About this tour
Meet the remarkable birds of prey that soar over Nevada during a Reno Raptor and Falconry Experience. In a small group, get an up-close introduction to hawks, falcons, and owls with guidance from a licensed falconer.
After a brief orientation, learn about raptor biology, conservation, field identification, behavior, and natural history. Then slip on a falconer's gauntlet and take a short walk with a trained hawk. Watch as she launches from perch to perch and swoops back to your hand, offering a vivid look at her agility and skill. Snacks are included, and the experience lasts about 60 minutes.
The encounter takes place about 40 minutes from downtown Reno. Plan your return ride before you go, since rideshare pickups can be unreliable or unavailable. Book this Reno Raptor and Falconry Experience for a memorable chance to connect with these powerful birds and learn what makes them thrive.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 106 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Reno
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.9. Top 3% in Reno means it ranks in the top 3% of tours in Reno by this score.
