Question 1

Can I join an alpaca walk if I'm expecting?

Accepted Answer

We’re not medical experts, so we can’t give specific advice on this. If you’re expecting and keen to join an alpaca walk, we recommend chatting with your healthcare provider first to make sure it’s safe for you. We’d love to welcome you if it’s okay!

Question 2

Should you worry about alpacas spitting or kicking?

Accepted Answer

Alpacas can spit, but it’s usually aimed at another alpaca rather than you. They can kick too, like most animals, so it’s best to stay beside them, not directly behind them, and follow your guide’s instructions at all times. Our boys are well-trained, but a little alpaca attitude can still pop out now and then!

Question 3

What should you know before your alpaca visit?

Accepted Answer

A few quick tips will help you get the most from your visit: sturdy boots or wellies are recommended, as the farm tracks can be muddy; we walk rain or shine, so dress for the British weather; all bookings are private to your group; and the full experience usually lasts around an hour, including your safety briefing and time for photos.

Question 4

Why is a Wiltshire Alpacas trek such a memorable experience?

Accepted Answer

Because your booking is completely private to your group, you get a calm, personal experience from start to finish. You’ll also meet our characterful alpacas, including Hugo and Boris, while exploring 100 acres of beautiful Poulshot countryside. It’s a proper countryside adventure with plenty of alpaca charm!

Question 5

Can you accommodate disabilities or additional needs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we want your alpaca experience to be as inclusive as possible. We warmly welcome children and guests with additional needs or disabilities. Because the trek takes place across natural farm terrain, please email or ring us before you book so we can chat through your requirements. If you only have a small query, you can also let us know on the day, and we’ll do our best to help.

Question 6

Can younger children help lead an alpaca?

Accepted Answer

Yes — little ones can still get involved! For health and safety, children under 10 must have an adult holding the main lead rope at all times. If you’d like, we can attach a second lead so your child can help walk their alpaca safely while you stay in full control.
