Where to enjoy an Alpaca Walk in Hampshire 2024
We have only been alpaca walking once but it was such a nice, relaxing and unique experience and something we really enjoyed doing as a family, making memories that we could treasure forever whilst having quality time together. Alpacas are such beautiful, gentle animals and an alpaca walk is such a fun activity in the great outdoors too.
Since then I have been looking for more alpaca walks locally and alpaca experience days that we can book as family experiences or to give as gifts. Alpaca walks make wonderful gifts for all ages and for any special occasion. Plus, many gift experience websites have alpaca walks and also have special offers at various times of the year.
What is an alpaca walk?
An alpaca walk is exactly what it says – you get the chance to walk an alpaca. Alpaca farm experiences vary but you usually have one alpaca between 1-2 people and there are often other animals on the farm to meet. This could be just farm animals or things like meercats and other animals with their own feeding or handling sessions available to book.
I thought I would put together all the alpaca walks in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to give you some inspiration for a day out or gift idea. I’ll add more as I come across them too.
