Gozo Alpaca Walks : with feeding and farm visit

A short walk, big animal smiles. On this Gozo alpaca visit, I love how you get a real up close alpaca experience and then finish with hands on alpaca feeding plus lots of other farm animals. The only real caution is the walk may include crossing a road, so keep close control of your alpaca guide rope and your footing.

You start at Razzett Alpaca for a quick briefing, get assigned to a calm alpaca, and head out for a slow, friendly countryside stroll. In the farmyard afterward, you’ll also meet peacocks, rabbits, turkeys, goats, and more, with photo time built in. Based on what I’ve seen from guides like Nicky and Melissa, the best part is that you’re not rushed and you learn how to handle the alpacas with respect.

Plan for a compact, one hour experience that’s light on walking and heavy on animal time. If you’re hoping for a long hike or a high energy adventure, this farm visit might feel short. If you want something warm, simple, and genuinely Gozo, it’s a very easy yes.

Key things to know before you go

• A docile alpaca walk: you guide one alpaca at a calm pace, usually 30 to 45 minutes
• Feeding time back at the farm: you get to feed the alpacas and stick around for photos
• More than alpacas: you’ll see peacocks, turkeys, rabbits, goats, chickens, and more
• Small, friendly feel: reviews highlight close interaction and a guide who’s easy to talk to
• Photo stop included: the session includes a viewpoint photo moment during the tour
• Bring a charged phone: you’ll want it for the pictures

Entering Razzett Alpaca: where the alpaca walk starts

This experience begins right at the farm, at Razzett Alpaca. You’re looking for a small wooden door with a sign on the front that indicates alpaca walks. Once you arrive, you’ll get that first friendly check in, then move straight into the essentials: a short briefing about alpacas and how to walk with them safely.

The briefing matters because it sets expectations. Alpacas are calm, but they’re still animals, so you’ll be shown how to hold and guide them, what behaviors to avoid, and how to keep the interaction relaxed for both you and the alpaca. I like that the start isn’t complicated. You show up, listen, and then you’re doing the real fun part.

Language support is also practical: the live guide offers English and Maltese, which helps if you want to ask follow up questions about animal care or daily farm routines. Reviews also mention how welcoming the guides are, including Nicky and Melissa, which is a good sign if you like personal conversation instead of just standing around.

The alpaca walk itself: 30 to 45 minutes of countryside bonding

After the briefing, you get assigned to an alpaca. Then comes the part most people book for: the slow, guided countryside walk. Expect a calm pace where the goal is connection and photos, not distance.

One reason this works so well is that you’re not “herding.” You’re guiding. That changes the vibe. You’re learning how to keep the alpaca comfortable while you enjoy the views around Gozo. It’s gentle time outdoors, and it gives you room to notice details, like how your alpaca reacts to movement nearby or how it approaches calm handling.

There is one practical consideration. One review noted that crossing a road can feel a bit scary. That makes sense: you’re focused on your animal and a driver might not expect an alpaca handler in the roadway. So go slow, stay alert, and let the guide lead on where to stand and when to move. If you’re traveling with kids or you’re a cautious walker, tell yourself ahead of time that you’ll prioritize safety over fast photos.

Timing is tight but not rushed. The walks typically run 30 to 45 minutes, and the full tour runs about 1 hour with the farm time afterward. That makes it a nice fit if you want an animal experience without using up half your day.

Back at the farm: feeding alpacas and grabbing the best photos

When you return, the mood shifts from walking to bonding through feeding. You’ll be given food and then you can feed the alpacas right there at the farm. This is a key reason the experience feels complete. A lot of animal encounters let you watch, but here you get a hands on moment that feels personal.

Feeding time is also where your photos get better. Alpacas tend to come closer when you have food, and that means more satisfying shots than you’d get from a distance. It’s also easier to interact calmly because you’re stationary. You can focus on the alpaca, follow your guide’s instructions, and keep the experience relaxed.

Your smartphone will be the star of the show. You’ll want it charged because you’ll be surrounded by photo moments: alpacas, other animals, and likely several chances to pause and take pictures. Reviews highlight how people were able to touch or hold animals in the farmyard context, which usually means the environment is friendly and prepared for visitors, not a “look only” setup.

Quick tip: put your phone on a strap or in a secure spot before you feed. You don’t want to fumble around while your hands are busy. Simple habit, big safety payoff.

The farmyard lineup: peacocks, rabbits, turkeys, goats, and more

The alpaca walk is the headline, but the farmyard is the supporting cast that turns the hour into something you’ll remember. After feeding, you’ll see a mix of animals that keeps the experience varied and fun.

Here’s what you can expect to encounter on the farm:

• Peacocks
• Turkeys
• Dwarf rabbits and baby rabbits
• Goats and baby goats
• Chickens, roosters, and baby chicks
• Pheasants
• Cats, including Tom
• And more farm animals in the same friendly environment

Why this matters: it makes the experience feel like a real farm visit, not a one trick pony. You can shift your attention from the alpacas to smaller animals like rabbits or chicks, then back to the bigger birds like peacocks and turkeys. It’s also a good way to keep kids engaged, and it gives adults a more varied set of animal photos.

The peacocks and turkeys are especially photo friendly because they’re bold, colorful, and often curious. Rabbits and baby animals bring that gentle, sweet atmosphere. Cats like Tom add a grounded farm feel, since you’re not only seeing livestock but also the companions that make a place feel lived in.

Guide style: how Nicky and Melissa set the tone

A tour like this lives or dies on the guide. You’re handling an animal, even a calm one, and you need someone who can explain quickly and then keep things steady behind the scenes.

From what people describe, guides like Nicky and Melissa balance friendliness with clear instructions. That combination makes a difference. When the briefing is easy to follow, your alpaca walk feels smooth and comfortable, not awkward. When the guide keeps an eye on safety during moments like crossings or closer animal interactions, you relax and enjoy the experience.

In practical terms, expect your guide to:

• explain how to guide the alpaca
• help you get positioned for the walk
• manage the flow during feeding
• point out interesting facts about how the animals live on the farm

Also, because the guide speaks English and Maltese, you can usually ask follow up questions if something catches your curiosity. People mention learning facts that make the animals more than just photo props, which is exactly what you want from a farm visit.

Price and time value: is 71 USD worth it?

At $71 per person for about one hour, this is not the cheapest thing on Gozo. But it also isn’t overpriced in the way that purely photo based attractions can be.

Here’s the value logic:

• You’re getting a guided interaction with alpacas, not just a pass by.
• You get both a walk and feeding, which adds real hands on value.
• You also leave with a farmyard animal visit that goes beyond alpacas alone.
• The time commitment is short. That matters on Gozo, where you might want to pack a few different stops into a day.

If your travel style is focused on meaningful experiences, this price can make sense. If you want a long outdoor activity or you’re traveling on a tight budget, you might consider balancing this with a lower cost activity elsewhere. But as an animal encounter that includes guidance and feeding, it tends to feel like a fair trade.

One small planning point: foods and drinks are not included, so don’t assume you’ll be provided anything beyond food for the alpacas. If you tend to get thirsty after outdoor time, plan your own water and snacks around your day.

Who this is best for on Gozo

This experience shines for people who want a calm, friendly animal encounter without complicated logistics.

You’ll likely love it if you:

• want an easy Gozo activity that doesn’t require lots of walking
• enjoy petting farm style encounters where you actually handle and interact
• like photography, especially when animals come closer during feeding
• travel as a couple or family and want a shared, wholesome activity
• prefer guides who explain how animal care works, not just entertainment

You might want to skip or at least adjust expectations if you:

• want a challenging hike or a full morning outdoors
• are very sensitive to animal handling, or you dislike being around animals closely
• hate any chance of road crossing while you’re focused on an animal

In other words, this is an experience built for connection, not for exertion.

Should you book Gozo Alpaca Walks?

If you’re on Gozo and you want an hour that feels cheerful, hands on, and genuinely farm real, I’d book it. The biggest wins are the combination: a guided alpaca walk, then feeding, then time with a whole lineup of farm animals. You get variety without complexity.

I’d book sooner rather than later if you’re traveling around weather sensitive days. The activity can be cancelled due to weather conditions, so keep an eye on forecasts for your chosen day and have a bit of flexibility if your schedule allows. If you do that, you give yourself the best odds of getting the calm countryside time you came for.

Bring a charged smartphone, wear shoes you can move in confidently, and go into it knowing the goal is bonding. When you treat it that way, it’s the kind of simple Gozo experience that sticks with you.
