Highlights
of your Self Led Cycling Tour In Ireland:
Our independent self led cycling tours
are ideal for people who would prefer not to join a
group guided tour.
As with our group tours you can leave your cares behind
while we take all the hassles out of your holiday.
We organise your accommodation and bicycle. As there
is no guide on the tour, we arrange for your luggage
to be transferred each day, and you are given a full
set of route details and maps at the start of the
week. We also give you a description of the best places
to stop, visit, and dine in along the way.
Each vacation is one week long - however, we can adapt
routes to suit your particular needs. The tour can include
any number of people, start on any day of the week,
and go at any time of the year. The only exception is
that the tour cannot start the same day as a group tour
in the same area. For your convenience each tour starts
close to an international airport.

8 days - 7 nights Cycling Vacation in Ireland
Our first cycling tour and still one of our favourite routes.
We start and finish the tour in the bustle of Killarney.
From Monday to Wednesday, we circumnavigate the beautiful
Beara and Mizen Peninsulas before heading inland on Thursday
to peaceful Gougane Barra, site of St Finbar's hermitage
retreat.
Connemara, Galway and Mayo Tour:Click here
to View
8 days - 7 nights Cycling Vacation in Ireland
Connemara is perfect cycling country, where roads go around
the hills rather than over them. The scenery changes from
dramatic mountain ranges and fjords to sweeping open bogland
and a rocky fractal coastline.
West Cork Coastline Tour:Click here
to View
8 days - 7 nights Cycling Vacation in Ireland
The road winds along the River Lee and the West Cork Coast,
where the smell of the sea battles with the scent from
bracken and wild flowers. This cycling tour starts in
Cork City and finishes up in Kinsale.
Clare and the Burren Tour:Cick here to View
8 days - 7 nights Cycling Vacation in Ireland
The Burren has a maze of backroads with little traffic,
and fields of exotic flowers and cracked limestone. The
county's greatest pride is in its traditional music, which
means that most villages will have a range of sessions each
night as you explore the hidden Ireland.
Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula
Tour:Click

8 days - 7 nights Cycling Vacation in Ireland
The ring of Kerry is famous throughout Ireland and indeed
the world for its spectacular scenery. While the main roads
can be busy, we avoid the traffic by taking some hillier
options that criss-cross these two dramatic peninsulas.
