Description

Take a scenic walk with a picnic in the company of a pair of adorable Miniature Mediterranean Donkeys. This is a tiny group experience, where you meet, groom & hug the dinky donkeys before popping on their little panniers to carry your picnic along the scenic valley. The total experience lasts 2 hrs, and you will have ample chance to interact with these little guys. This is a small group activity that single people can book as a join-in session with up to 4 people, or groups of 4 upwards can book just for themselves as a private session. Whilst there is no upper limit of number of people in a group booking, please contact us for rates for over 4 people per session. We regret that dogs cannot accompany this walk as the donkeys can be aggressive towards them.

Lovely few hours with Maverick and Goose

Booked a miniature donkey walk on the spur of the moment and really glad we did. Julia was so knowledgeable and friendly, but most of all you can just tell how passionate she is about her donkeys. The interaction with the donkeys (‘Maverick” and “Goose”) was thorough and involving throughout, and Julia lets you be very hands on with them both, starting with a simple groom, some basic, but important, instructions before the gentle walk down the valley. Yes, a petting zoo may be cheaper, but you get a real sense that these donkeys are living their best life with Julia looking after them, so to our family, this was far more important and enjoyable. Thanks for everything Maverick and Goose (and Julia) , a great few hours

The Best Day Out

We had the best day ever with Julia and the donkeys at Good Day Out. We spent the morning in lovely company learning to paint the donkeys then enjoyed donkeys agility in the afternoon which was great fun. The donkeys are absolutely gorgeous and funny and we can't wait to visit again.

The watercolour painting session was such fun & amazing how quickly the 3 hours went! Planning already for next year but to see you again before then. Kind regards, Julia - Good Day Out

Dinky Donkeys

We arrived a little early, there were 4 of us, Julia was there it greet us. She took us to meet Goose and Maverick who were delightful. We spent the time petting and grooming them. Julia remained with us answering questions we had and was very knowledgeable about donkeys. We even got to meet her horse Shamrock which we petted too. When it was time to leave Julia asked if we wanted to put the donkeys to bed which we jumped at the chance. We led them from the field up to their barn and put them in their pen. Julia then asked if anyone wanted to bring in Shamrock, my granddaughter was keen to do this. Julia took photos and videos of us which she sent via WhatsApp we received 19 photos and 2 videos. We had a fabulous day, and would highly recommend the experience. Dinky Donkeys make you happy x

Amoung the highlights of our time in Wales - absolutley delightful and beautiful!

Our foraging walk to the Dinky Donks was the highlight of our trip to Wales! We were a large group from age 9 to age 67 and everyone of us had a wonderful time. Our guides were kind and knowledgable, the location was absolutely enchanting and the donkies were delightful characters. We loved our experience and would recommend it to everyone. Thank you!

Operator response

Brilliant! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this kind review. We loved meeting your family and suspect watching The Dinks slightly running amok was fun for the youngsters while your more serious plantsters were able to quiz Adele about our local botany, health benefits & folklore :) Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip Kind regards Julia - Good Day Out

Such a good idea for a day out!

This was for a birthday surprise and it couldn't have been more perfect. The little donkeys, Maverick and Goose were adorable and Julia was a welcoming host for our trip into the countryside, where we all chatted and got to know the donkeys. We stopped along the way for our picnic and a drink and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Julia also took lots of photos of us and shared them with us later which we really appreciated. Highly recommended and thank you Julia, for accommodating our unforeseen lateness! Best wishes and big ear scratches for Maverick and Goose for being so well behaved.

Operator response

Hi Eliz, thanks so much for your lovely review. You'd made an outstanding effort day-tripping to us from Somerset! Luckily as you were a private group, all fine that you were late & The Dinks loved their walk with you. Hope to entice you back soon for a piggy walk, sheepdog session, or dinky donkey games :) Kind regards Julia - Good Day Out
