A genuinely different Highland morning — meet, feed and walk with a friendly alpaca herd on the shores of Loch Ness.
Your Day
Pickup point — usually your hotel or a central spot in Inverness (exact point to be discussed when you book)
Private transfer from Inverness — to the alpaca farm near Dores, about 30–40 minutes each way
Meet & greet or full trek — a shorter feeding session or a longer walk to the loch shore, depending on the option you book
Loch Ness backdrop — genuinely one of the more photogenic animal experiences in the Highlands
Easy to combine — with a Loch Ness Tour or boat cruise on the same day, since you're already out that way
Route follows the actual road out to the alpaca farm, and back to Inverness.
This experience is run by a local alpaca farm, not by me directly — I provide the private transfer and can help coordinate your booking with them in advance, since spaces are limited.
How It Works
Date, group size, and which experience you'd like — via the form, email or WhatsApp.
I'll reply with a fixed price for the private transport and help coordinate any tickets needed.
A deposit secures your booking and the vehicle for your date.
Balance is settled on the day — you pay for the trip you actually took.
Good To Know

Combines naturally with Loch Ness itself, five minutes down the road
Dress for the weather — it's an outdoor, all-weather experience

There's usually a choice between a shorter 30-minute meet-and-feed session or a longer 50-minute trek down to the loch shore.
Yes — it's one of the most family-friendly experiences on offer, and a nice change of pace from a full day of driving and viewpoints.
Very easily — the farm is right by Loch Ness, so it pairs naturally with Urquhart Castle and Drumnadrochit for a fuller day.
Outdoor clothing and sturdy shoes — you'll be walking on farm and woodland tracks regardless of weather.
