Tour description

A four centre self-guided bike ride of the Dingle Peninsula and Coast in County Kerry, Ireland starting and finishing in Killarney. Tour price includes 5 nights bed and breakfast in en-suite guesthouse accommodation, 4 days of cycling, transfer of luggage each day, hire of a hybrid touring bike, and detailed notes and maps.  Telephone back-up and emergency support are also provided throughout the tour. PLEASE NOTE: The only meal included in the tour price is breakfast.
This Dingle Peninsula bike ride takes you through some outstanding scenery around the Ring of Dingle from Killarney. Within its small area, the Dingle Peninsula has more antiquities, historic sites and varied mountain scenery than any other part of Ireland. On this round trip, you will pass through Anascaul, Inch and on to Dingle, the most westerly town in Europe. It is an excellent centre with many famous restaurants and traditional pubs and yet it still retains much of the old-world atmosphere of a fishing village. On the route back, you bike the northern side of the peninsula, passing over the Conor Pass with magnificent views of Tralee Bay and the Maharees, and the many beautiful beaches which dot the coastline into Tralee. You finish back at Killarney. The guesthouses will provide you with information on nearby pubs and restaurants for your evening meals.

 

You are free to choose your own routes, between the accommodation, but you have the service of the luggage transfer van (a phone call away) if things go wrong. The average daily cycling distance is a comfortable 15 - 31 miles (24 – 50 km). The tour starts and finishes in the beautiful town of Killarney, where we kit you out with your bike.

Richard - 
 
After stopping off in Wisconsin for a few days, we have now returned back to our home in Montana and begun settling in. I've finished cropping and editing all the pictures I took and they look great! We will review and remember our wonderful trip many times throughout the winter months and beyond. Fletchers should also be back home, and we'll get together this coming week to swap our stories of Reeth and the Cotswolds. 
 
Doug and I just want to thank you again for organizing such a terrific trip! Your thoughtful attention to details in routing and lodging, and your personal care was so very much appreciated. 
 
If ever we get the chance to return, or hear of anyone else planning such a trip, you can be assured that we will be contacting you. 
 
I hope your fall season is enjoyable. 
Thank you again. 
Warm regards, 
Mindy and Doug Ferrell
