We had to do the llama trek when visiting TN. The llamas and alpacas are the sweetest, most docile animals. They are so much fun and full of personality. They made the best tour guides on our 1 mile hike. It’s an absolute must if you’re in the area.
– kalicelherrera | TripAdvisorWe arrived early for our walk. We got introduced to the llamas by name. They were easy going to be with. Steve treats them like pets with love and attention. The walk was easy. I found the walk with the llamas easier than walking the family dog! Thanks for a great way to see the Smokies.
– hockeymomrenae | TripAdvisorThe Llama trek was a one of a kind experience. Our guide was inspirational and the kids LOVED it. My husband was reluctant but can’t stop talking about it since. Definitely recommend!
– Erin N. | TripAdvisorWe had the best time on our hike! The kids loved walking with the alpacas, the weather was gorgeous, we were the only ones booked for our hike, and Steve was very entertaining the entire time! Highly recommend!
– jenniferpicklesimer | TripAdvisorSuch a great experience getting up close with the llama’s and alpaca’s. We didn’t have children with us but this is definitely kid friendly, as there were families there and it was safe for the children. We had a blast.

He is also known as “Dom” and loves to eat acorns in the fall.

She is fluffy and friendly. And while not a llama, she is a Guanaco—a relative animal.
Our hikes are rated easy to moderate. We hike woodland trails, so there will be some moderate change in elevation as well as uneven, rooted terrain. One of our favorite repeat customers is a person in his 80s!

We’re not afraid of a few sprinkles on our llama hikes. We run our hikes even in light rain showers. If there’s lightning, or the weather is otherwise dangerously inclement (tornado warnings, extended downpours, etc.), we’ll work to reschedule your hike.
Our llamas are professionally trained and highly socialized. They are friendly and loveable hiking partners, and are entirely safe to be around so long as you follow your guide’s instructions.
Both kids and adults love the chance to spend real time connecting to our gentle, empathetic llamas. Adults especially find that our guides offer a fun and inspirational perspective during the hike. Even our most stubborn holdouts get into it and admit to having a great time on their llama trek!
