Beach & Woodland Alpaca Trails
Morning Trek 10am – 11am, Afternoon Trek 1pm – 2pm
A unique trekking experience close to John Muir Country Park and the John Muir Way. Experience nature up close with these magnificent animals where you’ll have the chance to walk your alpaca through picturesque woodlands and we’ll stop along the way for some great photo opportunities. Then back to the paddock to feed the alpacas some carrots as a treat!
These excursions are best suited to over 14’s, as you’ll need to be big enough to operate the alpaca lead rope. If you’re aged between 8-14 you are able to book in with an adult.
If you have younger kids or just prefer a shorter walk, please see mini-trek and picnic time.
READY TO BOOK?
What if it rains?
We always trek when possible even in bad weather, this is Scotland after all and it tends to rain a wee bit! The alpacas don’t mind a bit of light rain, but if the wind is too strong, or if it’s pouring down, they prefer to shelter indoors! If the weather is too bad and we can’t make it out, we would contact you to reschedule. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear good footwear. Wellies are a great option!
Mini-Treks for all ages & abilities
Mini-trek and picnic time, running – 11.30am – 1pm
We offer mini treks for families of all ages and abilities at John Muir Alpacas. The idea is you come along, meet and feed the alpacas, then have a walk with them around their paddocks.
We have amazing tipi marquees too, so you can have your picnic in the tents afterwards! We don’t do the food side of things ourselves, but provide you with the picnic facilities to eat just near your furry friends! It’s a one of a kind picnic you’ll never forget.
You have the choice to bring along your own lunch, or we have a deal with The Food Hamper, Dunbar, where they can make you up kids picnic boxes for £3.50 per head, or if you fancied treating the adults to a picnic style lunch, they can make you up something very tasty for £5.40 per adult, and deliver it to you. If you wanted to have your food order customised, they’d be able to work with you to advise what’s available.
For all food orders, please call The Food Hamper on:
Daytime. 01368 865152
Please note they need at least 24 hours notice to book food orders in.
Book now to come and meet the alpacas! Lend a hand feeding them and have a go walking the alpacas around their paddock on a lead rope. After we’ve walked and learned about them you’ll get the chance to give them their favourite treats, carrots!
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
