Kingdom Falconry , Dingle, County Kerry V92 DP93

"Absolutely worth every penny! We booked the public tour but ended up getting a private experience. The birds are stunning and the handlers are incredibly knowledgeable. We would have stayed all day chatting if we could! Highly recommend."

"We had an incredible experience at the kingdom falconry. The team (Eric and Emily) were knowledgeable and shared their love of the birds of prey. This truly exceeded all of our expectations! The birds were beautiful and we were able to interact with multiple species. I highly recommend this company and would visit in any additional trips to dingle!"

"The highlight of our Dingle stay! We did the public falconry experience and it was amazing to be able to interact with the birds. Julien and Emily were passionate, knowledgeable and made sure everybody got a chance to hold a variety of birds. At the end we got to go in the aviary to meet other owls, hawks, and their golden eagle, Orla! Such a great experience."

"Kingdom Falconry is, without a doubt, the best spur of the moment decision I've made in some time. I booked a Sunday afternoon Hawk Walk (Kingdom Falconry is one of the businesses in Dingle that does offer Sunday times for interaction) and not only learned a massive amount from Emily and Julien (the handlers) but also Harry, Luna, Orla and the whole menagerie. It is lovely to have such an up close experience - it was private and very well time managed - all three in my party were offered gloves and had multiple opportunities to experience Harry flitting from one glove to the next, as well as space for perfectly set up and timed slow-mo shots that really showcase the beauty of his flight. Afterward, because we did get a little rained on, we were offered a short session with Luna (the young owl, perched on a handler's glove below) and a brief tour of the aviary. You could feel in every moment how cared for these birds are - and how they are asked only for performance of their natural behaviors. Kingdom Falconry feels a little like a love letter to these animals, and as a visitor you're offered a well tailored pass into the experience. I came to Dingle for a family visit, to see the same tourist sites as anyone, but I would come back even if all I could do was spend more time at Kingdom Falconry."
