Private Falconry Experience

Meet our falconer and get up close and personal with his majestic birds of prey. Since 2009 we have used the ancient art of falconry to provide a natural bird abatement program, ensuring that the resort is free from droppings and bacteria from seagulls, pigeons and crows who would otherwise overrun the area. Suitable for ages 5+. Includes personal introduction to the birds, and a guided tour of the property where Joe is working.
