About this experience

Drone Photography in Killeany is a guided aerial photography session on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, based in the village of Killeany. The activity provides a licensed drone pilot and a designated launch area near the island’s shoreline, offering views of the Atlantic and the nearby cliffs. Participants capture their own footage using their drone, with the pilot assisting on local airspace rules and safe flight paths.

What to expect

Session lasts 90 minutes, including a pre-flight briefing on Irish drone regulations and local no-fly zones.
A licensed pilot is present throughout, providing real-time guidance on framing shots of Killeany Bay and the Dún Aonghasa cliffs.
The launch site is a flat, grassy area 200 metres from the beach, with a clear line of sight to the island’s stone walls and the lighthouse at Straw Island.
Suitable for drone pilots with at least basic flying experience; beginners receive a hands-on tutorial on manual camera settings.
The session includes a memory card review at the end, where the pilot helps you select the best stills and video clips for editing.
Bring your own drone (under 250g or with a valid operator ID) and a fully charged battery; a spare battery is available for loan.
