Get a breath of fresh sea air with our alpacas
Year-round | Ages 10+ | Duration: 1–2 hours
Stroll along the Zeeland coastline with your feet in the sand and a gentle alpaca by your side. Our animals absolutely adore the beach! They love the crisp sea breeze and every now and then leap joyfully through the surf. Will you join us?
We adapt to the peaceful rhythm of the alpacas as we wind through the dunes and along the shoreline between Domburg and Westkapelle. Along the way, there is plenty of time to ask questions and take stunning photos with the ocean as your backdrop. During this relatively active trek through the dunes and sand, you will lead the alpacas yourself. Because we swap handlers along the route, you’ll get to meet different personalities. There is more than enough time for selfies and a lovely group photo, which our team will happily take for you.
Make your day complete
Combine with the Alpaca Experience Path
Looking for even more alpaca love? On days when our Alpaca Rescue Center is open, you can seamlessly pair your beach walk with a visit to our farm.
Walk along our interactive alpaca experience path (approx. 60 minutes), meet our residents, and learn all about our mission. By visiting us, you directly support the rescue and care of alpacas in need!
Tip: Check our current opening hours in advance to plan your visit around your walk.
Important to know
⏱️ Arrive on time: We start promptly. Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes before the start of your activity. If you are late, the walk unfortunately cannot wait, and the payment obligation remains valid.
📍 Starting location: Please check carefully in advance where you need to be. Does your walk start at the farm? You will drive your own car behind our trailer to the beach (and back).
🅿️ Parking: Please note, paid parking applies at the beach from March 1st to October 31st.
👥 Participants & Age limit: We walk with two participants per alpaca. Anyone taking part in the walk must be registered. The minimum age is 10 years old. Children aged 10 to 14 must always be accompanied by a paying adult.
♿ Accessibility: The walk is unfortunately not suitable for dogs or for individuals with reduced mobility.
🚭 Smoking: Our entire site is non-smoking.
💶 Payment: Payments within the rescue center can only be made in cash.
Our alpacas adore the sea and love walking through the water all year round. Because we adapt the walk to what the animals enjoy, there is a high chance your feet will get wet. If you are not dressed for this, you may not be able to lead an alpaca for part of the walk.
Always bring:
- Clothing that can take a beating (dress in layers—it gets windy on the coast!).
- A complete set of dry clothes, socks, and shoes for afterwards (leave these in the car).
Seasonal tips:
- 🍂 Spring / Autumn / Winter: High rubber boots, a wind- and waterproof jacket, and a warm beanie or hat.
- ☀️ Summer weather: Shorts, water shoes, sunscreen, a cap, and a bottle of water.
- Minimum number of participants: The beach walk takes place with a minimum of 4 participants.
- Bad weather or extreme heat: In the event of thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, hail, extreme heat/crowds, or a weather forecast of 5 Bft or higher, the walk unfortunately cannot take place.
- How we inform you: If we need to cancel the walk, we will try to let you know by 8:00 PM the evening before via email or phone (please note: we call from an anonymous number).
- Last-minute changes: Zeeland weather can sometimes change unexpectedly on the day itself. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for the latest updates.
“An incredible beach walk”
Prior to the walk, we received clear instructions on how to handle the leashed animals. The guides were knowledgeable, caring, and attentive. Afterwards, we returned the animals to their pastures and learned a lot about their care and behavior. Highly recommended!
“A special experience!” Our team of colleagues had a wonderful afternoon at the beach with these cute creatures. Thank you for this special experience!!
“Wonderful!”
Warm welcome, delightful walk, and plenty of opportunities for photos and questions. Will definitely return again!
“Well worth the drive!”
Booked a walk with the alpacas on Sunday morning. It was a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it! Sweet alpacas that walk calmly and love taking a quick sprint when they see the water. So much fun! The caregivers/guides were very friendly and passionate. We will definitely come back! 🤩
“So wonderful to see”
It was a really fun experience walking with the alpacas on the beach. You can tell the guides truly care about the animals. So heartwarming to see. We stayed in a cottage right next to the pastures where the alpacas graze—highly recommended. We had a great few days!
“Great and relaxing”
The walk was wonderful and relaxing! The alpaca handlers were kind, sweet, and welcoming. Such a beautiful, peaceful place!
“An absolutely amazing experience”
We were able to enjoy a peaceful walk matching the natural pace of the animals. Getting so much time with them really allowed us to build a bond by the end of the walk. Fantastic!
“Unforgettable experience! 😃”
Had a super fun beach walk with the alpacas near Domburg. We surprised our mom for her birthday and it was top-notch. Welcomed at the farm itself, and after a brief intro, we drove to the beach. 🏖️
“A super fun experience!”
I loved it so much—walking with the alpacas through the dunes and on the beach. Such sweet and playful creatures! All the staff were extremely enthusiastic, kind, and genuinely cared for the alpacas. One of the best outings I’ve ever done—definitely go!
