Description
Just 30 minutes from Glacier National Park and Whitefish, this 90-minute tour introduces you to the charming world of llamas in the heart of the Flathead Valley. It’s relaxed, educational, and unexpectedly delightful.
You’ll start with Llamas 101—learning about their Andean roots, unique adaptations, and surprising talents. These aren't just cute animals; they're smart, social, and packed with personality. Meet the herd up close, feed them by hand, and listen for their soft hums. Our guides make it easy to ask questions, engage with the animals, and get to know what makes llamas so beloved after 45+ years of working with them.
Then comes the highlight: take the lead (literally) as you walk a llama along a short, easy trail with stunning mountain views. No experience required—your guide is there every step to help. It’s perfect for families with kids, visitors curious about ranch life, or anyone looking for a low-key outdoor activity that’s genuinely different.
End the visit with a chance to sit among the herd and soak in the mountain air. Feel free to bring a snack, snap some photos, and simply enjoy the calm. Whether you're five or ninety-five, this llama tour is a breath of fresh Montana air. You'll leave with incredible photos and a chance to do something off-the-beaten-path in northwest Montana.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the llama Tour vs. the Trek?
The tour is perfect for a shorter (90 minute) experience where you get to feed and walk a short distance with the llamas. It's perfect for all ages and ideal for those with young children or limited mobility. Whereas the trek is a bit more hands on, where you'll get to form a deeper bond with the llama you lead and spend more time in nature on a 2-3 mile hike through woods and fields. After a basic introduction to llamas, learn to saddle and load them, then take a guided hike on our ranch trails with a llama companion. The trek lasts closer to 2.5 hours.
Are llamas safe to be around, even with kids?
Yes! Llamas are naturally calm and gentle, are not easily spooked or startled, and are easy to train. They also have a special knack for being careful around little people. Still, adult llamas are larger and weigh more than we do, so we have a few rules for your safety.
What should I wear?
Closed-toe shoes are required. Comfortable walking shoes are fine; Dress in layers for unpredictable weather. Mornings are usually cool, even in summer. Montana is unpredictable and this is a fully outdoor activity so come with multiple layers and sunscreen too.
Do I need prior hiking or llama experience?
No. Our guides provide full instruction and support to ensure an enjoyable experience. Ranch Trek lengths and routes are available for various skill levels.
What if the weather is bad?
In general, we operate our Llama Tours and Ranch Treks rain or shine–and sometimes snow! In the rare event we need to cancel or reschedule due to weather, we will notify ticket holders in advance. Tickets will be fully refunded or transferred to another date and/or time.
