Waretown, New Jersey · Reservations required
Hands-on farm tours, one-mile alpaca hikes, private gatherings, off-site animal visits, and a gift shop at a family-run Ocean County farm.
The farm
Out of Sight Alpacas is a family-run farm in Waretown, in Ocean County. The family purchased its first eight alpacas in 2010 and describes a herd that grew to approximately 30 Huacaya alpacas. Alpaca fiber remains part of the farm's identity, but public visits now introduce guests to many more animals than alpacas alone.
The farm's one-hour educational tour is designed around direct animal encounters. Its current tour description names mini Highland cattle, sheep, goats, mules, turkeys, giant rabbits, emus, pigs, ducks, and chickens among the possible barn companions. Separate alpaca hikes, private celebrations, school and homeschool trips, photo sessions, team events, and traveling animal visits are also advertised.
Reservations are required for all visitors. Tour openings, hike dates, group arrangements, animal availability, and event details can change; use the farm's reservation system or contact it directly before traveling.

Educational animal encounters
Reserved farm tours last one hour and give guests opportunities to meet, pet, and learn about the farm's animals. Alpacas are joined by a changing barnyard collection that the farm currently describes as including mini Highland cattle, sheep, goats, mules, giant rabbits, emus, pigs, poultry, and more.

Practical details
The farm does not advertise drop-in access. Standard tours are currently listed at $12 per person with cash or $15 per person by credit card. Children age two and under should be left off the reservation; if included, the farm says they occupy a paid spot.
Tour cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Visitor dogs are not allowed because they upset the alpacas. The farm asks guests who need its barn kennel option to make contact ahead of time.
The farm says standard wheelchairs do not move well through the sand. All-terrain chairs, strollers, walkers, and canes can be used, and one farm-friendly wheelchair may be borrowed when arranged in advance.

Compare your options
Out of Sight Alpacas is organized around reserved, hands-on activities rather than open daily hours. Its mix of one-hour barnyard tours, one-mile alpaca hikes, and private arrangements may suit visitors who can plan ahead. If you need drop-in access, a different date, or a more alpaca-focused tour, check alpaca farms in New Jersey before choosing a destination.
The farm also stands apart for traveling programs and its unusually broad collection of barn companions. Families, educators, and event organizers comparing that format with fiber workshops, breeding farms, public festivals, or alpaca-only encounters can use the alpaca farm directory to look at farms across the country.
