Derek O'Keeffe
My journey in the Irish travel industry began early, shaped by a family love for the island’s landscapes and stories. Over more than 26 years, I have built a reputation for designing private tours that feel relaxed, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Recognised as Ireland’s 2025 Bespoke Tour Operator of the Year, I am trusted by travellers who value insight, care, and a genuine connection to the places they visit. Decades spent exploring Ireland’s quieter corners have given me an intimate knowledge of the country, from the dramatic Atlantic coastline to the understated charm of rural villages. I have an understanding of Irish history, folklore, and local life that turns each journey into a living narrative. With me as your guide, travel becomes more than sightseeing, offering moments of connection with the people, stories, and traditions that define Ireland. Known for tours that are refined yet unhurried, I brings together comfort, flexibility, and local insight in a way that feels natural and effortless. Our story and approach are reflected in every journey, whether travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way or through Ireland’s Ancient East, with guests experiencing the country at their own pace, guided by someone who knows Ireland not just as a destination, but as home.

I teach Zen Mindfullness Meditation photography classes with an Irish Wolfhound while singing Pogue songs. Checkout my Irish Wolfhounds YouTube account > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion. Im twice qualified as a commercial photographer. Mo Chuisle ( meaning Pulse of my heart in old Gaelic) has won 5x dog shows and she does Hospital therapy visits and events such as the Hill of Uisneach. Mo Chuisle does sit and shake paw for treats. She weighs 60 kilo is 32.5" inches tall at the wethers and runs at 65kph / 40mph! Her boyfriend is the same white/creamy head of Guinness coloured, but he weighs 100kg and is 6" inches taller. I give photography classes either indoors or whilst walking the Cliffs of Doon/Dooneen or Ballybunion Strand. Get the most out of your phones camera & learn how to enjoy Zen Mindfullness walking photography. Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound adores making new friends. Throw apples for her and watch her zoom after them, toss them into the air, catch them as they fall and munch them. Ice cream cones last less then 3 seconds with her. Gulp. I have decades of experience as a Professional Photographer. Let me teach you how to read and understand light quality, mobile phone camera technology and take sharper better images. Ballybunion is Irelands premier seaside resort. Golden fine beaches at the mouth of the river Shannon. Checkout > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion > on YouTube to see why Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound gets over a million views per year on the Internet. Nick named > Platinum blonde beach bum baby girl or Big nose for short. Mobile phone 085 838 0709. Email Karlwhitekerry@gmail.com. Address 1 Ferndale Sandhill Road Ballybunion Co Kerry V31HX74. 200 meters from the beach in the heart of town. Irish wolfhounds are a direct living connection to our ancient Celtic heritage and the oldest dog breed in Ireland and the UK. The tallest dog breed in the world. I also do an interesting history of photography class and of Irish History. Stronger, faster and more agile than a Wild Wolf, the Irish Wolfhound, the dog of Kings and the king of all dogs!

Dom Pio O'Cruadhliocht
A true eccentric artist, born in the heart of Dublin. I have traveled from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, absorbing languages and cultures in my journey. I love to roam the many historical streets, visiting new exhibitions, or relaxing in the many beautiful parks of this gorgeous city. My interest is in Secret History. So let us go to the largest urban park in Europe to see wild Deer, the largest private collection of Oriental art, and the first public library in Ireland, the famous Dublin cathedrals and rich Georgian architecture.
