GUIDED CYCLING IN IRELAND

On our group cycling holidays we bring together groups of people from all over the world. Our daily cycle is a leisurely 30 - 40 miles which we find gives plenty of time to stop and explore your surroundings. Longer options are available for those who want to stretch their legs. Our Antrim, Donegal and Kerry safaris are hillier than the other routes but happily there are no large mountain ranges to cross in any part of Ireland. We take up to 20 people on each tour and many come on their own. A great group spirit develops as people swap stories over dinner at the end of the day. Although the guide will not be cycling with you, he or she will be driving the support van and shall make a sweep to ensure that all is well and offer lifts to those who want a break. This provides a sense of freedom in that you can travel at your own pace in the security that our guide is there for you in the event that you might need them. All our group bike tours start on a Saturday, simply click on any of the area's to the right that you are interested in travelling to and discover our tours in the area along with the group departure dates.


West Cork and Kerry Ref ICSCK
The dramatic, unspoilt beauty of the Beara Peninsula is undoubtedly the hidden gem of the South West. We have now changed the focus of our safaris here to reflect this.

Connemara, Mayo and Galway Ref ICSCM
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.

The Highlands of Donegal Ref ICSDL
Donegal is a place apart from the rest of the Republic, in many ways closer to Scotland than to Dublin. It has some of our most dramatic scenery, a particular music tradition, a distinctive accent and a friendly welcome.

West Cork Coastline Ref ICSWC
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 tour starts in Cork City and finishes up in Kinsale.

Clare and The Burren Ref ICSCB
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.

The Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula Ref ICSKD
The ring of Kerry is famous throughout 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.

The Wild West Mayo Ref ICSWM
Mayo has some of Ireland's least known and most beautiful scenery. We set out from Westport and circle around Lough Conn for the first two days before heading North to the Atlantic and the wide-open plains of West Mayo. Our rest day is on Achill Island.

The Glens of Antrim Ref ICSGA
We circle around the spectacular roads and villages of the Glens of Antrim combining the drama of the coastal road with the beauty of the Glens. We have the chance to visit the Giant's Causeway as well as the village of Bushmills to sample its liquid delights! The route incorporates several sections of cycle path developed by Sustrans as part of the
Millenium National cycle route project.
