Hello, I'm George, welcome to Ireland! I live in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the hills and mountains of the Dingle peninsula. Beginning with childhood holidays at my mother's home in Dingle and eventually moving here to pursue scenic photography full-time, I've spent over 30 years exploring and photographing County Kerry as well as the rest of Ireland, discovering the backroads and small lanes that meander along the hillsides, through the farmlands, past ancient churches, castles, standing stones and even farm tracks, that just end abruptly on the wild Atlantic coastline. Since 2016, I've been leading tours and teaching photography workshops for all abilities, whether you're an absolute beginner, serious amateur photographer, or just want to take beautiful shots on your phone. I carry tripods and filters in the minibus which you are welcome to use with your camera or mobile phone. For those who wish to experiment with a DSLR camera, I have a few models you can try - just request this when booking. You can improve your photography using any camera, device or phone while visiting a variety of stunning and carefully chosen locations, largely away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist routes. Visit parts of Ireland you'd never generally get to see, as we follow the back roads, narrow lanes and trails, discovering landscapes that will both captivate and enchant you. Over 30 years I've explored Ireland with my camera along the Atlantic coastline from Kinsale to Donegal and beyond into County Antrim in Ulster. I can use this intimate knowledge of Ireland to tailor a private day tour to your exact requirements, whether you want to improve your photography, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the amazing scenery, from ancient castles and ecclesiastical sites to stunning beaches and cliffs or mountain passes. If you want to hike along the many marked paths or trails to explore these beautiful locations further, or even walk beside the dramatic Atlantic coastline, I can also plan drop-off and pick-up points into your tour or even put my walking boots on and explore the wonderful scenery with you. - City & Guilds of London Photography - Failte Ireland Wild Atlantic Way Champion During my tours I have no restrictions.

With exceptional views out to the Skellig Islands from its craggy Atlantic coastline, the Iveragh Peninsula also embraces a wealth of scenic locations, panoramic vistas and atmospheric structures that can be found as we weave our way around the Ring of Kerry. As we follow small lanes and single lane tracks that meander their way from the main road comprising the Ring of Kerry, we access amazing locations including picturesque mountain passes, sandy beaches, charismatic abandoned castles, ancient abbeys and rural scenery beside the wild Atlantic ocean. Bring your camera, phone or any device that takes photos, and capture wonderful images, improving your photography with ongoing tips and advice, or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the tour of all the fabulous locations that we'll visit. This tour is ideal for any level of interest, ability and experience of photography and I'm also more than happy to use my photography skills to capture wonderful memories of you and your group in this amazing landscape.
Iveragh is the largest Peninsula in South West Ireland, and the Ring of Kerry is a 111 mile circuit of this peninsula. I personally don’t find one day is enough time to really explore everything this amazing area has to offer. Well known guidebooks recommend a visit of at least two or three days on the Iveragh Peninsula and I’m in complete agreement with them. As well as glaciated valleys with scenic mountain passes and the wonderful rural countryside, we can visit castles, stone forts and remote fishing piers and beaches. There’s also a variety of rock art, standing stones and atmospheric abandoned structures to discover and capture on our journey. My own favorite locations to visit are: Derrynane House and Abbey Island Valentia Island and Lighthouse The Kerry Cliffs and St Finians Bay If you’ve only a day to explore this area, I can customise your tour to your exact desire, but do consider two or three days in this area to enjoy a rich experience of the Kerry landscape.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
Toyota 7 seat minibus - I can carry 6 passengers but the 6th seat is a bit of a squeeze though ideal for smaller people :)
