Step into a living medieval world at the Sokolarski Raptor Centre — rated 4.9 stars and one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters in Dalmatia. Handle eagles, falcons, and owls with master falconers and discover the ancient art of Croatian falconry.
What to expect
The centre is set in a dramatic outdoor setting in the Šibenik hinterland where trained raptors — golden eagles, peregrine falcons, eagle owls — are flown in free flight demonstrations. Expert falconers explain the history of falconry in Croatian medieval courts while encouraging you to hold and interact with the birds. The experience is educational, emotional, and deeply memorable, especially for families or nature lovers.
Good to know
Book a private group slot directly with the centre for the most immersive experience. Allow 20–30 minutes transport from the pier. The centre has exceptional reviews from families, couples, and solo travellers alike. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring a camera with a zoom lens for the free-flight sequences.
