We went a 2 hour llama hike with Sandy & her llamas and it was so fun! The llamas are all very sweet and everyone gets their own llama to lead. There were plenty of opportunities for photos and time to pet & hang out with the llamas. A very unique trip we won't forget.

We had a wonderful walk in the woods w/the sweetest llamas in the most beautiful setting! From booking on the process was made smooth w/the great communication of Sandy. Sandy even took pictures for us so we could just enjoy the time w/the llamas. 100% worth it and plan to go back anytime I'm anywhere near the area (we drove 3 hours out of our planned path to do this and it was worth that extra drive). Just book it! Thanks Sandy!

My family of four went glamping and hiking with the llamas at The Wandering Llamas. The glamping tent was comfy and adorable! We brought a second tent for our two teens. The 2 hour hike was beautiful in the Cherokee National Forest. There were ten people in our group all together and everyone had a llama. The baby llama was adorable, and the other llamas were unique and beautiful with names and personalities to match. It was bucket list good!

This was a great family experience! We tried out the glamping tent the night before our hike. We really enjoyed the fire pit. The tent is well appointed with everything you need; so cozy and comfortable. The hike had beautiful views and Sandy is an excellent guide! The llamas are super sweet and we are already planning to return in the fall.

My wife stumbled across Wandering Llamas while researching things to do during our annual spring break adventure. We spent two nights in the fox den treehouse which is located in one of the llama pasture areas. The "treehouse" is a elevated wooden shed like structure that has been refurbished into a pleasant little hideaway in the Smoky's. The treehouse has a nice deck to sit and enjoy the mountain view. There's also a nice swing chair and firepit to enjoy as well. The treehouse has electricity with a small electric heater to take the chill out. The treehouse was very clean and the bed unbelievably comfortable. The treehouse is a one and only. If you are renting here you have the treehouse and llamas all to yourself. The property owner and host (Sandy) lives on the property and is available if you are in need of anything. Sandy is very personable and will spend time sharing of herself with her guests. On the llama walk each person usually gets there own llama to walk with. Sandy accompanies you and can answer any llama related question you may have. The walk is at a very leisurely pace and lasts about two hours. The llamas are easy to walk and well behaved. Contrary to popular opinion of some the llamas did not spit at one another. One thing to be aware of if staying in the treehouse is there is no running water and only a fancy bucket of a toilet in an outhouse under the treehouse. This didn't bother us, but for some that don't care for "roughing it" I could see it as a drawback. (There is a gas station about a mile away that we used the bathroom at. We are members of the YMCA at home. There's a Y a few miles away and with the Y reciprocity program we were able to go there to take a hot shower. The Wandering Llama was an awesome get away experience for us and Sandy is a great host. We appreciate her sharing her llamas. read more

A super fun, unique outing if you are spending time in the Smoky Mountains, about a 1.5 hour drive from our cabin in Sevierville. We booked the 2-hour wine and cheese tour because it was the only tour that had open spots left (we booked about a week ahead). We skipped the wine and cheese part due to our concerns about COVID (the food is served in their open gazebo, so it's relatively safe - we just prefer taking extra precautions and had already eaten lunch just before we got there), but the llama hike alone was well worth it. The walk, about 1.5 hours total time, is along the gravel road, which is a little hilly, but manageable if you're fit (not so much if you have small kids that don't do a lot of walking). Most of the time was spent relaxing in an open field - very socially distant from the other eight people in our group - where we fed the llamas and took lots of pictures. The llamas are super friendly and so soft! Though Sandy (the owner) provides animal crackers and strawberries for the llamas to enjoy during the middle of the hike, definitely bring your own -- we brought graham crackers and sliced apples to feed them throughout the walk, and the llamas LOVE to eat! Sandy is very friendly and welcoming and took pictures of everyone during the hike, which she emailed to us later. A great highlight of our trip! read more

This is the best reason I have ever had to go to Tennessee! We wandered up and down the hills and through the trees until we reached the top of a hill with an amazing view. The llamas carried everything we needed to have a great lunch of wine, cheese, olives, crackers, fruit, etc. !!! I love that it wasn't just a basic spread of stuff from Walmart like we were expecting. It was the first time I've had bleu cheese cheddar and it was so good! It was nice that we had chairs and even a table that folded out for all of us to sit around and relax. All of the llamas had their own wonderful personalities and I was surprised at how smart and sweet they are. They don't spit at people either! Just make sure you follow the directions to get there instead of using GPS and if you don't like peeing in the trees make sure to go before you show up! read more

Had a lovely trek with Sandy and the llamas today! We contacted through the website and reserved the 2 hour trek in the Cherokee National Forest. It was such a unique experience. Spending two hours walking with those beautiful animals was such a delight. Sandy was a great host and explained how to handle the llamas and things to look out for on the trail. We stopped halfway through to feed them graham crackers and it was a highlight for sure! We'd love to go again and would recommend it to anyone looking for something nice to do around Tennessee / North Carolina. read more

This was a truly unique experience that I am happy to have stumbled upon during my Google search for the best hikes in the Smokey Mountains. Lovely, calm llamas mixed with a scenic, light hike! My partner and I usually keep to ourselves during our trips, but we sincerely enjoyed our experience with Sandy and the four other guests that day. The trek was a reasonable length and we shared a nice lunch at the top. Be sure to bring your own food, and if you have some nice, carb-y leftovers you might be able to share with the llamas (who definitely deserve it, especially for carrying the table/chairs during the trip)! read more

This was the best experience ever! This is the only reason we traveled 9 hours to TN was to tour with the Llamas and it was well worth it. Sandy was a wonderful guide, she was very helpful from the moment I booked until after we left. She also was sweet enough to take photographs during our trek (we were so busy having fun we did not take many photos) and she email them to us before we even arrived home from vacation Thanks Sandy for the best vacay ever. read more

A must do adventure!!!! You HAVE to add this to your outdoors experience!! We did the Hobbit Trail in the Cherokee National Forest. The trail is simply gorgeous with many small waterfalls along the way and tons of butterflies floating around. The few water crossings are so fun and add to the experience. The llamas are the best hiking buddies ever!! They are so obedient and soooo sweet. They hike along beside you and make for great company One llama named Flash is always on guard looking for bears and protecting his llama and human family!! This is an adventure that is suitable for all ages and abilities. It is therapy both for the mind and body. You can't help but walk away feeling happy and plotting on adding a llama to the family one day. Sandy is the best! She is such an amazing woman and takes the best care of the llamas. She is so fun to be around!! Her experience in this arena is golden! We can't wait to take another hike with Sandy the llama mama and the llamas! We fell in love with them all!! read more

History

Established in 2018.

Ive been in the llama trekking business since 1999. I do llama trekking, event hikes, presentations, weddings, parties, llama training, llama shearing and rescue.

Meet the Business Owner: sandy S.

Sandy fell in love with the Smoky Mountains after taking a few trips to hike in the mountains of Tennessee. She was originally born and raised in Connecticut and it reminded her of her childhood. After living in the big city of Miami for 18 years, Sandy longed for the four seasons and mountains again....so she packed up and left the city life behind. A natural lover of animals, Sandy soon discovered llamas, and the rest is history! The love of llamas and hiking merged together and Sandy has been offering llama hikes for over 25 years! She guarantees a fun, exciting adventure and a new love for llamas for your whole family!

The 65 foot high big falls is spectacular. It is not a straight fall down. Many deaths have occurred as visitors attempt to dive from the top of the falls. Elk falls ranks in the top 3 waterfall related deaths. The rocks surrounding the first pool are beautiful but have a slippery surface. This park recently reopened after extensive restoration following Hurricane Helene. On the first day it opened there was a fatality of a falls jumper.

Usually when my husband and I are hiking I'm happy our kids aren't with us because I knew they would be complaining. However, this was one hike that I think they would probably enjoy and saw many families with big and little kids enjoying it. It's a pretty short way to the top (maybe 25 min tops) and while it was a nice little workout I didn't find it too difficult. The reward at the is a beautiful view of Asheville and the first thing I heard when we got up top was an adorable 4 year old boy saying "wow this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." It was picture perfect so we snapped some pics, enjoyed the view and headed down.

The Sinks is a lovely waterfall along the river. There is a small parking lot with about a dozen spaces where we found parking. An observation area is a short walk from parking. A sign describes the area and that the falls were manmade. During the late 1800's the river was used to transport logs/timber to the nearby town of Elkmont. After a storm, flood waters caused a jam in the river. Dynamite was used to restore water flow. The blast resulted in a twist in the river and creation of the waterfall. A set of stone steps leads up a hill, offering lovey views of the falls. There are dozens of waterfalls in the Park. Sinks is one of the few that is drivable, which is great for people that cannot hike. I picked up a Waterfalls map at the visitor center that I found interesting and informative.

It is a great ride in the hotter months because of the higher elevations. For him, it is a great ride through both the Pisgah and Cherokee National Forests just getting to this lake. I love the ride because I love the water views with the mountains in the background at this lake. I have posted a couple of photos. There are actually a few parks around this lake however this particular one seems especially nice. I have seen small boats on this lake but never noticed any water sports such has water skiing. I imagine the water is probably too cold for that even in the summer. So that being said, it is a very quiet lake. We love boating also and are considering a pontoon for this lake. The park has the basics -- restrooms and picnic tables. We generally just stop for a picnic lunch. Cannot beat the views for lunch. I recommend this park for a picnic, or a solitary quiet time, or a romantic day trip to just name a few suggestions.

While we were there a summer camp or daycare came through with 50 kids who were well-behaved, but they took over the amphitheater area and most of the fountain. We ended up leaving because it was just too crowded.

This trek was one of the best experiences of my life! Sandy and her beautiful llamas led us on an amazing hike on the Hobbit trail in Cherokee National Forest. My hiking partner was Jambo, who was just the softest, sweetest thing. It was an easy trek, and we crossed a few streams which cooled us off nicely. We walked for about an hour, and then we made it to a beautiful clearing where we spread out blankets and our yoga mats. We were led through a beautifully mindful yoga class by Alicia, our instructor. There is nothing more peaceful than having all of your senses engaged while becoming one with nature. You can feel the breeze flowing over you, smell the trees all around you, hear the running water of the creek behind you, and see and feel the warmth of the sun shining down on you. After spending a few moments in the most blissful Savasana at the end of class, we spread out our delicious lunch that the llamas so capably carried for us all. After lunch we packed up and made the hour long easy walk back. There are even bathrooms along the way just in case you need them. Do your senses a favor and experience this unique trek!!! read more

I love all animals, but llamas especially! I had been following Sandy's llamas on her Facebook page for a while and couldn't wait to finally get to hike with llamas. The experience did not disappoint!! The hike was beautiful and the llamas were so gentle and sweet. It would be a great experience for families as long as your children can be respectful of animals and hike for three hours without complaints. I love kids, but had there been a crying, rude, or complaining child it would have completely ruined this experience for me and the others involved. Sandy REALLY cares about her llamas and takes great care of them. You can tell they are happy and healthy. The Llama lodge was so cozy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable!! The llamas are 10 steps away from the tent which was awesome! There's nothing like waking up and getting to feed llamas fruit at 9 in the morning!! If you're on the fence just go!! It was a great experience. read more

If you want a unique and LLAMA-zing experience on your vacation or day off and don't want to do the typical "toursy" items then this is for you! Sandy is an awesome tour guide who takes you along with the most full of personality llamas you have ever met on 2-hour treks (depending on the trek you choose) and gives you an experience to talk about for days to come. My daughter and I were have a mother-daughter vacay and wanted to do something out of the ordinary when I stumbled on The Wandering Llamas website. Now, it didn't hurt that I have a thing for llamas but after a couple email exchanges, I was booked and hooked. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the llamas...especially Pharoah...were just the best. I'm smiling right now just thinking about it! And Sandy, she is just wonderful and you can tell the llamas are not just tools of the trade but her actual family (touches my heart). We will definitely be back!! read more

I LOVE llamas. LOVE them. So, I was super excited when my husband surprised me with this trip for my birthday in July. I was counting down the months until we got to go on our hike. From the very beginning, Sandy was very communicative, informative, and professional. She made sure that we knew when to arrive, where to park, and what to expect when we got there. Sandy is SUCH a nice person and has trained her llamas so well! The hike was absolutely beautiful and so much fun. Each llama definitely had its own personality and Sandy knows them all so well. Make sure to bring snacks because the llamas love them (graham crackers, bananas, etc.). My husband even commented that he had way more fun than he thought he would. We both can't wait to go back. We plan to glamp with the llamas next time. read more

We spent a beautiful and peaceful night in the Fox Den Treehouse. Specatular views, cozy accommodations, and an interesting toilet:-). We enjoying watching the sun set at our private firepit. But the best part was meeting all the llamas prior to our trek. I've always wanted to add a llama to our wee farm, so talking to Sandy about her llamas was invaluable. The trek the next day was PERFECT!!! Just a beautiful trail with several wet crosses. We so appreciated Sandy taking photos during the trek then sharing them after. I cannot recommend this experience enough if you're open to something "out of the ordinary". There is nothing more relaxing for me than driving down beautiful country roads and this area is just so scenic. We plan to return for sure!! read more

My Husband and I had the joy of a Llama hike in October 2019. What fun!!! The llamas are gentle and beautiful. Sandy is a patient guide. We did the shorter trail and even with my old, arthritic ridden body, I was able to do the trek. Then we stayed 2 nights in the glamping tent. So cozy, clean, and comfy! The bed is great! We built fires in the fire pit, watched the stars and roasted marshmallows. Such a peaceful environment for much needed rest and reconnection. We also did the stained glass class. Again, Sandy is a patient teacher. This was such a fun trip. Sandy is a wonderful hostess. 5 STARS!!!!! read more

I love The Wandering Llamas!! I've gone on two treks this summer and discovered that Sandy and her llamas are the best trekking company in the area, hands down. Sandy genuinely cares about her animals so the llamas are well trained and a treat to be around. Sandy does her best to make sure everyone has a great time on the trek and the trails she uses are perfect for a fun adventure in the mountains; definitely suitable for a whole-family outing. I will be back for more treks with Sandy and her llamas! read more

Hiking with llamas was so much fun! The llamas we're super sweet, as was our guide Sandy! Our yoga part got cancelled and Sandy worked with us to ensure we still got to have an adventure with Llamas! I highly recommend trying this out and enjoying time with sweet, sweet animals!...and no, they don't spit. Moose was my best pal! Sandy was wonderful too! Not only did she give us an amazing time she also recommended other great places to visit while in town. read more

Add this to your bucket list! This was an amazing experience. The tent was super cozy with lots of fluffy blankets and pillows everywhere. Sandy is so thoughtful and sweet. Even thought our night was colder than anticipated (25 degrees) the tent and bed kept us toasty warm all night! The whole experience (one night in the "llama lodge" and a 3 mile lunch hike) was really affordable and worth every penny! read more

We stayed one night in the tree house and hiked the following morning. The tree house is clean and cozy and equipped with a coffee maker, fire pit, camp toilet, extra water, and a fan. The view is gorgeous. We had so much fun visiting with the llamas - they like to hang out right under the tree house. The hike was rainy but still so much fun. The llamas are gentle and very well cared for. We will be back! read more

Fantastic! Gorgeous drive down and even better experience. We did the easier trail at Hobbit Creek Trail, definitely a trail for anyone, even the less athletic! The Llamas were beautiful, well behaved, and everything we hoped for! We will definitely be doing this again, Sandy was sweet and a wonderful guide, it was so nice being able to each guide our own llama! read more

Hiking with the llamas what a treat! The 2 hour hike was beautiful and nice weather in November. It was nice to be able to feed the llamas they are very well trained and sweet. Sandy gave us information about the llamas and the area we hiked. This is an excellent activity to do with family and friends! Love to do another hike soon, thank you Sandy:) read more

I've done two of the llama hikes and will definitely do more! The llamas are amazing--they're so gentle and sweet--not to mention adorable!! The guide is wonderful, as well, and very knowledgeable about the llamas. Being out in nature with the llamas is extremely peaceful and you'll immediately fall in love with them! I highly, highly recommend this! read more

Our time with The Wandering llamas was so wonderful and therapeutic. The Foxden Treehouse was so comfortable and homey and the llamas were friendly. Sandy really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had a relaxing stay. I definitely recommend taking a trip to enjoy this amazing little gem hidden away in the mountains. read more

Today was a beautiful day in the forest. We hiked with seven docile, both young and older, llamas. The scenery was beautiful, our host Sandy was knowledgeable and accommodating to everyone's questions (including passersby), and the llamas were a true source of entertainment, the highlight of our leisurely stroll. read more

Such a unique thing to do! My best friend and I "played hooky" and took to the autumn woods with Sandy and the llamas. It was one of the best days ever. Out with glorious trees, rippling brook, humming llamas, and yoga that calmed our minds and deepened our breaths. Loved every second. read more
