Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

After three wildlife tours we found out about this place and wanted to try it out. The Raptors is in between a zoo and a wildlife tour. Almost all the birds were raised by humans. But they are wild and could choose to go back to the wild but choose not to because who could refuse a consistent meal?
We also chose to do the Closest Encounter experience which at $110 is not cheap but compared to wildlife tours it's very cheap. In over one hour we got to experience having an Aplomado Falcon (so cute), American Kestrel (stunning) and Harris's Hawk (majestic) land on our gloved hands like real falconers. We also got the chance to feed a Black Vulture which reminded me of my pet dog. It's a once in a lifetime experience.
We also went to two Flying Demonstrations which were really entertaining and educational. I appreciated seeing a Bald Eagle 🦅, a Barn Owl, an American Kestrel, a Barred Owl, and a Saker Falcon fly around and thrill the audience.
I would highly recommend The Raptors. Even without doing any of the experiences you can have an amazing time with the Flying Demonstrations, Talks, Exhibits, etc.

Unfortunately it was raining but we still enjoyed it. Robyn was a great and knowledgeable demonstrator. We all enjoyed the closer experience. I didn’t give it five star because it is quite pricey. The birds are beautiful and well cared for. You can tell the staff love their birds

Fantastic! Three of us booked the "closest" experience and loved every minute of it. Kudos to very helpful (Tina) and knowledgeable (Isaac) staff. The presentation was also extremely informative and delivered with a much enjoyed touch of humour (sorry, I did not catch her name). A definite must!

The opportunity to get up close and personal with the raptors was what drew us here. My friends did the "Closest" tour and got to hold the birds and have them land and take off on them, which they really enjoyed. It was unfortunately raining pretty heavily so the demonstration wasn't as pleasant as it could have been, though they made the most of it! The birds were beautiful and majestic, the staff were great, but the site itself left a bit to be desired: the birds were hard to see behind the thick mesh and hiding from the rain. We probably would have loved it a lot more in the sun!

A wonderful experience to be able to see these amazing birds up close, we chose the general admission and stayed for 2 flying demonstrations, well worth it! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the birds are well cared for and free to fly away if they so desire but always come back…also great for kids to learn and appreciate them

The Closer Experience was fantastic. Beautiful Harris Hawk landing on my raised arm - what a thrill.

Spent a terrific afternoon here with group of 6 ranging from age 23-90. General presentation was entertaining and informative. We all really enjoyed the extra Hawk's Encounter we purchased, highly recommend. Would like to return and do an even longer experience, but with the older folks in our group we didn't feel comfortable signing up for a longer event this visit. We all agreed it was a fun afternoon and something different than anything we had done before.

Logistics Tip - We traveled via ferry from Vancouver to Victoria (Ferry - Vancouver to Tsawwassen) then drove north to Duncan to see the Raptors. Rather than go back to Victoria, we traveled a short bit further and hopped on the Ferry at Duke Point that brought us back to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal in Vancouver.
This was an AMAZING experience. We did the "closest encounter" where we got to walk through the grounds before meeting Ryley, our guide, and interacting with "Slightly, Emerald, Fraction & Theo." "Kyle" the raven was a sweetheart, too, prancing around in his enclosure and pool hankering for our attention. The older I get the more I appreciate what raptors do for the environment and why they are important in the food chain. Ryley expertly handled our four new acquaintances and answered our every question. We learned why vultures are a bird of prey but not a raptor because they don't have the three sharp "S's" - Sharp beak, sharp eyes and sharp talons. When Slightly flapped his wings and headed for the piece of meat on my leather glove, it was like nothing I've ever experienced. You could feel the wind on your face as he landed gently and picked up his treat. Don't. Miss. This.

My wife and I had a spectacular experience here and would 1000% recommend. We did the Raptor Experience and started at 2:15pm. It was a beautiful sunny day which elevated the experience even more.
Every person we met from the Raptors was pleasant, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Really enjoyed our time with Alex. She was very friendly and knows her stuff!
Spend the extra money on the Raptor Experience. You will not regret it. The birds all have such personality and are magnificent creatures.

What a fantastic experience, even though we had some inclement weather the team at The Raptors put on an excellent show offering witty comments whilst producing a dynamic show.
All I can say is well done and thanks for a wonderful experience. More than worth the entrance fee.

We are staying in Victoria and would love to come visit for the day. What kind of public transport will get us to your centre??
Skrevet 30. mars 2018
Sorry, it's not my centre. There is an island bus system but I don't think they go to the centre, that said you could take a taxi.

Hi Raptors,
I am 66 years of age and retired on 20 acres in the Cedar area. I would like to know if you guys give lessons on how to raise and handle birds of prey? I have no experience except for nursing an eagle back to health when I lived in Africa many years ago.
Is your facility open this time of year?
Many thanks Martin.
Skrevet 11. januar 2017
Hi Martin,
We do offer a week-long falconry course for those who are interested in getting in to private falconry (or for those who just really enjoy working with birds!) These run twice a year. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information! ( info@the-raptors . com ).
We are currently closed for January/February, but will re-open March 11th.

If we book the hawk walk or hawk encounter or raptor experience for my husband would I be able to accompany and take photos?
Skrevet 29. april 2015
What else is there to do after you have seen the 1 o'clock show? The reason I am asking is because I will have 20 children with me.
Skrevet 16. februar 2015
Sorry for the delay answering! You hopefully called ahead and booked a tour - we offer 1/2 hour tours for groups of your size, which runs before the flying demonstration. It adds a lot of information to your visit. If you have already been, hopefully you had a great time!

What varieties of owls are at Pacific Northwest Raptors. Need to make two choices between the hawk, owl and raptor encounters for our visit in May.
Thanking you in advance for any assistance.
Skrevet 3. januar 2015
I would talk to them when you get there and they can explain the difference. I do not think you will be disappointed with any of them.We did the hawk walk as well as the encounters. I'm not sure now but one of those (I think it is the encounter) allows you to hold "perched on your arm" on of the birds and you sorta get a choice to a point. That was really quite an experience. So was the walk where they fly to your arm in the woods. Just amazing. The staff was very helpful in helping us choose as I was a little confused from what I read and wasn't sure. We were there in October and it was not at all crowded which was a major plus.
