Your instructors are hugely experienced photographers and have led photography trips across the globe. They have plenty of wisdom to impart whether you’re a new or advanced photographer. They are also very adept at planning around the weather to ensure you have the best possible chance of being in the right place at the right time. Dartmoor has a very diverse landscape, so you’ll be able to practice your skills on its tors, sweeping river valleys, streams and waterfalls, abandoned buildings and of course its free-roaming ponies, plus there is always the chance of a deer or two. All this under incredible and ever-changing skies.

Specific skills you can work on include long exposure photography, sunrise and sunset techniques, camera handling and composition. There will also be the opportunity to try out various filters and also discuss any questions you might have about post-processing.

Of course. You can leave anything you’re not using at the hostel.

The itinerary is based on an average day in Dartmoor, with favourable conditions dictating the best-laid plans. However, your guides are very experienced in finding locations to shoot depending on a range of conditions, i.e. if there is a lot of rain one day you'll spend more time shooting in a forest. Whatever the weather you'll be sure to have plenty of opportinities to take photos and improve your skills.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.

Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).

For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.

We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. You must be over 18 to join one of our trips.

You're always in good company on one of our adventures.

Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.

Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way. Check out our Community Values – a shared code to make sure that everyone's experience is safe, inclusive and brilliantly unforgettable.

It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.
