About
Hands-on falconry on the Dingle Peninsula: hold and fly over 20 birds of prey — hawks, owls, falcons and a golden eagle — in one-hour sessions just 5 minutes from Dingle town.
Things to Do
Private Falconry Experience
A one-hour session exclusive to your party, with private use of the falconry garden and personal falconer guidance. Subject to season and the bird's mood, you may meet Orla the golden eagle. Bookable year-round in advance.
Hawk Walk
A private 60-minute walk (1–5 people) along a wetland lake with a free-flying Harris Hawk that soars, perches and returns to your gloved hand. Entry to view the other birds is included; suitable for children aged five and up.
Meet the birds
Over 20 resident birds of prey with distinct personalities, including peregrine and saker falcons, barn, snowy and eagle owls, several Harris hawks, and Orla the golden eagle — Ireland's largest bird of prey.
Falconry heritage and conservation
Falconry is recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, and the team also rescues and rehabilitates injured raptors. Every session includes an educational element on bird behaviour and conservation.
Photography
Photography is encouraged at every experience, and falconers will help you capture birds landing on your glove. Bring a charged camera or phone — slow-motion video of the hawk walk is a highlight.
