We approached this excursion with some trepidation, but before we were there long we knew it was a winner. The time in the woods with the hawks and owls was extraordinarily memorable. These were easily the pictures most enjoyed by us and by our friends on the receiving end of our vacation pictures!…

Excellent experience for the family. We visited Killarney for a weekend and absolutely loved our experience with the falconry, it was one of the highlights of our trip. We got to meet Tex the Harrier and were amazed to see the bird so close to its hunting environment. Booking and arrangement were made so easy with no long complications and the area is we visited was not too far from the town. This is a must do experience when visiting Killarney as we would have never got so close and witnessed the birds in any other manner. At the end were got a delightful surprise when meeting the 3 owls. Our guide on the day was full of knowledge and so helpful and friendly. We have many pictures to look back on and show friends and family of this great experience…

This was the best experience for us both, you get so much interaction with the hawks and owls, I'm studying vet nursing and I found the experience so informative and educational, Geoff has a wealth of knowledge regarding his birds and the other birds native to our emerald isle, their needs and behaviours, not one question I had went unanswered, my partner has a Electus parrot at home and found this experience with birds of prey so interesting especially the difference in their personalities, this is a must for anyone with an interest, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Geoff, this experience is definitely one that won't be forgotten, wishing you every success going forward 😊😊 Oh and an extra big thank you to our feathered friends on the day Harry, Casper and Riley 😍😍😍…

Prior to heading to Killarney for our Staycation I contacted Killarney Falconry & got a very prompt reply from Geoffrey detailing the experience & the prices... as I wanteed to be certain of doing this & you can never guarantee Irish weather we didn't book until we were on the ground, so to speak. The Weds forecast seemed the best so we booked and met John in a hotel carpark. We followed him to some woods down a very long lane & at last arrived at the destination - a wooded copse of trees. We then met Meeko the Harris hawk & each of us got multiple turns at having him fly to the gaunlet to feed. During the experience John entertained us with lots of info about falconry including the many terms that have migrated into the English language. And just when we though it was all over we got back to John's van and three fabulous owls were produced... each of us got a nuzzling owl on our gloved hand.. who knew these beautiful birds were so affectionate? It was the perfect end to one of the highlights of my existence.... …
