Alpaca Feeding and Wildlife Animal Private Group Tour

Tour overview

The Alpaca Feeding and Wildlife Animal Private Group Tour offers a uniquely personal and hands-on experience designed for small groups seeking a peaceful escape into nature and rural charm near Ipswich and Brisbane. This full-day tour is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to get up close with farm animals, connect with native wildlife, and enjoy the relaxed countryside atmosphere without the crowds.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Queensland hinterland before arriving at the charming Haigslea EWE‑Nique Hobby Farm, a family-run property where guests are warmly welcomed with morning tea and freshly baked treats. Here, visitors will meet and hand-feed friendly alpacas, goats, sheep, and other hobby farm animals in a calm, open setting. The experience is ideal for all ages, with plenty of photo opportunities and a chance to learn directly from the owners about caring for animals in a sustainable, nurturing environment.

Next, the tour moves to the Ipswich Nature Centre, nestled within the city’s historic Queens Park. This lush, tree-lined sanctuary is home to an array of Australian native animals, including kangaroos, emus, wombats, reptiles, and birds, providing guests with a deeper understanding of the region’s wildlife. Unlike a traditional zoo, the centre offers a close-to-nature experience, with peaceful walking trails and informative enclosures designed for education and conservation.

Depending on your chosen itinerary, the tour may also include bonus stops such as a tranquil visit to the Nerima Japanese Gardens, where you can unwind among koi ponds and bamboo groves, or a tasting session at a local brewery, like the Pumpyard Bar & Brewery, which offers handcrafted beers and wood-fired pizza in a heritage-listed setting.

What makes this tour special is its private and personalised format—you won’t be part of a large group or rushed between activities. You’ll be transported in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle with an experienced guide who tailors the day to your interests. Pickup and drop-off from Brisbane or Ipswich are included, and all logistics are handled for you, so you can simply enjoy the experience.

With a perfect balance of hands-on animal encounters, serene sightseeing, and gourmet treats, the Alpaca Feeding and Wildlife Animal Tour is an unforgettable day in the heart of rural Southeast Queensland. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing nature outing, a fun family day, or a unique date experience, this tour delivers charm, comfort, and lasting memories.
