We’re fiercely passionate about the joys of bicycling in Ireland, which explains why we offer so many tempting Ireland bike tour choices. Many years ago we began with just one fifteen-day bike adventure in Ireland, the “Best of the West.” Now a venerable classic, it still offers an incomparable view of Ireland’s rural west, from County Tipperary’s hidden delights, to the gorgeous coastal Counties Kerry, Clare and Galway. If you haven’t as much time, then try one of our week-long Irish cycling holidays. “The Magical South” shortens the road a bit, revealing Tipp’s pastoral country lanes and the ocean-side splendor of Kerry and Clare. Alternatively, “From Clare to Connemara” highlights the heartland of traditional Irish music, and the wild, mountainous scenery of Galway and Mayo that has inspired poets and painters for centuries. For the truly adventurous, why not bicycle “Ireland from Coast to Coast?” We’ve carefully crafted the ideal itinerary from Dublin to Dingle and yes, it’s a Planet Earth exclusive. You’ll experience a mind-boggling array of contrasts on this exciting, eclectic adventure.
