Falconry Experiences in La Jolla
All our Falconry Experiences are interactive. They can be booked as part of a group, with a maximum of 12 participants, or privately. Experiences will last between 1.5 and 2 hours and the program is mostly decided by our birds, who have minds of their own. Falconry Experiences are held at the historical Torrey Pines Gliderport on the cliffs of La Jolla.
Please read our description, as well as our booking and refund policy before choosing your Experience. For larger groups, contact us to customize your event.
