Lovely Alpaca - We had a great time taking photos & feeding the Alpaca. They give ample time to cuddle them & feed them. The staff know them by names & even know ones are friendlier for posing for photos. Great fun!
A must do activity if you have not seen an alpaca upclose.

Stunning top hill scenery with alpacas ! - Shamarra Alpacas is a must-visit for animal lovers and anyone seeking stunning scenery. The alpacas are incredibly gentle and photogenic. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, providing insightful information about these beautiful animals. The views from the farm are simply spectacular, especially during the morning or late afternoon light (around 4 pm). Booking is essential to secure your spot, as they limit visitor numbers. Just a heads-up, the road leading to the farm is quite narrow and uphill, so drive carefully!

Don’t miss this gem - One of our favorite excursions on our vacation. Our guide “I” was terrific- very knowledgeable and informative and the alpacas were really fun to interact with. The farm is also situated on a beautiful hill overlooking Akaroa, a quaint and gorgeous town/city.
The staff was also great. We needed to shift our time at the last minute and there was zero hassle!

Cuteness overload - Absolutely wonderful. Learned so much about these gorgeous animals and got to hug, stroke and feed them. The hour was the perfect amount of time, nothing felt rushed and our guide was patient and very knowledgeable.

Great for animal lovers. - A great experience for animal lovers. Got to interact with and feed adult alpacas and a few young ones. Even saw a day-old baby. Our guide, I believe named Kai, was fun and interesting. Well worth it.
