Visited here today with my daughter & it was a massive hit. Caroline is a wealth of knowledge. It is Super easy to get too, near the car park so accessible to everyone. We spoke about it all the way home to cork. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return. We got to see all the Hawks & the two Owls Turbo & Diesel! To have the opportunity to be so close to birds of prey is an unforgettable experience. It’s clear both Caroline and John are passionate about what they do. The birds are so well cared for & trained! Caroline’s kindness & patience with my Daughter was so so appreciated she is nature mad and asked lots of questions. Really really left on a high. An experience we will never forget.

Fantastic experience on a rainy Irish winter's day. Interacting with these powerful birds of prey taught us how rich and complex their lives are. Great experience for a family excursion. The staff and instructor was great, informative, patient and passionate. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience. My sister and I recently took part in the private hawk walk, and we had a blast. I work with parrots, and am used to large birds, but spending some time with raptors is a whole new experience. We had a blast. Thank you.

We went to Archery today to John and Caroline at Hawkeye at the Lyrath grounds - what a fantastic experience it was! John taught us and we spent a fantastic hour feeling like Robin Hood! We have also had the hawk walk experience previously and we couldn't recommend Hawkeye more highly. If you want a fabulous experience teamed with knowledgeable and friendly experts then go no further than these guys!

We had another walk scheduled somewhere else that cancelled at the last min(staffing issues), we were disappointed at first , but then found Hawkeye School of Falconry. They were able to get us in within 2 days of losing our other reservation. We could not be happier with our experience! Our guide was Caroline and she was knowledgeable, professional, nice, funny, kind, and patient with our Autistic son and our group as a whole. We saw/met the birds of prey they have, all beautiful! We met 2 of the cutest owls- Lazy Maggie and Turbo, and then took the walk with Reggie, a Harris Hawk. We all thought this was the highlight of our trip to Ireland, and my son can’t stop talking about it. We are learning more about Harris hawks now because of this amazing, hands on, experience. 100% would do this again if/when we make it back to Ireland. We all bought pins to commemorate the day and the first thing my son did was put that pin on his hat. He was so proud of himself after the walk! My heartfelt Thanks to Caroline and the Team for making this day such an amazing one!

I would give this 6 stars if I could. It was an amazing experience !! We were greeted by Caroline and John who are very welcoming and their adorable spaniels : Conor gave us very informative detail on their Birds of Prey including an introduction to each of their personalities. Maggie the owl is a cutie, but our walk with Mavis the Harris Hawk was just fantastic - such impressive creatures and such a thrill having her land and take off from your own arm. An experience you should not miss.

A friend said this was the highlight of her trip and I can definitely see why. Caroline and Maddy took us on a private walk with Reggie a Harris Hawk. We learned about them and had him land right on my hand!!!! It’s hard to describe how special it was.
Before that we spent time with a fantastic little owl!
This was so much fun and so special.
I highly suggest recommend this event.

BEST DAY EVER! This has been the best day of our bucket list trip by far! We booked a Private Falconry Experience followed by an Archery Lesson, and John could not make us feel any more at home and very welcome. The knowledge and love for the birds is evident in both John and Caroline. Handling, feeding and interacting with the birds was beyond our expectations. Next, we had so much fun shooting with a recurve bow that now I want one! This is a “must do” if you have the opportunity - you will not be disappointed, and will come away with photos on your smartphone and memories for a lifetime. Thank you John!

We did the Private Falconry experience that includes the hawk walk, owl experience, and falcon experience. Everything about this falconry is friendly, impressive, and professional. Booking is easily done through their website. The owl experience is an awesome encounter that allows you to meet and take photos with an awesome owl friend. The hawk walk is perhaps my favorite part of the experience as it shows the extreme intelligence and ability of the hawk. The falcon experience shows the incredible speed of the falcon up close and personal. John is an expert in his field and is a great conversationalist. He engages you throughout the entire experience. If anybody is debating visiting this falconry, you should 110% do it.

Hi
My family will be in Ireland during the first week in August and I wanted to surprise them with a falconry activity.
There are 6 adults in my group. I have the following questions:
1) would each person have the opportunity to have a bird land on their glove and take photos?
2) how long is the activity?
3) what are your hours and days of operation?
4) how much is it per person for the activity?
5) How far are you from the Waterford Crystal factory time wise?
thank you
Mary

Hi Mary,
Thank you for your enquiry. The Falconry experience is very hands on and interactive so yes, each person will get to call the Hawk a number of times to their glove and there will be fantastic photo opportunities. There are two options available, you can choose one of these:
Falconry Experience:
Duration 1 hour €70 for 1 person €30 per person extra
We will demonstrate the Ancient Art of Falconry. Watch our Hawks demonstrate their hunting skills by catching food out of the air and witness a simulated rabbit hunt where our Hawk will chase and catch the dummy bunny and the falconer will demonstrate the transfer from the dummy bunny. Enjoy a casual walk as our Hawk follows on while he flies to your gloved fist to feed and returns to the trees. Get to handle one of our Owls while the Falconer teaches you about the species. Fantastic photo opportunities throughout the experience.
OR
Hawk Walk:
Duration 40 min €60 for 1 person €20 per person extra
Get the opportunity to walk with one of our Hawks while calling the Hawk from the trees to your gloved fist to feed. To finish you get to handle one of our owls. Fantastic photo opportunities throughout the experience.
If you would like a certain date and time we will do our best to accomodate you, booking in advance is advisable. During the summer months we work 7 days a week, 9am - 9pm.
The experience will be held on the grounds of Waterford Castle Hotel and Golf Club, this location is a 10 minute drive from Waterford Crystal. Allow an extra 15 minutes on your journey for the free ferry crossing to the island.
If we can be of any further assistance don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
John Duggan
