Experience Mull - Isle of Mull

Alison B.

We recently undertook a multi-day wildlife photography workshop with George and Lara from Experience Mull. Before the trip the communication was brilliant - really detailed and with plenty of advice on what we’d need to get the most of the experience. The arranged accommodation was lovely and situated in Dervaig - a lovely village south of Tobermory.

George and Lara were there to greet us when we arrived, being based nearby. Each day we did different types of wildlife photography, including Otters, Puffins, and White-tailed Eagles, and these included two boat trips. George gave lots of helpful advice on getting the right angles, camera settings, and composition, so that we ended up with excellent photos. Mull is beautiful and very peaceful. It was a wonderful holiday. Here are a few examples of the resulting images.

Me and a friend recently did a 5 day workshop with George and Lara (my second time with them), and it was absolutely fantastic - these guys are awesome guides, with extensive local knowledge. We went out at 4am two days running to photograph otters in amazing, mill-pond stillness, followed by the WTE boat (Mull Charters) and Lunga (Turus Mara) - epic days with total dedication. The following two days saw late starts (5.30am!!) because of slightly worse weather, but again, we had full on days spotting and photographing otters all over the island, in wonderfully atrocious conditions.

The advance info on what to bring and how/when to travel was superb, the accomodation excellent and the company was excellent.

Totally recommend this 5 day workshop - these guys are the tops and are truly professinal in everything they do.

June last year for my very first time I spent 6 days on the Isle of Mull with Lara Jackson and George Turner both wildlife professional photographers on one of their photography workshops.
Each day was a long but turned out to be a most exciting day. I was so impressed how Lara & George worked together particularly when it came to ensuring we managed excellent positions to photograph Otters. They were always on hand to provide tips on camera settings, photography as well.
This year I managed to book a last place on a trip in June, I was so pleased and very excited to enjoy another fabulous week with two wonderful people.
All though Lara could not be with us as she had recently given birth to their first child, George was our guide for the 6 days and what a brilliant guide he was. His knowledge and experience around the shoreline of a Loch was phenomenal finding Otters.
Their love and commitment for conservation and wildlife is so obvious when you spend time with them.
You will have to go a long way to spend time with two better human beings.

For the best Otter experts in the land, Experience Mull should be your first port of call. Second time headding to photograph otters with the amazing George and Lara - well organised trip. The opportunities to visit Lunga and the White Tail Eagles was fantastic, this year and last. With the knowledge George has of Mull, it's a reason alone to book with them. He got us into the best possition to get some awesome photos, come rain or shine he's there in the field always willing to share advice and skills around photography and wildlife behaviour.
I can't wait to visit mull again in 2026 with George and Lara.
