Itinerary
You’ll find your new furry friends here in a beautiful harbour on the slopes of an extinct volcano and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills. Shamarra Alpacas is just over an hour’s drive (73km) from Christchurch Central, and only a 20 minute trip from the historic seaside village of Akaroa, which is worth visiting for its culture and architecture alone. Our panoramic views of Akaroa Harbour and the rolling hills and peaks of the surrounding valleys are breathtaking and will make every one of your selfies with an alpaca post-worthy. We are open year-round, with the scenery changing beautifully through each season and the alpacas staying cute throughout. Self drive to farm or contact Shamarra Alpacas for transport providers.

Brilliant!! We would be delighted to have you visit our farm again.🦙Thanks for taking the time to review your AMAZING experience
The alpacas are so lovely. It was a great experience.
We are truely privileged to be able to interact with our alpaca everyday (and enjoy the stunning views). It's our pleasure to be able to share them with you! 🦙
Get experience and wonderfull and friendly staff
We value your 5 ⭐️ review. Our staff deliver their tour presentations with genuine passion; we're delighted you noticed their efforts
It was lovely to pet the alpacas. But there was no info on the shearing of the alpacas nor how the wool was processed. It was basically only petting the alpacas tour which was nice but would have preferred more info on the alpacas and wool processing etc. The staff is nice and there are lovely alpaca products which are nice.
Our staff would have answered your questions if you had raised them. Shearing of the Alpaca only occurs once a year and is only a small part of our yearly farm cycle which is why its not included in the tour presentation delivered at the beginning of any tour. Thanks for noticing we have friendly staff!
It was a great experience. Staff were kind and approachable.
Thank you for the 5 ⭐️ review - it's greatly appreciated.
Fun experience to get up close and personal with alpacas. The staff was friendly and helpful. They explained what to do at each paddock.
Thanks Eric for taking the time to review your recent visit to our alpaca farm. Our tour guides do deliver an informative presentation - we appreciate that you noticed their effort
It was fun, however one of the guide seems not really friendly and insist us to move while we still enjoying taking picture with the cute alpacas :)
Our tour times are restricted to 1 hour in duration, with approximately 45 minutes of interaction with the alpacas. It's unfortunate you didn't think that was long enough. We do hope you managed to capture some memorable photos with the cute alpacas.
Chinese guide is very careful! This tour includes parking spaces, so friends who are driving have absolutely no need to worry. Not only that, the Chinese guide will also help to take photos, not worry about not having a photo match with the lamb! Add cake and juice, without worrying about starving or thirsty. Cute and cute!
We are pleased you enjoyed your tour with us Zinian. Our guides are very happy to assist our guests to capture the best photos of you with the alpaca to make lasting memories. Thank you for the 5 star reveiw.
An informative tour with absolutely wonderful interaction with the Alpacas. Guides are knowledgeable, helpful and so friendly. The alpacas themselves are so placid and beautiful.
Michell, we feel privileged to be able to share our alpacas and our stunning views with our guests. We are appreciative of your kind comments and for taking the time to review your experience.
Beautiful spot, guide was so lovely and we learnt so much about the alpcas. We got to get up close with them and see all their different personalities. Great way to see the bays while cuddling some beautifully well looked after alpcas! 10/10 must do!!
Thank you Lydia for your review - we are delighted you got some cuddles in from the alpaca. They certainly do have a variety of personalities!! Our tour guides are very passionate about sharing their knowledge of alpaca and their unique characteristics.
