Walking with llamas in Zeeland
Year-round | Ages 16+ | Duration: 1–1.75 hours
Discover Zeeland in a unique way during a relaxing walk with your very own llama. These friendly and curious animals love to join you on a hike through nature. Along the way, they like to take their time for a bite of grass, a brief sprint, or a curious exploration of their surroundings.
Of course, there is plenty of opportunity to take photos of you and your walking buddy, and we are happy to help capture a great group photo with all the llamas!
September 1st – March 29th
Beach & Forest Walk
During the autumn and winter seasons, you will walk alongside your llama through the beautiful nature surrounding Westhove Castle. The route leads through the woods and along the beach, allowing you to enjoy Zeeland’s varied coastal landscapes.
April 1st – August 31st
Walk with a visit to the Alpaca Rescue Center
During spring and summer, you can combine your llama walk with a visit to the Alpaca Rescue Center. Discover everything about alpacas, their care, and the rescue mission on our alpaca experience path. A visit to the center takes about 60 minutes and makes a wonderful addition to your walking experience. Check our current opening hours in advance to plan your visit around your walk.
Important to know

The weather on the Zeeland coast can change quickly and is often cooler and windier than inland. We therefore recommend wearing wind- and waterproof clothing. Additionally, choose high rubber boots or sturdy shoes that are allowed to get wet.
During the walk, the llamas regularly step into the water. Depending on the conditions, the water can reach up to your knees. To be safe, bring a towel and a set of dry clothes, socks, and shoes for afterwards.
- 👥 Minimum participants: The walk takes place with a minimum of four participants.
- 🌧️ Weather cancellations: For the safety of both people and animals, a walk may be cancelled in the event of strong winds (from 5 Bft), heavy rainfall, snow, thunderstorms, hail, extreme heat, or exceptional crowds in the area. If this happens, we will inform you by 8:00 PM the evening before via email or phone. (Please note: when we call, we use an anonymous number).
- 📱 Social Media Updates: We also recommend keeping an eye on our Facebook page. In case of unexpected weather changes on the day itself, we always post the most up-to-date information there.
