As you arrive, you're greeted by the enthusiastic staff, all passionate about raptors. After a brief orientation about the experience and safety protocols, you meet the stars of the day — the hawks. Each bird has its own personality and history, eagerly awaiting your attention.

​

Getting Up Close

The real thrill begins when you get to handle a hawk. Staff members will guide you through the process, ensuring both your safety and the well-being of the bird. You'll learn how to wear a falconer's glove, specially designed to protect your hand while allowing the hawk to perch comfortably.

Now comes the highlight — the hawk walk itself. With the hawk perched on your glove, you stroll through scenic trails, surrounded by nature. As you move, the bird may take short flights, soaring gracefully above you before returning to your outstretched arm. A trained falconer accompanies you, providing insights into the hawk’s behavior and guiding you on how to communicate with it using whistles and calls.

Educational Insights

Throughout the walk, expect to learn fascinating facts! From the hawk’s remarkable eyesight to its incredible hunting skills, each moment is an opportunity to deepen your appreciation for these avian wonders. You may even witness a demonstration of the bird’s hunting prowess — a thrilling sight as it dives toward a lure.
