Tour Overview
Explore and photograph Northern Ireland on this unique photo tour. Although the tour begins and ends in Belfast, the itinerary also encompasses the Donegal Peninsula of Ireland. It is good to know that visitors can freely travel by road between Ireland and Northern Ireland without any concerns other than having some Sterling & Euro currencies with you.

Explore and photograph Northern Ireland on this unique photo tour. Although the tour begins and ends in Belfast, the itinerary also encompasses the Donegal Peninsula of Ireland. It is good to know that visitors can freely travel by road between Ireland and Northern Ireland without any concerns other than having some Sterling & Euro currencies with you. The six counties of Northern Ireland emerged from the shadow of The Troubles some time ago, and now it’s actually difficult to know when you have even crossed the border.
The tour is open to all levels of photography and painting. It will focus on improving your photos from your camera or cell phone to your final work. Your guides will focus your time in-country getting you to the right places for good light and color; you can focus your time post trip on completing your vision of the subject matter. This is true for all artists whether that be in the format of a painting, photograph, or mixed media. We encourage a mix of painters and photographers, as they have much to learn from one another.
Like the work of English artist William Turner, you will be in search of beautiful light every day and evening. Turner is perhaps the best-loved English Romantic artist. He became known as the painter of light, because of his increasing interest in brilliant colors as the main constituent in his landscapes and seascapes. His works include watercolors, oils, and engravings of light-filled romantic settings of land, and seascapes.
This photo tour itinerary of the Donegal Peninsula, Londonderry, the Glen’s of Antrim, & Giant’s Causeway opens up the discerning artist to a combination of seascapes, landscapes, culture, and ancient ruins. Donegal forms the northwestern corner of Ireland and is probably the least explored. Visit the fishing port of Killybegs, Slieve League and Glencolumbkille, an exceptionally peaceful and haunting place. The peninsula provides ample opportunity for documentary photography amidst these charming villages.
Northern Ireland boasts one world heritage site, the world’s oldest distillery, historic ruined castles, and some of the most amazing landscape images. Your guides will navigate you to be at the right place at the right light. This is sure to be an unforgettable journey through the splendor that is all of Northern Ireland. If you wish to extend your stay to explore Belfast further on your own, please contact Strabo Tours and we would be pleased to offer some accommodation suggestions.
