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!

From Shamarra Alpacas - Cuddle our Alpacas Guided Tour
Thank you Petranella for your review. We are delighted you enjoyed yourselves at our farm and found the presentation from the tour guide informative. I do believe our alpaca have some of the most scenic views in the world, looking out over the Akaroa Harbour. Do visit again sometime soon!

Great place to get up close with alpaca!
Great place to get up close and pet Alpaca on a beautiful farm. Guides are friendly and will let you hand feed the alpacas. The green hills and Akaroa harbour do make a beautiful backdrop.

Thank you Gihana for your review of our farm tour. We are delighted you enjoyed being able to hand feed our friendly alpaca 🦙. I'm sure the alpaca enjoy the views from the farm as much as our guests do!

Well worth it!
Great location and not only did we get to experience the alphas we learnt alot about them with the guides who are super friendly and knowledgeable. Not just a quick experience we got to know them and find out their quirks. Highly recommended. Bit of drive from Christchurch but beautiful!
From Shamarra Alpacas - Cuddle our Alpacas Guided Tour
Sarah, what an amazing photo - Patrick is often so messy with hay all over him!! We are delighted you enjoyed your tour with us and found the presentation from our tour guides informative. The alpaca certainly do have their own personalities and quirks which just makes them more adorable. Thanks for the 5 star reveiw.

Worth every dollar
This experience is absolutely amazing! The tour guide was so knowledgeable. You can’t have this experience anywhere else and especially with that sort of view as well. You also get tea and coffee and biscuits at the end. Highly highly recommend as you get to pet and feed the alpacas.
