MAGICAL IRELAND PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR
The Beauty of Ireland through your Lens
We are so excited about Cork and Click’s NEW Ireland Photography Tour! Nowhere we’ve traveled has captured our hearts like Ireland. It is a country with rich history, stunning beauty, spectacular architecture, cozy pubs and a culture of art, music and legendary the Irish wit that must be experienced by everyone!
All of the above factors make it the best place, in our humble opinion, to take control of your camera and bring home extraordinary images! Everyday will provide new lessons and opportunity for sensational photography. Think of it like 8 days of private photography lessons while touring Ireland and staying at fantastic hotels and properties. We’ll be there the whole way, instructing and making sure your getting shots you’ll be proud to share with friends and family for a lifetime.
This is a “show up and we’ll take care of everything” tour. From in-country travel, tours, entertainment and luxury accommodation, we’ve thought of everything to make this tour a one of a kind, bucket list experience.
(Non-photographer partners or friends welcome! They’ll love it! No kids under 18 please)
Your Ireland Photography Tour Itinerary
An Enchanted Journey
DAY 1
Welcome to Ireland!
Meet your private driver at the airport and transfer to Rui Gresham hotel. The rest of the day is yours to relax and refresh from your travels or enjoy a complimentary “Hop on, Hop Off” tour of the city.
We will also be providing you with a list of additional options and ideas for this first day if jet lag cannot keep you down!
DAY 2
After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll meet for a day of photography and touring in and around Dublin. We will see some of our favorites gems as well as a few off the beaten path areas not usually found by tourists. The evening will include live Irish music and dancing at The Merry Poughboy.
DAY 3
After another delicious Irish Breakfast*, we’ll head out of town to The Wicklow Mountains National Park to Powerscourt and Avoca Handloom Weavers. Powerscourt is an large country estate famous for it’s beautiful house and wonderfully landscaped gardens and Avoca Weavers not only produce wonderful throws, scarves and knitwear, they also produce delicious food, gift and ceramics. You might want to pack and empty bag to stock up on Holiday gifts here!
After a day of touring, we’ll head to Kilkenny to the stunning Mount Juilet Estate.
DAY 4
Because the Mount Juliet Estate is a landmark to visit on it’s own, we will spend the morning enjoying it! You could book a spa appointment here, go fishing, book a falconry experience or just wander and take a bunch of photos with us!
After lunch, we’ll head for a walking tour of medieval Kilkenny and Smithwick’s brewery.
DAY 5
This morning, we’ll head to meet our driver to set off to Waterford for our private tour of the Waterford Crystal Factory. We’ll learn all about how the famous crystal is made and witness pieces being produced in front of our eyes (and cameras! ?).
After the Waterford tour, we’ll take a walking tour of the city for more fantastic photo opportunities. Founded by the Vikings, it is thought to be the oldest city in Ireland.
From Waterford, we’ll join our driver to head to County Cork for more photography opportunities including meeting up with an award-winning photographer to show us some hidden spots.
Then onto an other special accommodation – Hayfield Manor.
DAY 6
From Hayfield Manor, we’ll catch the coach to Blarney Castle and kiss the famous Blarney Stone, and then onto Killarney for our stay at Muckross House and Gardens.
At Muckross, we will get a private horse and carriage tour and, in the evening, a night of entertainment at Major Colghens and their Irish Night Pub Show rated Kerry’s best traditional entertainment and dinner show with Irish dinner, live music and dancing.
DAY 7
On this day, we will take our private tour on the loop road around the Dingle Peninsula. This is one of our favorite spots in Ireland for beauty and photographic opportunities! From bay and coves to hillsides dotted with sheep that lead to the sea, you’re in for a real treat!
From Dingle, we’ll pop over to Adare in County Limerick renowned as one of Irelands’ prettiest towns!
Then onto our last property stay at 5 star Dromoland Castle. This renowned property is just stunning and a perfect way to close out this tour.
DAY 8
Cue sad music….
After breakfast, we get ready to say goodbye to Ireland and our new wonderful friends we’ve met on this tour!
If you are flying out of Shannon, your driver will take you to the airport. If you plan on doing further travel from here, we can help with arrangements to get you back to Dublin.
