highly recommend :) - Amazing time in a beautiful place! Damien was so knowledgable about the animals and Northern Ireland in general. Our daughter (3) loved the fairy doors, the farm cat Daisy, and naturally, the sweets at the end.

Above - The children were thrilled with being up close with the alpacas and delighted with the hot chocolate and buns. The adults enjoyed the surroundings and the tranquility of the walk....so thoughtfully laid out ....a little piece of mother nature. Thank you.

Relaxing and fun - We had a lovely relaxing experience walking with out small tour group and Mocha, our alpaca for the trek. Simple woodland walk ending at a cute little coffee converted van that served the most delicious home made cakes and drinks. Ruben, our teenage guide, was really relational, funny and quite knowledgeable about the alpacas, and we enjoyed chatting with him at the coffee stop. Would definitely recommend the tour

A must visit - Wow wow from start to finish . Damien was a great host . We got to meet all the Alpacas , hand feed them and then got to choose 2 of the Alpacas to trek with . The views and grounds were beautiful and serene. Mid way we stopped at the coffee cart but a cappuccino, hot chocolate and a delicious tray bay whilst the Alpacas Cappuccino and Latte grazed on grass in an enclosure near us. Would definitely recommend doing this and to see what else BallyBurren has to offer. Thank you Damien for a lovely experience .
