Prepare to be enraptured - This experience was educational and entertaining. Unlike most travel experiences, this one is not crowded with a busload of people. It is small, intimate and a lot of fun. You learn about raptors and experience their skills and abilities. Our guide, Kathleen, is very knowledgeable and easily answered all questions. And yes, you do get to handle the birds. I would do this adventure a second time. I seem to be more observant now when I see a bird of prey in the wild. Give it a try. I don't think that you will be disappointed. It is a one of a kind opportunity.

Incredibly beautiful opportunity to see raptors up close and to hold them - Wow this was one of the best things I have ever done in my life!!! Kathleen was so knowledgeable and professional. The falcon that I got to hold, and the hawk was indeed SO EXCITING! The baby owl on my lap was the cutest thing ever and ALL the raptors were beautifully cared for. I could have spent hours walking through the countryside with these beautiful birds.

Excellent Event! - What a fun and fabulous event! Kathleen is wonderful and had a beautiful tent set up with refreshments so you are not always directly in the sun. The raptors were beautiful, healthy and so well trained. Kathleen shared all her experience and knowledge about the raptors and falconry. What a thrill to have these beauties fly to your arm!
