This legendary route in County Kerry is part of the Wild Atlantic Way, and it offers a mix of challenging climbs, exhilarating descents, and smooth, scenic roads.

As you pedal through this untamed region, you’ll be surrounded by stunning natural beauty, from the awe-inspiring Gap of Dunloe, where steep climbs lead to a secluded valley framed by rugged peaks and crystal-clear lakes to the Kerry Cliffs, one of the most dramatic sections of the Skellig Ring.

You'll ride through the shimmering lakes of Killarney National Park and past pristine beaches like those in Ballinskelligs, rolling green hills dotted with sheep, and ancient sites like Ballycarbery Castle and the ring forts near Derrynane.

If you appreciate terrain variety, these smooth paved roads and quieter rural tracks will steal your heart.

Each day brings something new, whether it’s tackling a coastal climb with ocean views or cruising through tranquil valleys like the Black Valley.

With our round-the-clock support, you can focus on the joy of cycling while we handle the logistics, giving you the freedom to explore without worry. We'll take care of the details, from booking comfortable accommodations at each stop to providing a comprehensive digital guidebook with GPS routes and recommendations.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

The bike trip exceeded my expectations and was beyond fantastic. From Ljubljana to Bled with a guide through the Hidden Hills. Then my first solo self guided from the Alps in Bled to Piran in the Adriatic. I can’t say enough about the Slovenia Cycling Holidays crew who gave me guidance and confidence to take out on my own. Not to mention the extraordinary routes that they mapped out.
