...NEW for 2008: Alpaca Experience
We have two categories of experience that we run on any day of the week. During the summer the alpaca and group experiences can take place in the evening. Whilst we can accommodate groups during poor weather, it is much nicer to attend when it is fine. We can tailor the experience to your requirements or needs.
ALPACA EXPERIENCE FOR 2 TO 4 PEOPLE
The 4 hours include:
Presentation on alpacas and their background, “close encounters” with alpacas, including handling alpacas and what is involved in caring for them
Refreshments on arrival, 2 Course lunch, an alpaca gift for each person
Cost:
€ 200.00 for 2 (€ 100.00 per person)
€ 270.00 for 3 (€ 90.00 per person)
€ 340.00 for 4 (€ 85.00 per person)
GROUP EXPERIENCE FOR GROUPS OF 6 TO 12
The 2 hours include:
Presentation on alpacas and their background, “close encounters” with alpacas
Soft drinks and a gift
Cost:
€ 25.00 per person for up to 7 people
€ 23.00 per person for 8 to 12 people
Our experience days are for adults, although we can accept young people over 12 in a group with family members. The experiences are aimed at people who want to have an enjoyable time with these delightful animals. We also run training courses for new and potential alpaca owners and we provide free training to those who buy alpacas from us.
