Raptor Domain: Birds of Prey Free-Flight Experience

Stand in the open air as wedge-tailed eagles, owls, falcons, and kites fly just centimetres overhead in one of Australia's most celebrated birds-of-prey shows. An adrenaline-tinged, deeply moving encounter with apex aerial hunters.

What to expect

You settle into an open-air amphitheatre carved into native bushland as the show begins with the soft hoot of a barn owl gliding silently overhead. Handlers release a succession of raptors — each with its own story — culminating in the awe-inspiring flight of a wedge-tailed eagle, Australia's largest bird of prey, which sweeps low enough for you to feel the rush of its wings. Commentary is expert, passionate, and laced with real conservation urgency. There is an optional 'meet the reptiles' add-on for those who dare.
