Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a day with alpacas? If you have, then this is the daytrip for you! The Flying Alpaca has a farm full of friendly alpacas waiting to spend the day with you or your family.
Open all year round, The Flying Alpaca is an unique stop along the Wild Atlantic Way that you should consider adding to your list of adventures while in Clare. Based in Kilkee, Loop Head will be your backdrop as you walk, pet, feed, and even cuddle the alpacas that hold residence on the farm created by Barbara and Michele.
If you're curious about the alpacas, but don't want to get too close, then the meet and greet package would be perfect for you. For 30 to 40-minutes you'll have the chance to feed these gentle creatures, capture precious moments with photos, and even pet them. It's an incredible opportunity to bond with these adorable animals while creating lasting memories for the whole family.
For a more hands-on experience, the alpaca walk is what you should do. Meet the friendly alpacas and choose the one you connect with to take on a leisurely alpaca trek around the farm. Barbara and Michele will share their knowledge about the fluffy and cheeky creatures during your relaxed walk as you learn how to handle and interact with the alpacas safely. The trek is suitable for all fitness levels and is available to children over eight-years-old.
The full alpaca experience is ideal for those who are willing to fully immerse themselves in the life of the farm. You will still be able to walk, cuddle and interact with the alpacas, but with an added bonus of meeting two unique alpaca breeds - the Huacaya and the Suri. Suri alpacas are particularly uncommon in Ireland, making this experience truly special. After the trek, Barbara will demonstrate how they hand-make alpaca wool, from raw material to spinning wheel.
Don't miss out on one of the best things to do near Loop Head and book your alpaca experience today with The Flying Alpaca before you set out on your Wild Atlantic Way journey.
