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!

牧場實在是太棒了，值得一去

羊駝很多很親人，可以抱著羊駝、撫摸羊駝；而且導覽人員介紹的很仔細，非常推薦前往參加

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！

超級可愛的羊駝們！絕對不虛此行 超級可愛的羊駝們！絕對不虛此行 超級可愛的羊駝們！絕對不虛此行

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

Upclose with Adorable Alpacas

Our family had a fantastic experience at Shamarra Alpaca Farm! Seeing and feeding the cute alpacas up close was a highlight, and Jean was a great guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions. A great experience for the whole family and bonus of such a beautiful view from the farm!
