We visited as a couple and did the guided trek. After ‘meeting’ several llamas and alpacas in the barn where we petted and were told all about the animals. We took part in a short trek with two other customers and two guides. The love and care for these animals shines through the whole operation. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again in the Spring.

We had a 3 hour scenic farm trek for my wife's birthday, led by Charlotte. The pre-visit information was great and the venue, whilst remote, was easy to find following the directions given. We were welcomed warmly, and soon into the experience. Charlotte introduced us to several different llamas, explaining the differences, telling us about their backgrounds, quirks, behaviours and how they are looked after. Charlotte was interesting and informative and answered questions very well. We were matched to our trek llamas based on what type we wanted. Charlotte's choices for us were spot on. The trek was led very well, with opportunities to experience and bond with the llama, enjoy the beautiful countryside and ask more questions. We met lots of other llamas on the way and even had a complementary cuppa and flapjack on the sunshine to finish. We have done alpaca trekking elsewhere but at Nidderdale there was a real sense that the llama welfare came first which made the human experience that much better. We would highly recommend a visit and thank you Charlotte for being a great host and trek leader.

Booked the scenic farm trek for my husband’s birthday. The initial slot given by Suzanne didn’t quite work for us and she was quick to offer another that did, which was excellent customer service! We were the only ones there today, which was perfect for us as we got to have the experience exclusively. We had a brilliant introduction and met some llamas and alpacas. We learnt so much about the animals before being “matched” to our walking companions. My husband had Steve and I had Rowan and they were delightful. We then headed out on our walk which was a really nice length of time and distance. Everything was very relaxed, we weren’t rushed away at the end of the experience and enjoyed a snack and a hot drink watching some of the herd. We had the best time and would highly recommend going along to Nidderdale Llamas. The farm is so well kept and the animals are clearly exceptionally cared for. Our guide was so knowledgeable and made the our time there so worth it. We will definitely be back with our children for the junior experience.

We had a half day llama trek in the beautiful countryside. The day was perfect, with the Llamas selected to match each family member. The guides gave an informative and useful talk before we set off so we knew how to handle the Llamas and we learnt a little about their individual personalities. Everyone in the group had a fantastic day, including my husband who actually managed to stop thinking about work for once! I would really recommend this experience to anyone with a love of animals and the Yorkshire Dale's.

Looking for a very calming experience then this is the place for you. Fantastic half day trek with two excellent young ladies, both very knowledgeable and passionate about the llamas. All the information given was first class as was the trek with these marvellous animals. Fabulous time, not to be missed.

We try to trek with the Nidderdale Llamas at least once a year and today we enjoyed a half day trek. I absolutely love trekking with the llamas. The stresses of everyday life just seem to melt away and I'm sure I'm smiling from ear to ear for the whole trek. The team at Nidderdale obviously love all of their animals and make the treks even more enjoyable. We're looking forward to returning later in the year for a full day trek. If you're an animal lover and want to try something a bit different you should definitely book an experience with the Nidderdale Llamas.

When l booked my place on a half day trek with Suzanne, l explained that l would be treating the experience as a form of bereavement therapy, since my partner of 33 years , ERIC, had died 3 months previously. Then l asked her if any of the llamas was actually called Eric. Suzanne replied that No, none of them was called ERIC, but having heard my story, she was minded to give that name to one of the next babies to be born on the farm. When l arrived on the day, Suzanne greeted me warmly, and told me that she had named one of the latest babies born : Eric ! Naturally, l was overjoyed and shared the good news wirth the other members of my group. Eric was prancing about energetically in the field below, and turned out to be a cute white baby llama with a black face. So, thank you so much to Suzanne for such a kind, generous gesture. I then enjoyed a lovely trek with a beautiful, calm, gentle llama called LLOYD....we got on so well. Emilia and Charlotte were excellent leaders, and l can only agree with other contributors that this is a unique and unforgetable experience, that l can recommend to any one.

Had the best time, Eva and Miracle were the absolute best on our little walk (although a bit stubborn, but that's all part of the deal). Good job Delilah on her first walk today as well!! Madonna and Pippa definitely enjoyed the scratches.
