Richtig schönes Erlebnis

Es war echt ein richtig schönes Erlebnis. Der Tour-guide war mega lieb und hatte echt Ahnung. Die Geschichte vom Hof war auch sehr interessant und man hat einen super Einblick bekommen. Genug Möglichkeiten zum Füttern und streicheln und Fotos machen mit den Alpaka gab's natürlich auch. Also rund um ein tolles Erlebnis. Danke!

Well worth it

This exceeded my expectations - mainly because of the host - his passion and friendliness made this (super hot) afternoon a very memorable experience:)

LOVED our visit!

What a wonderful experience! I was a bit nervous that our 18 month old would be afraid because she hasn’t been around alot of larger animals but the gentle alpacas at Silverstream made her feel quite at ease and she really enjoyed patting and feeding them. Our guide was excellent and we learned so much about Alpacas and their wool. Would 100% recommend. Definitely hope to go back again!

Well spent day

Sherly and Kit are very accommodating, and I'm happy to learn about their journey with alpacas. We had a great time feeding the alpacas and I would highly recommend them, especially to families looking to spend quality time🤍

Fun Family Day

A wonderful family day. We had a great day hanging out on the farm. Kit was a great story teller. His stories were inspiring. Nice to hang with the Alpacas , feed them and take photos. Highly recommend.
