From our beautiful home in the foothills of the Sierra de Lijar mountains in Andalucia, Southern Spain you can get up close and personal with our incredible team of raptors including Hawks, Owls, Falcons and Vultures. During a 3 hour morning or afternoon session with our highly experienced team, learn the basics of handling a bird of prey and how to use the specialist equipment. Take our birds on a hawk walk around our field and have them follow you from tree to tree then land gently on your outstretched arm. Take a stroll with our amazing Vultures then witness them soar using the rising thermal currents, then as they disappear into the blue skies, call them down to gently land on your arm.
All ages welcome, a great activity for all the family. Perfect as a compliment to the Parahawking Experience to get some hands on before your flight or even as a standalone experience that is both educational and fun. Plus it's a great opportunity to get some memorable photographs.
