About

A small, remote family farm on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way where you can lead gentle alpacas along coastal trails all the way to the sea — as featured on ITV's Tour de Fred.

Things to Do

Walk to the Beach

The signature experience: meet your alpaca, learn to handle it, then set off on a guided 1.5–2 hour trek through fields and coastal paths to a sheltered Atlantic cove. Some alpacas even dip in the sea. Afterwards, visit the wool workshop for a fibre-craft demo with tea, coffee, and light snacks. Ages 8+. Trails are not wheelchair or buggy accessible.

Walk to the Beach

Farm Experience

A relaxed 1–1.5 hour hands-on introduction for all ages — especially families with younger kids. Meet the herd in the fields, take a short stroll with an alpaca around the farm, hand-feed them treats, and try simple felting with alpaca wool. Great for mixed-age groups and those wanting a gentler pace. Weekends and school holidays only.

Farm Experience

Private Alpaca Walk

A personalised guided walk for couples, families, or small groups at your own pace. Follow scenic coastal trails with your own alpaca, then visit the wool workshop. Available year-round by advance reservation. Duration 1.5–2 hours. From €180 (3 persons / 3 alpacas).

Tales & Treats

A calm, cosy shorter experience with no walking required — ideal for families with very young children or older visitors. Meet the alpacas around the barn, feed them, and hear stories about their personalities over hot chocolate, tea, or coffee. A gentle introduction in a sheltered setting.
