Meet, cuddle & bond with our curiously cute Alpacas!
A Shamarra Alpaca Farm Tour is an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and personal with alpacas, learn about this loving animal, and create some memories with friends and family in a stunning location.
You’ll find your new furry friends here at Shamarra Alpacas, home to a herd of 170 alpacas in a beautiful harbour on the slopes of an extinct volcano and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills.
Shamarra Alpacas is only an hour’s drive from Christchurch, and a scenic 20 minute trip from the historic seaside village of Akaroa.
Our panoramic views of Akaroa harbour and the rolling hills and peaks of the surrounding valleys are breath-taking, and will make every one of your selfies with an alpaca post-worthy. This is no ordinary trip to an alpaca farm.
Thanks for your great review and visiting Shamarra! We're happy to hear that you had such a great time. We hope to see you back soon!
Loved our visit! We were little nervous at first as we didn’t realise how friendly the alpacas were. Once we understood we didn't want to leave! The workers were fantastic showing us how to approach the aplacas, touch them and even which ones we can hug. We had so much fun and went away wanting to return some day. Thanks!
We hope you will come back and visit again one day! Glad to hear you had a great experience.
Great view with cute alpacas!! Highly recommended.
Thanks for visiting Shamarra!
It started raining slightly in the first half an hour and the staff provided us with raincoats. Loved that they explained the personalities of the alpacas we were interacting with. The cookies towards the end of the tour was to die for. Remember to ask for the recipe!
Glad you enjoyed your tour and our cookies! Thanks for visiting Shamarra and taking the time to write a review!

Fun experience
We really enjoyed this experience. The alpacas are adorable! The staff here were lovely and knowledgeable too. The farm is also situated at a gorgeous location, with an incredible view. Would recommend to locals (like us) or visitors from out of town too!
