Falconry is the practice of handling and flying birds of prey under the guidance of trained handlers. It is often offered as a cultural, educational or heritage experience at wildlife centres, conservation parks and specialist falconry venues while travelling abroad.
ActivitySure can cover falconry when you are taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Falconry must be undertaken at an amateur level only. As the activity involves close contact with birds of prey and supervised handling, it is important to have suitable travel insurance in place before taking part.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for falconry?
Falconry has a long history and remains closely linked with cultural traditions in parts of the Middle East, including destinations such as the UAE and Qatar. Travellers can also take part in supervised falconry experiences in countries such as Morocco, where falconry centres offer demonstrations and handling sessions. In the UK, falconry is commonly available through wildlife parks and specialist centres, often as part of educational displays and hands-on experiences.
Most travellers take part through organised sessions led by experienced handlers who provide safety briefings and supervision throughout.
Here's why falconary travel insurance matters:
Handling birds of prey can involve risks such as scratches, bites or minor impact injuries, particularly when birds are landing on a glove or moving close to the face and hands. Although most experiences are controlled and supervised, accidents can still happen. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if you need medical treatment or support while abroad.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear the safety equipment provided, such as a glove, and keep it secured as instructed.
- Listen closely to the handlers instructions before and during the session.
- Avoid approaching birds from behind or making sudden movements near them.
- Keep a safe distance from other birds unless you are told it is safe to move closer.
- Be mindful of your hands and face when birds are landing or taking off.
- Always follow the instructions provided by the organiser and adhere to any safety recommendations, including wearing appropriate safety equipment.
