Deluxe Puffins Galore Lighthouse Island Adventure
One Room Left — August 10–13, 2026
Join me for an unforgettable Puffin photography escape on a remote lighthouse island.
With just one room remaining, this is a rare opportunity to be part of a truly intimate experience. We’ll be staying in newly renovated lighthouse accommodations, less than 200 metres (220 yards) from the nesting birds — a five-minute walk puts you in position for both sunrise and sunset.
Days are spent in the field from first light to last, surrounded by the constant energy and sound of seabirds, and evenings are shared over highly rated, chef-crafted coastal meals that round out the experience in all the right ways.
One of the biggest advantages of this location is just how close everything is. You’re in complete control of your schedule. When the light gets harsh, you can step away for a shower, grab a quick nap, download your images, or simply reset — then head right back out when the light improves. No long drives, no lost time, no pressure.
While Atlantic Puffins are the stars, they’re far from the only subject. You can expect to photograph a diverse mix of Razorbills, Common Murres, Black Guillemots, Common Eiders, Savannah Sparrows, multiple shorebird species, gulls, Grey Seals — and even the chance of Minke Whales.
This timing puts us right in the heart of the season, when puffins are actively bringing in fish to feed their young — fast-paced, behaviour-rich moments that pay off in a portfolio of incredible images.
This isn’t just another workshop. It’s a focused, immersive experience designed to help you come home with a portfolio that reflects it.
One room left — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
“Thank you so much for the images and for sharing your time and knowledge with us! To single out a single favourite thing would be impossible, as the entire Workshop was truly wonderful. Everything from the setting, and being amongst so many puffins in their natural habitat, to the freedom to wander and explore with each other or on our own, to the excitement of forever searching the skies for a puffin with a mouth full of fish... it was truly an incredible and unforgettable experience. I will never forget the wondrous feeling of standing on the beach, as countless puffins flew overhead (in arms reach!) into their burrows on the cliffs, knowing that this is all part of their annual journey and that most of the time they will be out at the sea, on their own... How lucky are we?!! Technically, my biggest takeaway is the focus (no pun intended) on getting everything right "in-camera" the first time, and getting to feel more comfortable trusting my histogram without stressing about ISO numbers. Clearly, from the feedback on my images, it was a very valuable lesson.
I will forever have cherished memories of these whimsical and adorable seabirds, as well as new friendships with others I never would have had the opportunity to have met.
I highly recommend this Workshop for anyone interested in a magical experience and opportunity to photograph puffins with an incredible, professional photographer and guide. Thank you again! It would be wonderful to be able to take part in another workshop, as all of them sound beyond extraordinary and you, as a guide and mentor along the way, make all the difference!”
