Tour description

A four centre, 7 nights and 6 days biking self-guide bike ride of the Dingle Peninsula and Coast in County Kerry, Ireland. Starting and finishing in Killarney. Includes 7 nights bed and breakfast in en-suite guesthouse accommodation, transfer of luggage each day, hire of a hybrid touring bike and detailed notes and maps, as well as telephone back-up and emergency support throughout. 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, traditional pubs and yet it still retains much of the old-world atmosphere of a fishing village. On the route back, you cycle 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.

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

Richard,
 
Thank you so much for our bike trip through The Great Glen in Scotland!  It was even better than we expected.  
We knew it would be great but it turned out to be something me and my wife will never forget.  
I have recommended you to many of my friends and hopefully at least one of them will be planning at trip with you next summer.  
Thanks again!
