ᨒ  Riding Ireland

We have handcrafted a tour that allows clients to enjoy the most iconic landscape which is Ireland. This is a trip of a cycling lifetime and full of highlights. It is, however, not only on the bike that inspires. The WAW is rich in culture. So, if you are a keen rider or indeed wish to enjoy the fresh air of the Galway region join us for a trip that will give you a lifetime of memories.

Whether you are looking for a cultural odyssey, a physical challenge, or to meet interesting travel companions, our tour is sure to be a life-affirming and personally enriching adventure. Supported by a qualified and experienced guide, you will have the ability to completely immerse yourself over 7 days in the wonders of Ireland.

  • Our guides are ultra-experienced riders and can support you when needed.
  • Knowing how to deal with emergencies, maintaining your bike, your health, your mindset and any niggling physical injuries.
  • Knowing the best routes, including the best paths to take, which ones to avoid, and reaching hidden spots only a local would know.
  • Knowing local regions and sharing cultural connections will give you authenticity and added value.
  • Knowing that accommodation and most meals are already taken care of will give you more time to explore.

ఠ_ఠ   Is it for you?

  • Fitness: Riding the WAW is a moderate and extremely rewarding adventure. To complete the journey, you will need good mobility, endurance, fitness and little-to-no injuries or chronic pain. There are some long rides balanced out with the easy.
  • Memorable: With unique sites, ocean breezes and rolling hills, comes unforgettable scenery and amazing experiences. If you like historic buildings, old pubs and country roads and villages where perhaps distant ancestors once road themselves, you will thrive.
  • All interested travellers will be invited to partake in a small video call with our guide to finalise suitability for this trip. Onboarding with 'Know before you go' and 'What to bring' details will be provided to ensure you are ready and right to go :)

Why we love it!

  • The greatest: It is considered one of the nicest rides in the world.
  • Beauty: We pass through some of the most beautiful farmlands, rocky ocean aspects and varied landscapes in Ireland.
  • Community: It is a popular experience, and many people find that riding this in the company of other cyclists creates a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose (fun is the aim).
  • Physical & mental: There are some long and demanding rides, but many people find that the physical challenges of the journey are well worth the rewards. The journey also allows for a lot of introspection, reflection and self-discovery.
  • Spiritual: Many people find that the journey has a spiritual significance for them, especially those that climb Crough Patrick ('the REEK') reaching this destination is a deeply moving and meaningful experience.
