    Outstanding experience
    We were staying just a short walk from Kingdom Falconry and on this day had Eric and Shauna all to ourselves. It was a fascinating, up close and personal experience with several birds of prey, falcon, hawk, golden eagle, barn owl to name a few. We were well instructed on how to wear our leather gloves and signal for the birds to come to us. They were patient and answered all of our questions. We interacted with more birds than I thought we were going to, then were able to tour the other cages where they keep them. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience for us and so happy we could do this right there in Dingle! We have some amazing photos and slow motion videos as well.

    Family trip to try something new
    This was hands down one of our favorite things to do on our recent trip to Ireland. My son (8) LOVED being able to handle the hawk and watch it out in nature. The whole staff was top notch and the Im pretty sure the animals live a better life than I do ;) All in all, a great experience. Was beautiful, educational and just downright special.

    Best thing to do in Ireland!
    We did the private walk with Pierce the Harris Falcon. Our guide was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, and we saw many species of large birds! Would recommend to anyone, great for all ages. We will do it again if we ever return to Dingle!

    Super awesome experience!
    My wife and I did the hawk walk with Shauna (and Clive!) in October and I have to say that this is something that I'll never forget. I've always been a big fan of hawks, eagles, owls and other birds of prey and getting to spend a couple hours with Clive the falcon and have him rest on my arm was truly memorable. Shauna was very patient and knowledgeable and really took the time to ensure we got some good pics and even some cool slo-mo video of Clive landing on our arms. Seeing all of the other bird friends after the walk and hearing about their individual personalities was icing on the cake. This was a highlight of our trip and I highly recommend it!

    A Birder’s Top Choice!
    Incredible time at this place. Private falconry experience is more than worth it - being so close to some beautiful birds gives you a real sense of their magnificence. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and it’s a great location right near town. Would absolutely encourage any bird enthusiasts to book this!

    Tour and flying demonstration
    Brilliant experience! Shauna was very knowledgeable, and experienced with the birds. She gave us a tour and a flying demonstration. Shauna's handling of the birds was considered and she gave us clear instructions for an enjoyable experience. She was assisted by Rori and it was clear that both of them are passionate and dedicated to the care of the birds and sharing that with visitors. Totally recommend it 🙂.

    Amazing Experience! Our tour with Rory was unforgettable. The birds were fascinating, the information and how she presented it was well planned. I never thought I would hold a hawk on my hand!

    Amazing Experience
    What a wonderful experience for such a reasonable price! The birds which we interacted with and the staff that facilitated were all amazing. We were able to observe a Peregrine Falcon and then a Harris Hawk and an owl flew to each participant several times, as the staff shared facts and stories about them. There was also a demonstration with a beautiful Eurasian Eagle-Owl. Afterwards we visited the Aviary and saw several more birds including a Golden Eagle. This was time and money well spent!!

    Up close with majestic birds of prey.
    We did the public experience and had a great time. Erich and Rory did a great job. All of the birds were extraordinary. Well worth the $ and time.

    Wonderful hands on experience
    The best Falconry experience I have ever had. Got to hold 10 birds from .75 lbs. to 5 lbs. i really enjoyed. Learned a lot about the birds besides demonstrations and active participation

    Informative staff. Entertaining and interesting falcons, owls and even an eagle. Well worth a visit if you're in Dingle already.

    Genuine encounter with hunting birds
    Had my doubts about this but was pleasantly surprised; knowledgeable and informative guide to raptors; beautiful birds that clearly were not used to just perform tricks. You also got to see their distinct personalities.

We booked a private family experience for four adults and five children for €200, having been offered the option of joining the larger group for €120. I'm so glad we did. We had a full hour with the birds and were so impressed with the whole experience. Eric and Andi were super - informative, proficient, patient and encouraging with nervous little ones and truly enthused by the birds in their care. We saw the peregrine falcon hunt and all managed to handle a Harris hawk, a golden eagle, a eurasian owl and a barn owl. It was so much better than I had expected and after two fabulous weeks with loads of experiences and trips, remains my ten year old son's favourite memory of his holiday. Highly recommended.

We had very much looked forward to a hawk walk experience in Dingle. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced a cancellation in our plans.
However, this group still deserves a positive review.
When I notified Kingdom Falconry of my cancellation, they replied very quickly and also made a very prompt refund.
I appreciate the integrity of these people, and feel it is worthy of notice.
When we do make it to Ireland, we will endeavor to reschedule this experience.

This was a wonderful experience of being up close to baby owls, snow owl, Harris falcons, golden eagle landing on glove, closeness to birds to observe colours, feathers and features was an amazing and emotionally positive experience. Andi,our falconer was "The wisest owl" her knowledge and bubbly interest was infectious. Her professional delivery and management of our visit has created a very positive memory in these challenging covid times. Thank you Tiger for your video and photo work, really amazing.

Our family of 2 adults and 3 boys aged 7-11 had the most wonderful experience here today. Andi shared her extensive knowledge with us in an interesting and enthusiastic way. It was so obvious she was passionate about her work and she told us so! It was also very clear the birds welfare was of utmost importance and Andi waited until a passing helicopter had left to ensure the owl Fluffy was comfortable before proceeding. The falcon, owls and hawk all looked very well cared for and content. Both Andi and Aisha were lovely with the children too. It exceeded our expectations and we would really recommend this for any age- you will not be disappointed!

Me and my partner happened to stumble upon this place on our walk. The show had already started but they kindly let us joint the group. They even caught us up on the bits we had missed at the end. I have to say that this was an absolute highlight of our trip to Dingle. The birds were well trained and so mesmerising. Andi was great and explained everything so well. It’s is amazing and inspiring to see people that just love what they do.THANK YOU. We had such a great time.

I truly can’t say enough about this experience. Maybe one of my favorite travel experiences of all time. My husband and I went with Emily on the private hawk hawk. It’s with the extra spending for the private experience for sure. We walked down the water with Ozzy the Harris Hawk and he flew out and back to us so many times. She was so knowledgeable and friendly and explained everything so well. Get tons of photos and videos but also make sure to put your phone down and just experience it some. Im glad I did a balance of both. We were allowed to see the other birds after, which was great. Also they were so accommodating. We had to reschedule our whole Ireland trip about seven months because of a death in the family and they let us reschedule the tour and do a later time in the day so easily and kindly.

Got to walk with and have hawks and owls fly to and from you. Also hold huge beautiful Golden Eagle. Awesome guide Andie and owner from Poland (whose name I forget) who really know their birds. Watched them train a hawk to hunt. Walk along beautiful Dingle Harbor/Bay with hawk wearing your own glove to hold them. Don’t miss it.

Wish I could give them 6 stars. Unforgettable experience with Eric and his team. Really knowledgeable and friendly. My wife and I got to do a hawk walk with Jill (the hawk) and then see many of the other raptors. We go up close them and could take as many photos and videos as we wanted. Eric also was helpful to make sure we got the best angles and great shots. It was the highlight of our stay in Dingle and of our entire trip. Definitely a must do.

Four of us did the Hawk Walk with Erik and his Harris Hawk Jenny. What marvellous experience. Erik was patient and extremely knowledgeable. We all managed to get a slow motion video of Jenny flying to our gloved hand. After the walk we saw several other birds of prey. It really was an amazing hour or so.

Just had a great experience with Kingdom Falconry in Dingle, Ireland. Got to have 3 chances to hold the bird on my gloved hand. The staff were great and gave us a wonderful understanding of the 3 birds we got to be close to. Also, a tour in the Falconry.
