Falconry

An unforgettable experience for all the family, the Eagle Odyssey allows you to get up close and personal with these magnificent, powerful birds of prey.  Beginning with a walk of the wonderful Castle woodlands accompanied by a dare-devil hawk, you will be shown the ropes of this fabulous sport and then introduced to four truly spectacular eagles. Each eagle is very different in appearance, behaviour, characteristics and flying style and will get larger in size as your experience goes on.

During your experience you will be shown how to handle and fly the eagles. You will see the eagles soar high above the Castle, stoop into your gloved hand, demonstrate fishing over our azalea pond and finish with a ‘mock hunt’. Appreciate the commitment, power and unswerving focus of these huge apex predators with this extraordinary demonstration.

The Glenapp Eagle Fishing experience can only be described as unique. This once-in-a-life time experience is not available anywhere else in the world. To start this amazing day, you will get acquainted with the Eagle, and fly a few other raptors from the Castle grounds before heading to Girvan where you will embark the Glenapp Castle Boat and enjoyed a spirited ride along the rugged Ayrshire coast before anchoring below the cliffs at Culzean Castle. You will be joined by our expert Falconers and ‘Ripley’, the famous African Sea Eagle, and will experience an epic demonstration of an eagles power and agility as she flies between the shore-line and the vessel, taking food rewards from the water directly beside the Boat. Whether you simply watch in awe, or take photographs and videos for your personal ‘insta’ moments, the memory of this experience will last forever and the spectacle will never again be so close to you. This is a full day experience, suitable for all the family, and a trip to the iconic Ailsa Craig with a picnic is included.

£2800 for a full day experience for up to 8 Guests
