This was an awesome experience! Our guide Kevin is an experienced professional and knows its way around llamas and also knows to teach you the 'way of llama'. At first, we had to gain the trust of the llamas. Later on, we could pet and even hug the llamas. Ours were called Lyric and Pegasus. We started at 9.30 am, finished at around 1.00 pm. The route was nice, very scenic, not too difficult but also not too easy. The picnic was nice, the cake tasty, the coffee strong. Apart from the joy of walking around with a furry friend, this tour is also a good opportunity to talk to a real local from Kaikoura. We got the chance to hear first hand how it is to live in NZ and Kaikoura and get perspectives, other touristic ventures won't offer.

Highly recommended and if you get the chance to do it, then book it. You...
Read moreKevin, our llama guide, was the best! On the day of the trek, he was on time to pick us up from the location. He was very informative and shared alot about his llamas. Our llamas (Harry and Archie) that accompanied us for the trek were very obedient, well groomed and fun loving. Kevin shared with us tips on how we can get the llamas to befriend us :) we can tell that the llamas were being treated really well and Kevin really love them. Thank you so much Kevin for this lovely experience. We hope that you will have fun with our fellow Singaporeans in May 😊
10/10 will recommend this half day activity for anyone heading...
