Fewer things on the planet are as cute as a furry, fuzzy alpaca. And, while we might be biased, the alpacas in Maine are probably the most delightful. While there are quite a few alpaca farms in Maine, there's one in Southport that offers a unique alpaca adventure. Cape Newman Alpaca Farm in Maine lets guests take a hike with a pack of alpacas. This Maine alpaca hike is the perfect activity for animal lovers you know - or just folks who want to do something unique in Vacationland.
In Maine, we spend most of winter waiting for warmer weather to arrive; and when it does, we all want to be outside as much as we can. But over time, the same outdoor activities can start to feel repetitive.
That's exactly why you're going to want to add this unique experience to your must-do list for the warmer months.
Cape Newagen Alpaca Farm in Southport , Maine, specializes in apparel, accessories and housewares made from home-spun alpaca yarn.
Visitors can also purchase alpaca yarn for home use, or take crafting classes to learn how to create sweaters, rugs, and other items from alpaca yarn. You can also come here to learn what it takes to raise your very own alpacas.
While leaving with custom-made goods is wonderful, it's Cape Newagen's Alpaca Treks that really make this place extra special.
Throughout the season, Cape Newagen offers one-hour hiking journeys with alpacas. Hikers will trek through Cape Newagen's farm grounds and around the surrounding area.
The experience is something the whole family can enjoy together: it's unique and fun for adults, and incredibly accessible and interactive for kids.
The unique, one-hour hiking experience allows visitors the chance to get up close and personal with these gentle creatures, while also learning about them in a lovely farm setting.
The experience includes walking, feeding, and snuggling with the alpacas. Groups are limited to a four people maximum, in order to make this a personal and comfortable experience.
Call Cape Newagen Alpaca Farm to check the hiking schedule, as it varies by season, with extended hours in the warmer months.
