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!

Upclose with Adorable Alpacas
Our family had a fantastic experience at Shamarra Alpaca Farm! Seeing and feeding the cute alpacas up close was a highlight, and Jean was a great guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer questions. A great experience for the whole family and bonus of such a beautiful view from the farm!
