Gozo Alpaca Walks : with feeding and farm visit

Gozo Alpaca Walks turns a simple animal encounter into a gentle, hands-on farm morning. I like the up-close alpaca handling, especially because the experience is built around calm guidance and slow walking. I also like the add-on farm time, where you can feed alpacas again and then wander past a surprising mix of animals, from peacocks to dwarf rabbits.

The main thing to consider is that this is weather-dependent. If conditions are poor, the activity can be cancelled, and you will want a charged phone because the stop is set up for photos as you go.

Key takeaways

• A short, slow-paced alpaca walk (30 to 45 minutes) designed for bonding, not speed
• Real feeding time with food for the alpacas included
• Photo-friendly farm moments plus extra animals like peacocks and turkeys
• A guided experience with practical pointers on how to lead a calm alpaca
• Intimate feel with the chance to get very close to the animals, including in smaller groups
• Guide-led learning about how the animals live on the farm

Where the alpacas meet you at Razzett Alpaca

Your experience starts right at the farm at Razzett Alpaca, so there is no long transfer on and off the island. You go directly to the location and look for a small wooden door with a sign on it called alpaca walks. If you get stuck, you can call the provider at +35699281084.

The session is led by a live guide in English or Maltese, and you are not just dropped into a pen. This matters because alpacas can be curious and sometimes a bit bold in close quarters, and you will be guided on what to do and how to stay relaxed.

Plan for the practical stuff, too. You are advised to bring a charged smartphone, which makes sense because you will be taking lots of pictures during the walk and around the farm afterward. This also helps you capture the variety of animals you will see beyond the alpacas.

If you want a pickup or drop-off, it can be arranged, but it is not included automatically. Keep that in mind if you are planning a day with other Gozo stops, since timing is tight for a one-hour experience.

The briefing that sets expectations for a calm walk

Before you put a harness on your alpaca and start moving, you get a quick briefing. The goal is simple: show you how to guide your alpaca and how to keep the interaction calm and respectful for both you and the animal.

This pre-walk guidance is a big part of why this activity feels friendly. Alpacas are described as calm and friendly, and the guide’s pointers help you stay confident while you are walking close by their side. The walk is also slow-paced, which gives you time to connect instead of feeling rushed.

You are assigned to an alpaca, so you are not just watching from the sidelines. That up-close responsibility is part of the fun, especially if you enjoy animal experiences where you actually do something, not just pose next to something.

A 30 to 45 minute countryside walk, plus an easy photo stop

The core of the experience is your short alpaca walk around the countryside. Most walks run about 30 to 45 minutes, and the overall experience is about 1 hour including the farm time before and after.

Expect a gentle pace and lots of moments where you can look up, watch the alpaca move, and get photos without the day turning into a production. There is also a viewpoint stop built into the plan, which gives you a simple chance to pause, see the surroundings, and take pictures.

One practical consideration: you may cross roads during the walk, and that part can feel a little scary if you are cautious around traffic. The walk is slow and guided, but if you do not like close-to-road walking, this is the one element I’d think about ahead of time.

Also, because this is a farm visit on Gozo, wear and plan for typical countryside terrain and sun. You do not need hiking gear, but you do want to feel steady on your feet, since you will be walking alongside an animal and focusing on where you step.

Feeding time at the farm: where the whole experience clicks

After the walk, you return to the farm for feeding time. You get food for the alpacas, and this is one of the most memorable parts because it extends the connection you build during the walk.

Feeding does not just feel cute, it makes the interaction feel personal. During the walk, you are learning how to guide your alpaca. During feeding, you shift to a different kind of calm interaction where the alpacas come close in a relaxed way, and you get another round of photos.

This is also where the day stops feeling like a quick “thing to do” and starts feeling like a real farm visit. You will have time to enjoy the animals at a slower rhythm instead of rushing from one stop to the next.

And if you care about animal care, this is one place where the experience earns its good reputation. The animals are presented as well cared for, and the whole setup is clearly organized around respectful contact and safe handling.

More than alpacas: peacocks, rabbits, turkeys, and the cat named Tom

What I like about this farm is that it is not just an alpaca show. You come back and then see the other animals, which keeps the experience from getting repetitive.

You can expect to meet chickens and roosters, along with baby chicks. There are also peacocks and turkeys, plus goats and baby goats. Rabbits show up in multiple forms, including dwarf rabbits and baby rabbits.

There are also pheasants. And yes, there is a cat on the farm named Tom, which is exactly the kind of small detail that makes the visit feel real and lived-in rather than staged.

This variety is a big value win. You get multiple animal encounters in a short time, and you can spend your photography energy beyond just alpacas. If you are traveling with kids, this kind of mix usually holds attention better than a single-animal experience.

Guides who make it fun to learn, from Nicky to Melissa

You do not just follow instructions here, you get facts. The guide shares interesting information about how the animals live on the farm and what to expect from an alpaca during handling.

In the stories I’ve seen around this activity, the guides are especially easy to talk to. People highlight guides such as Nicky and Melissa for their friendly attitude and clear explanations, and that friendly approach shows up in the way the session flows.

That matters because alpacas are not like dogs. You cannot rely on the same instincts or body language you might use with a pet. When a guide explains what you are likely to see, and how to respond, the experience feels smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.

You also get that human touch you want from a small farm visit. The best part is when the guide keeps the tone relaxed, so you feel comfortable asking questions while still staying respectful around the animals.

Price and value for a $71 one-hour farm visit

At about $71 per person for a 1-hour experience, you are paying for an organized, guided interaction, not just a self-guided petting farm. The good news is that the time is structured: briefing, a countryside walk, feeding, and additional animal viewing all fit into the schedule.

Value also comes from what is included. Your package covers the alpaca farm visit, the walk with the alpacas, alpaca feeding, and the food for the alpacas. You are not expected to bring anything for the animals, and that removes one layer of hassle.

Foods and drinks are not included for you, so plan to handle your own needs outside the experience if you want something before or after. Pickup and drop-off are optional, not included, so if you need transport, add that to your budgeting and timing.

One more value note: the experience can feel close and personal. When a tour is set up for small groups or a calm pace, you get better interaction time with the animals and less standing around. Even if you are traveling solo, that style tends to make the experience feel more thoughtful.

Who this suits best on Gozo, and who should think twice

This is a great fit if you want a gentle animal experience that mixes a real countryside walk with hands-on feeding. It is also a solid choice if you like photography, because you get multiple chances to take pictures during the viewpoint stop, during the walk, and around the farm afterward.

Families usually do well here because you get variety, not just one animal. Kids get alpaca time plus chickens, rabbits, peacocks, turkeys, goats, and more. Even if you only want a short activity, it fills that hour nicely without dragging on.

You might think twice if road crossing would make you uncomfortable. That can come up during the walk, and while the walk is guided and slow, you still will be close to roads at points.

Also, keep weather in mind. If conditions are poor, the activity can be cancelled, so this is best when your Gozo schedule has some flexibility.

Should you book Gozo Alpaca Walks with feeding and farm visit?

If your idea of a good Gozo morning includes close animal contact, a calm guided walk, and photo moments that actually feel natural, then yes, I’d book it. The combination of an alpaca walk plus feeding plus a full farm animal tour is exactly the kind of value you want from a short, one-hour experience.

Skip it only if you need a guaranteed outdoor walk regardless of weather, or if the idea of brief road crossing makes you uneasy. Otherwise, this is one of the more straightforward, feel-good farm activities on Gozo, with guides who keep the whole thing friendly, organized, and easy to enjoy.
