        Discover hidden gems, charming villages, and iconic panoramas by day, while indulging in the exquisite comfort and welcoming atmosphere of deluxe guesthouses and boutique hotels by night. Experience the perfect blend of epic adventure and lavish accommodations, ensuring your journey is as luxurious as it is unforgettable.

        Exploring Quaint Kenmare

        Meeting in Limerick, head south into the magical landscapes of Kerry for our first peninsula, the Beara Peninsula. We’ll explore rolling emerald hills, snug villages, ruined monasteries and even thatched cottages. Starting in lively Kenmare village, we’ll pedal off along country lanes for lovely bay views. After a day of exploring, spend your first evening in Ireland unwinding at a luxurious hotel, complete with all the amenities you could desire and surrounded by stunning scenery. Relax with a glass of aged Irish whiskey as you watch the sunset over the bay and toast to your Irish adventure.

        Coast to Coast on the Beara Peninsula

        The quietest and least-known peninsula in Kerry, the dramatic Beara Peninsula is cycling heaven. We’ll weave across the headland from coast to coast, with time to take in the Healy Pass, a classic Irish cycling route. The undulating views along this under-rated peninsula combined with its plethora of ancient history and fascinating local mythology, make Kerry’s Beara Peninsula one of Ireland’s best-kept secrets and an absolute E-biking gem.

        Tackling our second peninsula today, the Iveragh Peninsula is home to the world-famous Ring of Kerry. Cycling along stretches of the renowned route, we’ll pass the soaring McGillicuddy’s Reeks Mountains, winding past Ireland’s highest mountain following an ancient route named for Oisin, a mythological Irish hero, before arriving in Killarney National Park. Your retreat for this evening is a plush country house hotel steeped in history. Originally dating back to the 1800s, this hidden gem offers a deluxe experience throughout with warm hospitality, delicious dining options and a comfortable place to rest after a day spent discovering the jaw-dropping beauty of Kerry.

        Today we’re in for a treat with several iconic cycling routes on our itinerary. Cycling through Molls Gap offers panoramic views over the mountains we conquered yesterday before we cross the Gap of Dunloe, home to the iconic Wishing Bridge. Pedal through the lush verdant canopy of Killarney woodlands, E-bike the shores of the spectacular lakes, gaze up the romantic ruins of crumbling castles, hear the clip-clop of quaint horse-drawn carriages, and perhaps even spot the local red deer.

        The Dingle Peninsula is the final headland in the trip of peninsulas on this exhilarating E-bike tour. After mastering the classic climbs along the Ring of Kerry, we’ll say goodbye to Iveragh’s peaks and enjoy Dingle’s gentler coastal roads. Breathe in the salty Atlantic Ocean air with every pedal stroke as you gaze out upon white sand beaches and the craggy Kerry coastline. Ireland is world-renowned for its whiskey, so after our bike ride today, we’re in for a treat – a whiskey tasting led by a connoisseur. In the evening, enjoy some of Dingle’s live music – a bastion of traditional Irish music.

        Day 6

        Slea Head, Ireland's Westerly Point

        Slea Head is about as far west as we can go – the next stop west is North America. Looping around this amazing headland, drink in the fantastic views of the remote Blasket Islands, evacuated in the 1950s, before exploring ancient monastic beehive huts, stone oratories and hidden coves of Slea Head – perhaps with time to taste some local whiskey. In the evening, we’ll celebrate the end of our trip with a splendid feast.

        Grading Read More
        Green Graded 1-3

        Our green-graded trips would usually include shorter days, with fewer ascents and more stops along the way.
        The green-graded trips have been designed to be accessible so that they appeal both to active people who enjoy cycling but prefer flatter terrain and to people new to cycle touring but want a new way to experience the country.

        On most days, the itinerary is a relaxed combination of saddle time, scenic lunch stops and time to explore the natural and cultural history.

        As with all of our road cycling trips, we have a guide riding with you on the road but also have a dedicated support vehicle, so if you need a break at any time, you can jump in the minivan and give your legs a rest.

        Distances typically range from 25-40 miles each day, with possibly one or two slightly longer days between key stages of the itinerary. The terrain is generally flat, with one or two short climbs.

        The Bottom Line

        This was my second guided bike trip with Wilderness Ireland, and it was just as fantastic as the first. Our guides, Duncan and Katie were so helpful and took care of our every need. I appreciated their depth of knowledge regarding the local geography, flora and fauna, and cultural tidbits. Our accommodations were lovely, but it was the scenic beauty of the ride that took my breath away. I am so glad thatI have seen Ireland with Wilderness Ireland, and look forward to another trip in the future! Thank you so much.
