Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a fun way to spend the afternoon! We were a group of 10 and Trevor was knowledgeable and entertaining. We all got the chance to interact with all of the birds - from barn owls to hawks. None of us had experienced falconry before and didn’t exactly know what to expect but it was amazing! Highly recommend!

Trevor is passionate about his birds and it shows. My friend and I visited in late July and enjoyed an experience of a lifetime. We selected Falconry B and we’re treated to nearly four hours of education and experiences. Thank you Trevor, your owls,hawks, and falcons are magnificent and our interaction with them provides a lifelong memory!

The whole experience with Trevor at Dublin Falconry was such a wonderful and exciting adventure. Trevor is truly a well educated and passionate falconer. The first five minutes spent with him and his birds I was committed to this new experience that I before was never interested in....They won me over... He went out of his way to make sure his birds were always safe and his guests had everything they needed to remember their session. Thank you for introducing us to the world of Falconry, money well spent....Thank you Trevor again and again..

My granddaughter, her friend and I were recently in Dublin and decided to take a day out from our site seeing and visit Trevor and Dublin Falconry. What an amazing afternoon we had. We got to meet owls, hawks and a falcon and not only got to handle several but learned more about these birds and their individual personalities than we ever thought possible. Trevor clearly loves his birds and sharing his knowledge about them with others. We would wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Falconry if you are in the area.

My husband and I joined Trevor and his hawk "Coco" last week on a walk that was one of the best experiences of our trip to Ireland. Before the walk, Trevor introduced us, in great detail, to all his birds - other falcons and owls- whom he clearly has a great affection for. The walk exceeded our expectations. Coco was very well trained and it was thrilling to have such a magnificent bird repeatedly zoom in and gracefully land on your glove! Trevor, it was a joy to share in your passion for these birds and we can't thank you enough!

We had such an amazing time with Trevor from start to finish. We got to see all different types of falcons and owls and learned so much about them. Trevor told us the background of the birds and everything in between. The price for the experience was amazing and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I recommend this place to any family (without young children) any time you can get the chance to fit it in your schedule. Nothing but the best from Trevor much thanks for the experience

A group of 5 of us booked a private hawk walk. First, Trevor showed us all of his birds and explained in detail about the different types. After, we went out onto the beautiful property and got to learn more about the hawk and watch it fly. It didn't take long to get to have the hawk fly to us which a couple of us were quite nervous about. Trevor made us feel at ease and made sure the bird and us were safe the whole time. We got to walk around the property and have the hawk fly to us multiple times each. We were there for over two hours and had plenty of time to listen, ask questions, take photos and videos of the experience. Trevor is FANTASTIC, so kind and clearly LOVES his birds and his job. I highly recommend booking a private tour with him :).

I usually take a couple of days to write a review, but this had to be done immediately-that's how delighted we were with Trevor and his birds. My husband, 12 year old son and myself visited Trevor today and did the Hawk Walk. From the very beginning, when Trevor greeted us, we knew were in for a tweet. Trevor is a master of his craft, warm, engaging and passionate about falconry. His enthusiasm and knowledge are infectious. This experience is truly thrilling and unique, especially for anyone with interests in history and the natural world, as well as animal lovers. All of us got to actually have the falcon fly to us and land on our gloved hand under his instruction. The experience was exciting all the way through, and we learned so much about these beautiful creatures. The setting is also beautiful, and the experience didn't feel rushed. It's not the cheapest activity, but afterwards you feel it was entirely worth it. Must do in Dublin! Highly recommend!

Hello,
I am trying to book a hawk walk at the new location. I have sent a few emails to the address on the Dublin Falconry site and to the castle with no response. I’ve also tried to call both numbers but they won’t go through.
Can anyone give me information on how to get a hold of them or book online?
Thank you,
Natasha

We are hoping to visit the Falconry center in April! Do you mind telling me which package you chose (Hawk Walk, Falcon A, Falcon B, etc)? We are trying to decide on the best option and I am SO excited I found this place!
Thanks!

We chose to take the 101 bus from Talbot St. in Dublin, note this is not the city bus but Bus Éireann. The bus runs every 35-45 minutes and there is a bus stop right at Courtlough. From there is is a 15 min. walk through the countryside up to Trevor's. After we finished, we walked back to the stop and a bus picked us up within 20 minutes. I think the ride was about 40 minutes each way, traffic permitting. It couldn't have been any easier. However, as stated previously, Trevor was talking about moving, so check with him. Do not miss out on this experience!

Hello!
My husband and I will be staying at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin, and would like to do your Hawk Walk on May 25 or 26. Do you have availability for two on either day?
How do we get from our hotel to your place? (And return!)
What is the cost for two, how long does the Hawk Walk last, and how should we dress?
Thank you!
