To Book

We'd be delighted to arrange your walk.

Online booking isn't available just now — but a walk is only ever a phone call or an email away, and we answer quickly.

Ireland's School of Falconry, Ashford Castle Estate, Cong, Co. Mayo.

To Book

A walk with a hawk.

Tell us a little about your group, then choose a time that suits. It takes a minute.

Who's coming along?

Each walk is private to your group alone.

From seven guests, the walk is arranged as two or more groups.

Spectators walk with you but don't fly a hawk. Two maximum.

Everyone attending must be 7 years or older — an insurance requirement we're unable to vary, and it applies to spectators too.
