacas, home to a herd of 170 alpacas in a beautiful harbour on the slopes of an extinct volcano and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills.

Shamarra Alpacas is only an hour’s drive from Christchurch, and a scenic 20 minute trip from the historic seaside village of Akaroa.

Our panoramic views of Akaroa harbour and the rolling hills and peaks of the surrounding valleys are breath-taking, and will make every one of your selfies with an alpaca post-worthy. This is no ordinary trip to an alpaca farm.

Itinerary

  • Your tour starts with a brief introduction & a quick safety briefing.
  • Next feel the incredible cashmere-like softness of superfine alpaca whilst simultaneously learning about its amazing qualities.
  • Then you will get to interact with the Alpacas, see our sustainable farming practices first hand, and learn about how we keep our adorable alpacas safe, healthy and happy.
  • Feed the mothers with their young by their side.
  • At the end of your tour, enjoy a beverage and one of our famous home-baked cookies.
  • You’ll then be able to browse the Shamarra Alpaca Shop. It’s a boutique collection of luxurious, natural and 100% dye-free alpaca knitwear made in New Zealand!

超級可愛的羊駝們!絕對不虛此行

🦙 意外的Private Tour私人包場行程~和超級可愛的羊駝們相見歡啦~~~超開心!!! 🦙 這家Shamarra Alpacas羊駝牧場位在基督城右下方班克斯半島上的Akaroa阿卡羅阿小鎮上,開車過來會經過漂亮的海港,最吸引我的就是他這片放牧地超大!可以俯瞰海港和半島對面,整個心曠神怡❤️ 🦙 很多介紹說自行開車上去需要經過很陡又窄的小路,不過我們自己開上來覺得很ok 🦙 雖然一路上天氣不佳,還下了小雨,不過我們也很幸運,一抵達就告知我們,因為天氣不好下午這場只有我們兩人~~太誇張了吧直接變private tour 私人包場行程~~ 🦙 因為包場所以和I聊了很多,對羊駝認識也大大增加!一開始先摸羊駝毛,真的好軟好細緻而且沒有味道。今年牧場剛誕生了一隻全黑的羊駝,真的超黑!好可愛,跟黑炭一樣。 🦙 在最後我們被羊駝們包圍啦,而且有點放晴又出了彩虹,會不會太幸運!真的好好玩呀(手比愛心) 🦙 結束參觀我們吃了牧場老闆娘親手做的手工餅乾,還有茶和鮮奶等等~ 一邊和我們聊天,真的收穫滿滿!

好的體驗,完美

一開始講解羊駝的特點,後面可以和公母羊駝近距離互動,同時有問題也都可以問他~是個台灣的員工,所以中文也可以通

Fun experience

We really enjoyed this experience. The alpacas are adorable! The staff here were lovely and knowledgeable too. The farm is also situated at a gorgeous location, with an incredible view. Would recommend to locals (like us) or visitors from out of town too!
