Group Falconry Experience

Group falconry visits give your group the chance to get up close with a range of hawks, owls and falcons, while learning directly from an experienced falconer.

Sessions include flying demonstrations, handling opportunities where appropriate, and engaging explanations of how birds of prey live, hunt and survive in the wild. It’s informative without being heavy, and interactive without being rushed.

This experience works particularly well for tour groups in Waterford looking for something authentic, local and different.
