Highlights
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.

About Kenmare
Kenmare is a heritage town at the head of Kenmare Bay in County Kerry, between the Ring of Kerry and Beara, with a stone circle and good food.
Kenmare sits at the head of Kenmare Bay in south-west Ireland, with the mountains of the Beara and Iveragh peninsulas on either side. The town was laid out as a planned settlement in the eighteenth century, and its colourful main streets are lined with shops, pubs and restaurants. A Bronze Age stone circle stands on the edge of the town, and Kenmare lace, first made by nuns in the nineteenth century, is recalled in a heritage centre.
