Outdoor Experience

A one-of-a-kind walk along Dingle Bay, with a Hawk by your side

Step into nature and experience the ancient bond between human and bird of prey with our private Hawk Walk—an unforgettable hour in the company of a free-flying Harris Hawk. Set against the spectacular backdrop of Dingle Bay, this experience lets you take a gentle stroll along the harbour as the hawk soars, swoops, and returns to your gloved hand.

Led by an experienced falconer, this fully private session is tailored to your group, allowing for a relaxed and personal encounter with one of the world’s most intelligent and sociable birds of prey. You’ll learn about the hawk’s natural behaviours, take in the coastal scenery, and capture stunning photos and slow-motion videos as the bird flies alongside you—perching on trees, posts, and even your glove.

the Nicest Things

What am amazing experience, I took my niece and brother to Kingdom Falconry while in Dingle. We had a private show and it was absolutely worth every penny to learn about these birds of prey and their unique personalities. We all lit up as the birds landed on our gloved hands. I can't say enough good things about our time and the wonderful, devoted care they receive.

What a great experience. Niamh was a wonderful host on our private tour which was well worth the time and money. Close up interaction with the Falcon revealed its personality and was quite a treasure to experience. Would do it all again just to spend time with this wonderful creature.

This was a really fun experience! We did the public falconry session and were able to hold a barn owl and a falcon. We also seen a snowy owl, baby barn owls, a golden eagle and other birds! Andy was great and explained a lot about the birds. The birds seem very well looked after. Overall a great experience and would defo recommend!

Kingdom Falconry could not have given me a more magical experience. Everyone was so knowledgeable, so friendly and clearly had a passion not only for the birds in their care, but also conservation and education. This was absolutely one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and I will definitely be back to visit again the next time that I’m in Dingle!! If you are at all within driving distance, I highly recommend that you take a trip and experience the magic yourself!
