The day begins before the town wakes: mist rising off the Upper Lake, a lone swan cutting a white line through glass, and a guide—camera strap over his shoulder—gesturing toward a ridge where light will break in minutes. On Micheál O’Sullivan’s full‑day photo tour, Killarney unrolls like a live set of scenes: ancient oakwood, serrated mountain ridgelines, and still lakes that push reflections at you as if daring a better composition.

Bring a compact tripod
A lightweight tripod stabilizes long exposures at waterfalls and low‑light lakeshores—choose one that fits your bag for an easier hike.
Waterproof layers and shoes
Trails can be wet and muddy; breathable waterproofs and grippy walking shoes keep you shooting comfortably all day.
Charge and clear memory
Bring fully charged batteries and at least one spare memory card—full‑day shoots consume batteries and storage quickly.
Start early for solitude
Plan for pre‑dawn or early‑morning starts to avoid crowds at popular viewpoints like Ladies View and Ross Castle.
Camera or smartphone
