These lovely comments are from some of visitors .....

My wife and I had a fantastic afternoon and Scrunchie was wonderful. We will definitely be recommending you to all our friends.
Best of luck for the future
SS,Stevenage

Hi Penny & Steven, just a quick note to say thank you both for a truly enjoyable afternoon we both had with you both, all the alpacas and of course Isaacs. I have wanted a walk with them for years and it was well worth waiting for. We very much want to come again so keeping my fingers crossed.
Maggi, Hitchin

I just wanted to say a big thank you for this morning, my son had a brilliant time, we all enjoyed it. Your alpacas are lovely animals all with their own characters! I can see why you keep them. I'm sure we will be back at some point.
Lisa, Welwyn

What an absolutely brilliant experience. We both enjoyed it very much and hope to return to do another walk with you soon.

Terms & Conditions

Please note the following terms & conditions regarding Yew Tree Alpacas, Alpaca Walking

We can take a maximum of 10 alpacas on the walk experience, 8 alpacas on the Alpaca Stroll. If the bookings are 4 or fewer, 2 weeks before the date, then we reserve the right to offer an alternative date or your money back.
During all walks we have two Yew Tree personnel on foot. One at the front and and one at the back of the alpacas for extra safety and security.
Children are welcome 10 -15 years. On the Walk Experience and Countryside walks they must share an alpaca with an adult, the accompanying adult must be 18 years or above. Note on the Alpaca Stroll it is possible to book one alpaca for one child 10-15yrs
Note if your booking is just 1 adult, 1 alpaca we assume you will be attending alone. If it is only you who wants to do the walk and your partner is just coming to accompany then you book the shared option and you do all the walking with our alpaca.
If you come with someone who has not booked, they should either drop you off and return later or wait in the car. There is no waiting area on site for those who have not booked.
The walk experience and Countryside walks involve a short trip mini bus trip to and from the walk location. The arrival and latter part of the event are at Yew Tree Alpacas base in Anstey. It is not possible to travel direct to the walk location or go in your car behind the minibus.
There is no discount on the two person price if a 10-15yr old child is one of the pair
All stated prices include both the alpaca part of the event and either lunch or cream tea. There is no extra to pay for the food and refreshment part. Conversely you don't receive a discount if you do not want the food and refreshment section.

You will receive automatic confirmation by email at the time of booking. Approx 5 days before the event you will receive the detailed programme and pre walk information.
Date changes cost £10 per booking up to 14 days before the date of your walk. If you wish to change the date then please contact us and we will provide you with a code so you can rebook online. This code will be for your original purchase price minus our £10 admin fee.
It is not feasible to change to another date within 14 days of your walk.
Cancellation 14 or more days prior to the event 50% refund. Within 14 days no refund.
If some or all of your group do not attend on the day there are no refunds.
If showery/light rain on the day of the visit it is likely to be going ahead. However if there are high winds/heavy rain (or other unforeseen circumstances) then we may have to cancel the visit. We will telephone/email you by 7.30am if the walk is to be cancelled. We will offer you a voucher code for the full value of your booking so you can book one of our walks in 2025 (or if you prefer a refund this will also be feasible minus an admin charge of £5.00). Please note this is only if we (Yew Tree Alpacas) have to cancel the walk.
If you decide not to come due to weather conditions and the walk goes ahead, the above does not apply, there is no refund.
Please note the duration of the two alpaca walks published. If you are a slow walker, unsteady on your feet or have an injury which impacts on your walking ability, then the walk experience and Countryside walks are NOT suitable. The alpaca stroll may be possible but you should email us to check otherwise book the alpaca adventure. You must be able to use both hands to hold the lead rope when walking your alpaca, if you cannot do this then the alpaca walks are not suitable for you.
Alpacas can be scared or surprised by sudden sounds/movement this means that it is possible your alpaca may suddenly pull or shy during the walk. This is not common/usual but it is possible. You must be confident that you have the strength to hold the alpaca if he suddenly pulls forward during the walk.
It is very important you consider carefully which walk is most appropriate for you/your group. If you are not sure and you have not walked with Yew Tree alpacas before then book either the mini or the Walk experience, you can always book the Countryside walk at another time if you enjoy your visit.
