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!
I enjoyed hearing how the farm came to be and seeing, holding, feeding, patting them all. Such cute characters. Then into the shearing shed and into the shop. So glad I did it.
I throughly enjoyed taking the kids to see the Alpaca's! Kit's talk at the start was interesting and informative and our guide was friendly, fun and also gave us alot facts! Was a really good tour and would recommend to anyone looking for an outing! The Alpacas were cute and we had a lot of fun feeding them and hanging out.
Hi Kylie So pleased you enjoyed your alpaca experience at Silverstream. We do try and make the tour a factual but fun experience and the alpacas certainly make my job easy. Hopefully you got some wonderful photographs as well. Regards Kit
We jumped onto BookMe to look at some options for activities for the school holidays dns came across the Alpaca Experience. We live in North Canterbury and had never heard of it before and both kids love animals so gave it a go. Was really sweet and intimate with a generous amount of time to hang out with the animals, plus we learnt heaps. It was the added bonus of being a beautiful sunny day so was really lovely.
Hi Gabrielle So pleased you had a great day out at Silverstream. Alpacas are such a wonderful animal and respond well to treats and good treatment from our guests. Thank you for coming to Silverstream and enjoy those memories. Regards Kit

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:)
