Recently experienced this llama trek guided by Kevin, and it was a unique and enriching journey. Kevin's extensive knowledge of llamas transformed the trek into an educational exploration. This tour isn't about play—it's a slow, deliberate walk designed to help you think and observe like a llama. A truly distinctive and insightful adventure.

What an awesome experience! I will definitely do this again. I had a 7yr old & a 9yr old with me, the 9yr old was very nervous and I can't thank Kevin enough for his patience and persistence with her. The 7yr old and I loved it and highly rate the experience. This should go on the Must Do list when in Kaikoura!

This was a fantastic experience. The guide was welcoming, knowledgeable and interesting. Meeting and getting to know our llamas was a lovely experience that we will remember for a long, long time. We would definitely recommend to others.

It was really fun experience to do. Nice walk in quiet countryside environment. Llamas were really nice. Interesting to learn about them. Would definitely recommend this.

We absolutely loved our trek with these beautiful placid animals. David was great, not only super friendly but full of Llama facts. The trek took us down a lovely quiet flat track, across a small stream to a point where we had lovely views of the mountain. Never felt hurried, plenty of time for pics and cuddles with these gorgeous Llama’s. Would highly recommend this trek if you are an animal lover and in Kaikoura.

I cannot recommend this experience enough. My only regret was that we didn't have time to do the half day trek. Kevin was a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the llama, other wildlife and plants we encountered, and was even kind enough to let us play with the litter of puppies that his adorable dogs recently had. The llamas gave us lots of good laughs with all their noises and photo poses (which Kevin offered to take for us). My husband and I were lucky enough to be the only people on the taster tour when we went so we had lots of time for questions and dedicated guidance with handling the llama. The llama were very well trained, included the one I handled which was the "naughty" one. This is definitely a must do in Kaikoura!

Did our first llama trekking and in new zealand with David. Needless to say, excellent and enriching experience. Love it when its a dedicated trekking. Believed its due to winter. David is awesome. He answered all our ignorant questions and even posed us questions to enhance our understanding of llama. We also learned more about the trekking path and David's day to day experiences working with Llama. Highly recommend!

We were taken out by Kevin and accompanied by Harry and Archie the Llamas. Kevin put us both at ease while he explained to us a Llamas nature and what to be aware of, along with how to guide them and keep them feeling safe. Kevin clearly has a passion for all his animals, and their priority comes first which was really important to us. I think this is best suited for those with a genuine love of animals and learning, not for those who just want a photo and a pat (the llamas aren't a fan of being touched). In saying that, Kevin very kindly offered to capture some snaps in the middle of the trip when Harry and Archie had gotten more comfortable with us. I absolutely adored it and it felt really peaceful - I could have easily done the half day. Thank you Kevin, I hope the introduction of your dog to his babies went well!

My sister in law and I did the taster trek and we can’t recommend it enough! We had llamas, Max and Pegasus and they were full of personality and very fascinating to watch. Our guide, David was very knowledge and made our experience even more enjoyable. If you are passing through Kaikoura or just love animals, this is a must do. Don’t miss out! 🦙

My wife and I organized a last minute trip by emailing Kevin the night before our request since we were only in town for one day. Kevin set us up with David and 2 llamas for the easy and informational trek. It was a nice break from the normal touristy type things to do and we really enjoyed learning about the llamas and local area while walking with them side by side. David was a great host, very personable, and gave is some great and interesting info. I would highly recommend this tour for a nice chilled couple of hours with some llamas and some great pics.

A truly unique experience. The host was knowledgeable about the area, and is a MUST DO if you are in the area. Such a cool time with Llamas... I wish I could experience it for the first time agian

Incredible experience, very knowledgeable guide and very interesting learning about the llamas, would definitely recommend

The weirdest and most wonderful experience of our holiday. So much fun. Riding in a van with llamas was hilarious. Such beautiful and funny animals and so well behaved. Recommend this to any animal lover. I had the best time!

My daughter and I are traveling from the United States, and have never llama trekked before. We did the one hour and we fully enjoyed it. It was so much fun and I highly recommend it. Gayle

TL:DR : Awesome activity. 10/10 would do it again. Kevin (our awesome guide) gave Joey and I the vital task of Head Llama. We were now a team he said, and the survival of the herd was in our hands. I quickly learnt that for Joey this was a very real sensation and I had to get attuned to his way of thinking and observing to win his trust. Throughout the trek I really felt I got to know and become friends with this Llama, and was sad to say goodbye at the end. Kevin really did a good job at teaching us about Llama handling (animal handling in general) and their biology, history, psychology. He also gave an concise overview of Kaikoura history, giving life to the absolutely beautiful scenery. Loved the Llama. This is a must do.
