What people are saying about
One to One Alpaca Therapeutic Session (2 sessions)
We visited recently as a family with 3 children, aged range 11 to 17. It was a brilliant day out. The staff were very friendly and our guide (Janet) was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the Alpacas. We even got to say ‘hello’ to a week old baby alpaca too. Overall a great day out.
An absolutely wonderful morning of trekking with the K2 Alpacas. So relaxing and joyful. The alpacas are just gorgeous and after a few minutes you could see their fabulous personalities showing through. Special thanks to our guide Janet who was a fountain of knowledge and to our two alpacas Olive and Pippa.
We was there for the first time and it was an exciting experience in our family life:) Thank you so much for you farm and this opportunity. Alpaca is amazing pet. Our daughter was enjoying feeding them and during day remembered with cool emotions.
I brought 2 twelve year old girls on a cold and windy day and they were thrilled. No complaints about the weather, and would have stayed all day. Very informative staff who make sure that everyone has a good experience.
Absolutely amazing time with some lovely Alpacas and very knowledgeable and kind staff! Will definitely be doing it again I had so much fun
One to One Alpaca Therapeutic Session (2 sessions) information
While technology has had a huge impact on our lives and is beneficial in so many ways, it’s no mistake that so many people have pets. Nature has through the ages grounded us and provides us with a natural de-stressor in today’s frenetic world. Alpacas who by nature are friendly and loveable are found to be therapeutic in multiple ways through by having hands on with these gentle animals. You can feel their soft luxurious fiber listen to them hum and look into their beautiful brown eyes. The benefits of alpacas as therapy animals include: Exercise Sense of wellbeing Stress reduction Emotional wellbeing Peace and tranquility. I find sitting in a field with my alpacas very therapeutic after a stressful day and I know many owners do the same.
Therapy session duration is 30 minutes.
