Experience having a free flying hawk fly and land next to you! During this private 45 minute program, you will join our Raptor Centre staff and one of our trained Harris’s Hawks for a walk through a picturesque field setting. The program involves the hawk flying along behind you and near you, and landing on a perch in your hand. At the end of the walk the hawk will perch next to you for photo opportunities.
Hawk Walks are weather dependent. We reserve the right to cancel a Hawk Walk 24 hours in advance of the program in the case of inclement weather. If your Hawk Walk is cancelled, you will have the option to reschedule (if space is available) or receive a refund.
