This is a private, small-group photography experience led by a working professional photographer — not a tour guide with a camera. Maximum 3 guests means genuine one-to-one guidance throughout, from boat to island to clifftop. Most Skellig boats leave from Portmagee. We depart from Kenmare at 7.30am, with a scenic 50 minute drive to your licensed boat operator. On the water, you'll circumnavigate the Little Skellig gannet colony — over 30,000 birds — at close range. On Skellig Michael, puffins nest within metres of the path. You'll have time, guidance, and the right vantage points to make images you're proud of, not just snapshots from a moving crowd.

Kevin will enrich the walk with stories of the ancient past, the recent past right up to today, and plenty of Irish folklore, myth, legend, history, and geology—a very enriching experience all around in some beautiful landscape. The rhythm and pace of walking lend themselves to good conversation, and when you throw the inspirational scenery of the Dingle Peninsula into that mix, it all adds up to a great place and space to spend time with friends and family or just go solo. The distance covered will be approximately 3 miles (5km) on mostly flat terrain, which is very doable.
