    Second time in a few weeks going as the experience was so good. This isn’t a job for Liam it’s a passion. He’s respect and love of the birds is evident and he shares that knowledge with ease. We brought children the second time who loved feeding the alpacas and still talk about Puca the barn owl. Cannot recommend enough and will be back again

    Liam was an excellent host and taught us a lot about the birds and what it takes to be a falconer in Ireland. We had plenty of time to interact with the birds and even his alpacas in the pen next to us! It was interesting to learn the differences between hawks/falcons and even those lazy owls. Thanks again, Liam for a wonderful time!

    Wonderful experience spending time with a variety of predatory birds, leaning about them, and getting the opportunity to have them fly to you and land on your arm. Staff were brilliant and ensured everyone had the opportunity to hold and get photos with the birds. A family run business deserves to be supported. We booked before our trip to Killarney and thank you to Liam, who was incredibly helpful and friendly, and made the booking process easy. We participated as part of a group but believe they can take private bookings also. Totally recommend!

    Liam was so accommodating. Ireland was rain free the entire time we visited until the day we were supposed to fly the birds. Liam graciously allowed us to come anyway and offered a fair price to just meet the birds and hold them. Mark was our host and he not only knew about birds in general, he knew these birds and their personalities. He had such affection for our feathered friends. My family and I had a great time!

    This is a must do experience. We went with a group ranging from 6 to 50+ and every single person thought it was the best stop on the trip. Despite the rain, Liam and Patrick were able to show us so many owls and hawks, and taught us so much about the birds. They were so nice and even got the more hesitant people in our party to participate, while suggesting great photos and keeping everyone at ease. Liam was very easy to work with as we had many changes in our group size - we loved our trip to Falconry Kerry!

    Absolutely wonderful and amazing experience! Our falconer, Patrick, was knowledgeable and fun, and we had a private experience where we met several birds of pray and took turns having them land on our glove and interacting with us. This has been one of our top highlights on our trip so far and we would definitely do it again if in the area! 100% would recommend to all!

    My wife & I had an incredible experience with Patrick and all of the birds we saw today. This was our first exposure to falconry and it couldn't have been easier or more fun. Patrick was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions related to the experience. Overall 10/10! Could not have been more pleased with the entire experience! Thank you for allowing us to create this memory! We will be back.

    Wow. Breathtaking experience! Packed a lot into the hour I had with them and every second of it was magic. Patrick was full of knowledge as well as humor and was a lovely person to work with. He answered all my questions and made it a memorable experience. Will definitely recommend to anyone I know headed to Ireland. Will return. Wish you all the best.

    Had a great time meeting James (a hawk) and Gandalf, Cookie, and Willow (owls)... Oh, and Patrick, our guide. The experience of seeing and learning about these magnificent birds, let alone having them perch on our hands, will be one that stays with us for a long time. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate, it's incredible. Thanks, Patrick, for an unforgettable day

    Mira was great. She helped us understand a lot about the Falcon and the owls. There was a moment when Lea decided she wanted to have a safer spot and flew off a bit. Mira did a great job getting her to come back to her.

    Scheduled our visit while staying nearby. It was just us with the birds (no other guests) which made it so personal. We had such a wonderful time! One of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. Our falconer also gave us tips on how to video the birds in slow motion. Thank you so much for making this such a special experience!

    It's a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to everyone. The cost is 40 euros per person for group activities, which typically last around 1 hour. You could pay by card. I suggest calling or emailing to book in advance. Our guide was a lovely gentleman from South Africa who explained the origins and species, answering all of our questions. We were a group of 6 people, and I believe it was an ideal number for this activity.

    Liam and Team were absolutely wonderful for a small group demonstration for us in April 2023. He was knowledgeable and made sure everyone got sufficient time handling the birds. He made us all comfortable interacting with these majestic creatures. The highlight of our trip for many! Thank you, Liam!

    This was an amazing experience! This was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. We got to be up close and personal with 3 owls and 2 hawks. Liam was incredibly knowledgable about falconry and is very passionate about his work with the birds. Liam was a great communicator and even sent us driving directions when he noticed road work was being done in the area the day of our visit. It was a short drive from Killarney, and Killarney National Park - Muckross House and Ross Castle, so there’s plenty to do before and after your falconry experience. 5/5 stars! We would definitely do this again! Thank you, Liam!

    Absolutely amazing time. Patrick, our guide, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful. I highly recommend this experience if you are interested at all!!! We handled the reservation by email. They were very responsive.

    I went in not knowing if I would enjoy this experience but I was blown away with how incredibly special it was. Patrick gave us amazing information about the birds and helped us truly fall in love with each of them! I would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

    I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed and would recommend our experience with Liam of Falconry Kerry. Liam is so personable and even sent me alternate directions because of road construction. It was such a personalized experience and all four of us were able to hold/feed each of the birds (falcon, hawk, and three different types of owl) multiple times. Liam is also a wealth of knowledge about the birds and the history of Falconry. If you are anywhere near Killarney you NEED to go to Falconry Kerry!!

    This was the HIGHLIGHT of our time in Ireland. Liam brought 5 birds and we flew and let 4 of them (the first one, a falcon can only be comfortable around their handler and wow he was a beautiful bird!). Liam is obviously doing what he loves. The hawks and owls were well cared for and our 6 and 9 year old had the best time. Liam let the girls fly them as much as their hearts desired and the birds were only too happy to be fed by them. Cookie the spotted eagle owl was a hoot - she was basically a flying cat with all that sass. Definitely recommend this and we will be doing this again!

    The whole experience, start to finish, was wonderful! Liam helped me book and was kind and easy to work with. Mark was the falconer and was informative and laid back as it gets. We had the best time learning about the different birds and getting to handle them was a once in a lifetime experience. Well worth it!!

    This was my favorite tour in Ireland! We all got to hold the hawk throughout the walk and learn about falconry, and then holding the owls was amazing. He paired each of my kids with an owl and they just loved it.

    Highlight of our honeymoon and memories we will treasure forever. We are both huge birds of prey fans and had a barn owl deliver the rings at our wedding ceremony. Was so nice to see and spend quality time with Púca the Barn Owl, as well as the other owls Dusty and Freddie and the two harris hawks, Khaleesi and one we affectionately named Hei Hei (Liam we hope the name sticks!). Liam was absolutely fantastic and we can't recommend him or this experience more than enough. Liam is so knowledgeable and you can tell that he has a genuine love and respect for all his birds which is incredibly endearing to witness and be a part of. Time just flew and we wished we could have stayed longer. We will be back for sure !!

    It was raining at our scheduled time but Mark had us in an enclosure with 3 birds and we were able to interact with them for quite a while. Mark was great. We learned so much, and he knew these birds so well. If you are in the area I would recommend scheduling with these fine folks.

  • 5/5 Matt S. 1 year ago on Google
    Mark was really nice and seemed to know each bird very well. He was very knowledgeable. Handling the falcon and owls was a fantastic experience. Definitely a top memory from our overall trip.
