Alpaca Walking Experience

From: £38.00

You will get your very own Alpaca to make friends with as you stroll around our exclusive beautiful countryside.

Alpaca walking is great for those of you wishing to try an activity of a different nature that takes you away from the hectic hustle and bustle of urban life. Enjoy a carefree and leisurely ninety minutes with our calm and delightful alpacas and take some alpaca “zen” home for free.

Our 90 minute walk may vary in time depending on the amount of customers on the walk, the weather  conditions on the day and the Alpacas used. Some Alpacas walk more quickly than others so this walk may not last the 90 minutes it could be longer or shorter. Please ask for more information if this is a concern.

A wonderful alternative way of experiencing the Cheshire countryside with our animals… be sure that you will want to take one home with you afterwards.

For Same Day and Midweek Party bookings please call or email.

Come down early and choose the Alpaca you want to walk with. This will be on a first come first served basis so the earlier you arrive the more alpacas there will be to choose from. Please let us know in Order Notes if you are celebrating your birthday.

If you or one of your group is having a special day then for an extra £15.00 you can have a heart put around you new friend’s neck bearing a “special message” to take away with you to cherish the memory of your special day with Oakmere Alpacas. Also included is a picture key ring of your alpaca.

If you want to bring your own picnic and enjoy it in our lovely surroundings then you certainly can do but we do just have a small cover charge of £12 for the facilities. If you pre-book it’s just £10.

Please Note: Loss, damage or failure to present a wristband will unfortunately mean that you cannot take part in your experience.

Accessibility – The walks will be trekking through fields that maybe rough, bumpy or muddy. We cannot authorise wheelchairs, pushchairs or walking aids on the walks for these reasons.

No Shows – Failure to cancel bookings which result in a no show will mean the booking is lost and no refund can be given.

Lateness – The experience begins with a 15 minute health and safety talk followed by the alpaca walk, this is a group activity and our guides will begin the walk on time, once all visitors have been handed an alpaca and leave the pen any latecomers will be unable to join the walk and no refund will be given. Please plan your journey and allow for traffic as refusal to join the experience tends to offend.

Refunds, Cancellations and Rescheduling – Minimum 48 hours (2 working days) notice from selected walk date.

Photography – During the walk we take photographs and these are then published on our Facebook page to give you the opportunity to see your experience with us at no extra charge. By booking with us we will trust this is accepted by you and all party members unless a member of staff is notified on the day prior to the walk or you contact us in advance.

Accidents – Accidents do happen, albeit very rarely. We give an extensive health and safety briefing prior to your experience and you should follow the instructions given. We cannot accept responsibility for any accidents or injuries that occur on our farm.

Physical Activity – The walk is over grassy/sandy tracks & paths. There are some hills to tackle, the pace is rather slow as Alpacas like to look around & take in their surroundings. The walks are not suitable for people with walking difficulties or very young children.

Amount of Alpacas on my walk – Alpacas are a herd animal so a minimum of 2 animals.

Weather – Our walks run whether rain or shine, sleet or snow so please dress according to weather forecasts and be prepared for our temperamental British weather!

Vouchers – Terms are applicable to bookings purchased directly. 3rd party purchases may have additional terms which will be on vouchers.

Experience Numbers – All experiences require a minimum number of attendees. If this minimum number is not met we reserve the right to reschedule your booking to the next available slot.
