    Wonderful experience on the farm. We were taken to 3 sections to see the highland coos. We were also lucky enough to see the babies and also give a gentle coo a scratch behind the ear. Loved it! Highly recommend.

    My partner, Phil and I (Debbie) had the pleasure of riding Foxy and Droops yesterday on a hack out around the countryside, which was stunning. Although I was quite an experienced rider, my partner was less so, so we opted to go on the walking hack, which was such a fabulous experience, made all the more fun by both Megan and her colleague, who led us all on William. The girls were so courteous and helpful and made everyone feel very welcome. The horses were extremely well behaved and Foxy, in particular, just went off my leg beautifully. Next time I’m up, I will be certain to come back and attend an intermediate hack, so I can experience a super canter, hopefully on Foxy. Such a super mare and an asset to your centre. Well done ladies. Keep up the good work and thank you once again for making it such an enjoyable experience for us both. Finally, the horses look so well looked after too. Onwards and upwards and look forward to seeing you again, hopefully, soon. 🥰🥰

    We did the coo Safari, and it was worth every pound. The woman guiding us had much information about the Highland coos. We took a walk near the Loch as well and you have a path around the lake that take about an hour. Lots of other activities for family s with children. You can spend a few days here with all that's going on.

    We did the highland coo safari, the place was very helpful and accommodated letting us on the tour without a car and let us go with the ranger. The ranger was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the highland cows. We was able to fed the babies and one of the adult highland cows. Definitely recommend if you love highland cows.

    Booked the amazing falconry experience, relaxing pony trek, had hearty lunch at the barn and did the highland coo safari (the highlight of my trip).. booking experience was a breeze and staff were all super friendly & nice! I didnt drive so for the coo safari and the ranger let me ride in his car and we had a hand feeding session. So grateful for a wonderful day - many experiences checked off the bucket list :)

    This experience was booked by my partner as a birthday surprise and it was simply incredible. The weather was spectacular and Jonny was amazing from start to finish. He made us both feel at ease and explained about and introduced us to all of the birds within the falconry. Jonny gave explanations about all the birds we met and worked with and knew so much about each and every bird. He was helpful, passionate and excellent with the animals. We’ll definitely be returning.

    Absolutely amazing day out! I cannot recommend Johnny and the Highland falconry Centre enough! Getting the chance to fly and be up close to these birds was a truly amazing experience. The centre was clean and well laid out and you could clearly see the birds were very well looked after. Hard to pick the best part of the day apart from the obvious Eagle, but getting to meet Loco the Caracara was probably it 😂 (A small bird with a massive personality). A brilliant day out for kids and adults alike and very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back again.

    My 17yr old , sister and I are visiting Scotland with family to honour one of my dads last wishes, for us to see the country of his grandparents. This trek was a highlight of our visit! The staff were friendly and gave great directions. The pony’s were well trained and the tack comfortable. They even lent us riding boots as we had packed hiking footwear! As well, they supplied helmets (very important for a past ED Nurse!) the trek took us through a forest and a valley and was a fantastic way to see the countryside!! Well worth the visit!!

    One of THE best experiences I have had. The falconers were fantastic and ensured everyone was included, very knowledgeable about all the birds, made the hours there fun and so enjoyable. The interaction to with the guardian dogs was so cute! Would highly recommend anyone in the area to invest in this unique experience

    The falconry experience with Johnny was magical! He and his wife were wonderful in accommodating my husband's disability so we both got 100% from the experience. Johnny is engaging, funny and ensures all guests have ample time with each bird. And the birds, they are brilliant! 10 stars, definitely worth the price and 2 hours in the rain!

    Absolute must-do! We met Ollie (our ranger) at the triangle car park and we left on time to meet the lovely highland cows. He is very knowledgeable and chats away from feeds to silly stories of the moo's. The experience itself was fabulous, Ollie bought snacks for the moo's so they were happy to see us. Also saw a few extremely adorable calves. There are also lots of other activities within Rothiemurchus so just go, you won't regret it.

    Had a fantastic quad trek around the estate especially in the picture perfect snow conditions. Bethan our guide was great, very informative and made sure everyone was safe throughout the trek. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this experience. My 12yr old loved it as did my wife and this was her first time on a quad bike so suitable for all skill levels from first timers to experienced riders.

    We had a 💥 blast! Super experience! The instructor was very patient with my15 year old daughter, who was quite scared. But with every min of the excursion she was enjoying the ride more and more. Lovely views, and super fun.
