Amazing Alpacas Farm Tour Experience

It was an amazing and fun experience feeding and petting the alpacas with the lovely Kit (the farm owner) and his helpful assistant, Garnet. I would rate it a 10/10 experience with my parents. We had a wonderful time and learned so much about alpacas! :) :)

Amazing experience

The family run farm visit was led by Lloyd who was knowledgeable and friendly. Kit later spoke with us and was passionate about alpacas and also really friendly. We got a ball of yarn for our friends back at home and KIt even took the time to explain about the process and hopped onto the call to ensure that our friend got what she wanted. Cheers, a ten star experience if I could rate it that way!

Hi Zane Thank you for taking the time to write a review. This is very much appreciated. We always operate the tour from a visitors perspective ie what would they want or expect and then try and meet that expectation. The alpacas certainly make our job easier and every day they offer something different. We enjoy their company even after 25 years of breeding and exporting alpacas - they appeal to your senses. So pleased you enjoyed youre time at Silverstream. Regards.

Awesome experience

Our host - Kitt was extremely friendly and genuinely made us feel welcomed and included. Managed to feed the Alpacas and captured a few photos with them. Overall, a remarkable experience.
