SALTEE ISLAND WORKSHOP | SEABIRDS PHOTOGRAPHY
The Saltee Islands are located five kilometers off the south coast of Wexford County in Ireland. The set consists of two islands called Great Saltee and Little Saltee. The two islands have been uninhabited since the beginning of the 20th century and are a paradise for bird photography. A place that every photography lover has to visit at least once in his life. Where we can photograph gannets, razorbills, kittiwakes, oystercatchers and, of course, puffins.

The price is all included.
- Transfer from Dublin to Kilmore: rental vehicles driven by our guides from the Dublin airport to the accommodation.
