Explore the world famous Dingle town and Slea Head with an amazing self guided cycling tour of the spectacular peninsula.

Our first stop off is at Inch beach, famous for being the place where an inch is actually three miles long. Heading due west to the edge of Europe, we arrive in Dingle town where you will hop on your bicycle to experience the impressive Slea Head peninsula. Feast your eyes on breath-taking scenery of wild rugged coastline, golden beaches and the magnificent Blasket Islands.

Take the opportunity to have some down time in Dingle town, a picturesque fishing town that is famed for Fungi the dolphin who has been a local for almost 30 years, before making our return journey to Killarney.
