I had such a beautiful time at the farm The work was very straightforward and rewarding and Hege always made sure we understood everything and were confortable with it. I loved taking care of the alpacas in the morning and was so lucky to have not one but two baby alpacas being born during my stay ! I enjoyed so much the nature surrounding the farm, going for bike rides or a quick deep in the sea. And of course the star of the show, the boat trips John took us on were so much fun ! I would recommend this place in a heart beat <3

This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I had a great time. Hega is such a warm and friendly person, and from the very beginning, she did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The work was also very enjoyable. Of course, there were tasks that were perhaps not as much fun as the animal care, but you could choose from a variety of different tasks each day, which made it very varied. I particularly enjoyed the days when Hega's father took us on his boat tours and showed us the nearby islands. Overall, I would say the farm is a great place to find peace. Would recommend

The farm is a beautiful place, that I would definitely recommend! Hege made me feel welcome from the start. I stayed in the volunteer house next to the farm with 2-3 other volunteers. Once a week Hege took us grocery shopping. The work was quite demanding but we could always chose what to do from a number of tasks. We were also free in chosing our days off or when to start work/take breaks. Hege explained everything carefully and was always there if we had any questions or problems. Highlights: Newborn baby alpaca (so cute!), alpaca sheering & boat trip with Hege's father John!

I had the best three weeks at the Alpaca farm. The work was generally quite enjoyable especially on a sunny day when you can enjoy the beautiful view over the fjord. I loved being around the alpacas and going for walks with them, they're such adorable animals with so much personality. There are lots of things you can do around the farm in your free time, like going on boat trips, hiking, taking a bike to explore the countryside or on a rainy day - bake something sweet.

This was my first experience with worldpackers and I'm so, so glad I got to spend it at Opplev the farm! The work was really varied, felt rewarding and with many tasks to choose from it never got boring. I especially enjoyed taking care of the adorable Alpacas and chickens. The surroundings of the farm are stunning for hiking or taking the boat out. Hege's father even took us on a boat trip to some other islands which was amazing, thank you again! Hege was really kind and took such good care of us. All in all it was such a memorable, peaceful experience and I wish I could've stayed longer! :)
