Alpaca Treks

put a smile on your face by walking an alpaca or llama

Some experiences in life are unforgettable: an alpaca or llama trek at Lilymoore Farm is one of them.

Please purchase tickets online before visiting as we frequently sell out.
Embark on the adventure of your dreams, walking alongside our incredible alpacas and llamas. We’re excited to offer both Private and Group Alpaca/Llama Treks for you to create awesome memories.
Stroll through our picturesque farm, traversing meadows and woodlands, guided by our knowledgeable staff, while enjoying the companionship of your own personal alpaca or llama. Imagine the joy of walking alongside these gentle creatures—it’s an adventure you won’t want to miss. Make your time even more amazing by adding a farm tour before or after your trek.
Located just 1.5 hours from New York City, near Poughkeepsie, we proudly hold the title of TripAdvisor’s #1 Thing to do in Pleasant Valley, NY. Our group treks are small in size, allowing each person to walk their own alpaca or llama (ages 9+). You can purchase individual tickets or bring along your entire group for an exclusive Private Trek, accommodating 2 to 15 people. Please note that access to our farm is exclusively for ticket holders, ensuring a personalized experience focused on providing you with the best possible adventure.

How many people can a Private Trek have?  We offer Private alpaca and llama treks for up to 15 people.
Do you have to be 9 or older?  Yes, we require walkers to be ages 9 or older for safety reasons.
Can I request a specific alpaca or llama? You can as long as they are one of the camelids that go on walks.  We will try to make it happen for you.  As you know, our alpacas and llamas choose whether they want to go on a walk.  They let us know if they are feeling up to doing it.  (EX:  I don’t know if they have a headache or sore foot).  So we cannot guarantee a specific animal but certainly will do our best.
Can I buy a ticket for a child and just have them walk alongside me?  No, our treks are for ages 9+.  However, younger children love our Farm Tours – this is a great option for a family to do.
Can I walk alongside?  No – each person gets their own alpaca to hang out with and believe us – an alpaca is not something you want to share.  🙂 It is a special time with an adorable alpaca and therefore we only allow one person per alpaca.   Each participant must purchase a ticket and be part of the group. 
Can a minor walk without an adult?  No, all walkers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a ticket holding adult
Can I hold a child and walk an alpaca?  For safety reasons, we cannot allow this.  Please be aware that if a minor is accompanying you when you show up for the trek you will be unable to participate in the trek and will not be eligible for a refund.
Can I bring my dog?  As much as we love dogs, there are no pets allowed on the property except service dogs.  You are not allowed to leave them in the car.  Please do not bring your dog.  If you do  you will not be able to participate in the trek and would not be eligible for a refund.
What happens if I cannot make it or am late:   If you are too late (more than 15 minutes) you will miss out on the trek.  Please plan on coming early.  See our cancellation policy in the footer of our website.  
Is professional photography allowed?  We have special programs for professionals that are not part of our treks and farm tours.  Please contact us regarding professional photography.
Can I book a private trek ?  Absolutely! We have a variety of options for private treks on our calendar.    
Can I book a Private Trek during the week? We have Private trek options on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
What should I wear?  Please wear shoes that are appropriate for walking through trails and fields such as sneakers and hiking boots. Pants are recommended.
What happens if it is bad weather? Please see our weather policy at the bottom of the website.
