Capture the unspoiled Beara Peninsula, steeped in myths, legends, and rich archaeological history.

Guides were FANTASTIC. The trip itself was spectacular, one day better than the next. Irish Songs sung by our guide, talk on the history of the Republic and Northern Ireland, the history of Kenmare; made you understand how proud the people are of there country. The rides, the views, were all amazing. Would highly recommend this trip, and these guides made it very special.

This was my 20th trip with Trek Travel and it was one of the best! The scenery was breathtaking, the riding superb, and the meals exquisite. The 26 mile loop we did through the Gap of Dunloe was the most scenic, engaging, and enjoyable ride I have done in many years. I would love to do it again!

There are so many highlights on this trip it would be hard to choose one. The green of Ireland just seems to be greener than any other place on earth. The people of Ireland welcome visitors like they are long lost friends. Cycling the Ring of Kerry area gives you some of the best scenery and views in Ireland-climbing the Gap of Dunloe week in and week out was one of my favorite parts of the trips. I was always ready to resist the urge to eat too many chocolate while visiting Lorge Chocolatier – Handmade Chocolate, and I usually failed at that. Overall, it's hard to describe the feeling of connectedness to the earth and to history while you are in Ireland, but it is a feeling I would suggest you never miss experiencing.
