Silverstream Alpaca Stud Farm
Details
Enjoy a guided and exclusive farm tour to see the rare and highly inquisitive alpaca. One of the most beautiful and elegant animals in the world, not to mention very friendly. Most visitors simply want to cuddle these wonderful animals and take as many selfies as they can. This is encouraged at every opportunity. The tour commences with a brief safety talk, followed by some wonderful stories about our adventures with alpacas.
Visitors will be able to feed the animals, touch and handle the animals and marvel at the soft and lustrous fibre. Crias (babies) in season can be held for photographs.
