Alpaca Farm Tour

All year round at Surico

A farm experience tailored to suit you.

 You will see alpacas in a farming situation, see how friendly they are to handle and how gentle they are around children.

You can walk an alpaca on a lead. The Alpaca Farm Tour offers a display of products made from the alpacas fleece and an explanation introducing you to alpacas and explaining their environmental sustainability.

The farm walk reveals amazing views from the northern aspect of Lake Rotorua.

An alpaca visit at Surico Alpaca offers you an experience to touch alpacas and interact in a natural setting.  We can spend time as you wish at each activity.

 You can choose to drive through the picturesque village of Ngongataha only 20minutes drive from Rotorua city or take the scenic drive around Lake Rotorua only 20 minutes from the airport.

 Catering for small groups of 1 to 12 people per tour.  Because we are a real farm, bookings are required so we can be ready for you.

 Tours times;       10.00 am. - 12.30 pm. - 3.30 pm 

  $45  Adult / $25 Child [5-15]

Rotorua A&P Show 2018

Saturday 27th January is the annual Rotorua A&P show which hosts one of the longest running alpaca sections in NZ.  This year will be the 17th show.

To celebrate the beautiful range of colours of alpaca, the Rotorua show has a coloured schedule, meaning browns are judged against browns and blacks against blacks etc.  Rotorua was the first show in NZ to arrange the schedule this way and enjoys the support the breeders from accross the North Island who come to show their alpaca or just visit to see how other breeders are getting on.

A casual relaxed atomsphere makes everyone feel welcome so come along and join us this year at Rotorua Saturday 27th January.
