Alpaca High Tea in Zeeland
Year-round | Ages 10+ | Duration: 1.5 hours
Take a seat and let yourself be surrounded by Zeeland’s softest islanders! During our Alpaca High Tea, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to meet our animals up close. While you enjoy a cup of tea, the alpacas wander peacefully between the tables, curiously sniffing around.
Our female herd adores the attention, and the alpacas from our Rescue Center learn in this friendly environment that people are wonderful. You are welcome to gently stroke their necks or backs, feed them treats, and of course take photos together! Meanwhile, we will host an educational introduction to tell you all about them. By the end, you’ll know everything about their lifestyle and unique traits, as well as the special stories of our rescued alpacas.
Our high tea includes unlimited coffee and tea alongside a delicious mix of savory and sweet treats, including warm quiches, mini sausage rolls, cheese pastries, mini pizzas, cream puffs, petit fours, brownies, and authentic Zeeland bolussen (cinnamon pastries).
Important information: Unfortunately, we cannot make adjustments to the menu for allergies, intolerances, or specific (vegetarian/vegan) diets.

Important to know
- ⏱️ Arrive on time: We start strictly on time. Please ensure you arrive 10 minutes before the start of your activity. If you are late, you unfortunately won’t be able to join, but the payment obligation remains valid.
- 👥 Registration: Anyone who would like to come along must be registered in advance as a participant.
- 🐶 Dogs: As much as we love animals, dogs are unfortunately not allowed during this activity.
- 🍽️ Dietary requirements: Because our catering is sourced externally, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate allergies, intolerances, or special dietary preferences (such as vegetarian or vegan diets).
- 💶 Payment: At the rescue centre, payment can only be made in cash.
Alpacas are incredibly gentle, but they remain prey animals that require a calm environment. To maintain peace and ensure everyone’s safety, we enforce a strict age policy.
- Minimum age (Ages 10+): Our High Tea is strictly accessible to children aged 10 and above. Children aged 10 to 14 are very welcome when accompanied by a paying adult, provided they are able to remain calmly seated throughout the high tea.
- Why no younger children? Alpacas can easily be startled by sudden movements. Additionally, there is no space in the area to walk around or crawl. If an alpaca is accidentally touched near its hind legs, it may kick. While harmless to an adult, this can be dangerous for a small child. Children under 10 years old will therefore unfortunately be turned away.
- No babies: Although it sounds idyllic, a crying or restless baby causes stress for the alpacas and disrupts the atmosphere for other guests. Babies can therefore unfortunately not attend.
- Minimum number of participants: The Alpaca High Tea takes place with a minimum of 4 participants (these can be across different parties).
- If the activity is cancelled: In the event that there are not enough participants, 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).
