Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for proposals?
Absolutely! We've had several romantic proposals during our alpaca walks. The countryside setting is beautiful and our staff can help make it extra special. Just let us know in advance!

What if it rains on Valentine's Day?
We walk in all weather conditions! Rain actually makes it more romantic and cozy. We'll only cancel in extreme weather for safety reasons.

Can we bring our dog?
Unfortunately, dogs cannot attend alpaca walks as alpacas are naturally nervous around canines. However, dogs are welcome in other areas of Itchen Valley Country Park.

Do we have to share an alpaca?
Couples typically share one alpaca (£51), but you can book two alpacas if you prefer (£98 for 4 people, 2 alpacas). We recommend sharing - it's more intimate and romantic!

Is this awkward for new relationships?
Not at all! Walking alpacas is fun and creates natural conversation. Many couples on their first few dates tell us it's the perfect low-pressure, fun activity that creates great memories.

Do you offer private Valentine's walks?
Yes! Contact us on 0333 050 4012 for private Valentine's walks - perfect for proposals or intimate celebrations.
