This tour takes 4-6 hours.

For those looking for a full holiday of mountain biking, also on offer is the Galway Bay Explorer Tour - 6 days and 5 nights of excellent tracks and trails from the Burren right up to the Connemara and onto the Aran Islands. This tour also allows the cyclist a chance to experience local culture particularly with the traditional music sessions in Doolin and with Irish speaking locals on Inishmor.

All of the tours keep to small group sizes and are family friendly (most tours are suitable for children aged 12 and older with some experience). The company strive to give each cyclist the opportunity to stop and simply enjoy the scenery around them throughout the tour, and never rush anyone, each tour is run at a pace that suits everyone.

All of the tours are off road and off the beaten path, so why not get out there?
