Cycling Tours of Ireland - Clare and Burren Safari
Highlights of your Cycling Tour In Ireland:
 
- The wonderful town of Ennis - steeped in Irish culture and traditional music
- The internationally renowned unique karst limestone habitat of The Burren
- The world renowned Cliffs of Moher
- Excellent coastal cycling overlooking the splendor of Turlough Lake
- Clare's history of traditional Irish music.
Clare is the music centre of Ireland and on this tour you are sure to have your feet tapping to traditional tunes nearly every night of the week. The Burren region is also an amazing limestone moonscape, famous around the world for its wonderful variety of botany. The area is rich in ancient and early Christian historical sites and offers some beautiful coastal cycling overlooking Galway Bay. Finally Clare is home to the Cliffs of Moher among the highest marine based cliffs in Europe and one of the best known images of Ireland.
Your Cycling Tour Itinerary:
Day 1. Arrival in Ennis - The meeting point for the tour is in the town of Ennis, close to Shannon airport.
Day 2. Along the Atlantic Coast - We start by heading west to the Atlantic Coast, and our hotel overlooking Spanish Point beach where the breakers roll in.
Day 3. The Cliffs of Moher - In the morning, we take a wandering backroad to the village of Lahinch. After lunch, we head for the Cliffs of Moher before descending in the evening to the nearby village of Doolin where the three pubs compete with each other for the best music.
Day 4. Coastal Route to Ballyvaughan - We again have a detour loop in the morning, before taking to the stunning coast road in the afternoon to the seaside village of Ballyvaughan for two nights.
Day 5. Ballyvaughan Village - The village is in the heart of the Burren region, so there is a great variety of walking trips from our hotel.
Day 6. The Burren - The road winds along the limestone escarpments of the Burren to Kinvara, another small west coast village hugging the jagged coastline.

Day 7. Return to Ennis - On the last day, we circle the turlough lake at Mulloughmore before returning to Ennis for a final night of Jigs and Reels.
Day 8. Departure Day - After breakfast you make your way home with a head full of memories.

Distances: The average cycling distance is an easy 30m (45km) with longer routes being available each day. The safaris are suitable for adults of all ages, but a certain level of fitness is required and taking in a few practice rides is strongly recommended. The tours are not suited for children under 13 years of age. The Ring of Kerry, the Highlands of Donegal and the Antrim tours have more hills than the other routes and are more suited to the keener cyclist.
Meals: Your guide will recommend a lunch stop each day where a snack lunch will cost between €7 and €10.
A group evening meal is organised by the guide each night which costs between €18 and €25
One evening meal during the tour is included in the tour price.
Your Bicycle: We supply 18-21 speed hybrid touring models for your tour. Each booking must give your name and approximate height. Repair equipment, helmets and pannier bags are available on request.
Starting Times: Each of the tours start with a meeting group at 6:30pm on the Saturday evening in a central hotel close to the local train station and bus station. This is only a meeting point, typically the group will be staying in nearby guesthouses. The guide is able to return to the meeting place at 9:30pm again that evening and the following morning for those arriving late. After an introductory talk the guide will organise an evening meal and direct you to your first nights accommodation.

Insurance: There is an additional charge of €35 for insurance cover. We insist that riders avail of our insurance policy or else have alternative cover in place.
