About this tour

Ireland is a place where landscape, history, story, and daily life meet in a way that feels both inviting and unforgettable. Over 9 days, you’ll travel from Dublin to Galway, through Connemara and The Burren, along the Wild Atlantic Way to Dingle, on to Cork and Cobh, and then back east through the legendary Rock of Cashel.

This trip is designed for photographers who want meaningful experiences, striking scenery, time to explore, and supportive, approachable instruction along the way. You’ll photograph dramatic cliffs, sweeping coastlines, colorful towns, ancient ruins, and lively city moments — all with space to learn, practice, and grow.
