Overview

An "off the beaten track" experience as well as a superb way to explore the Killarney National Park and the remote rural valleys below the highest mountains in Ireland. This nine hour photography and sightseeing tour visits wonderful locations in Killarney before we follow a series of narrow roads that take us to incredible scenery with delightful subjects to capture with our cameras or phones.

Simply sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful tour or, if you’re capturing precious moments at the fabulous locations we’re visiting, I’ll provide tips and tuition on how to improve your photography with any camera or phone. All our locations are easy to access with no strenuous walking or climbing!

I've been a regular visitor to County Kerry throughout my life, as my mother was originally from Dingle. I’ve been living in Kerry for over 20 years and I've spent the best part of the last 30 years discovering great locations to capture the beauty of the area as a landscape photographer.

Black Valley

The Black Valley is one of the remotest places in Ireland and the last area to receive electricity from the grid. We explore a rural paradise of narrow roads, which meander below the peaks of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, discovering magical and unspoilt terrain, hidden away from most tourists and visitors. Rolling green hillsides beneath the mountain peaks surround a land of waterfalls, crystal clear lakes, bubbling rivers and cascades. Woven into this beautiful landscape we find forestry, woodlands and sheep farms as well as the iconic ruin of “Molly’s Cottage” at the far end of the valley.
