Alpacas on location
Professional deployment for media, events & care
Are you looking for a unique, eye-catching addition to your film production, photoshoot, or corporate event? Or are you seeking an impactful, therapeutic encounter in a healthcare facility? The alpacas from Alpacas Zeelandia are exceptionally well-suited for this.
Our animals have undergone an intensive and specialized training program. As a result, under the guidance of our experienced handlers, they feel completely confident on unfamiliar terrain—both indoors and outdoors.

Our commercial and community services
You can hire our professionally trained herd, including qualified handlers, on location for services including:
- Media & Promotion: Film shoots, TV productions, promotional films, and (fashion) photoshoots.
- Events & Celebrations: A unique addition to a wedding, product launch, or corporate event.
- Care & Well-being: Visits to hospices, care homes, support with trauma processing, or companionship during terminal illness processes.
- Business & Training: Management and leadership workshops (animal-assisted mirroring).
Filming on our own grounds? Our farm and surrounding pastures in Aagtekerke are ideally suited as a filming or photography location. Furthermore, our large barn makes it easy to construct custom stage sets.
Custom training and preparation
Our alpacas are accustomed to various scents, colors, sounds, and unexpected situations. Does your location or production bring specific challenges? Then we start a targeted training program on our farm well in advance to prepare the animals seamlessly.
A striking example of this is our collaboration with Dutch Railways (NS). To help the alpacas get used to station noises, train whistles, and approaching trains, we practiced at our farm using sound simulations, followed by calm practical training during early mornings on the platform. The result: a flawless and stress-free production day at a busy train station.
Important logistical and technical guidelines
To guarantee the safety and well-being of our animals, we adhere to strict guidelines:
- Herd animals: Alpacas are group animals. We therefore never arrive on location with a single alpaca; a small group accompanied by professional handlers always travels together.
- Accessibility: Our alpacas can navigate stairs, provided the steps are not too steep. Open stairs or steel grate staircases are not suitable.
- Elevators: The use of an elevator is possible, provided the elevator is large enough to move the entire herd including one handler in a single trip.
- Location check: We carefully assess every location in advance for suitability and safety.
