We have 3 types of cycling holidays.
  1. Hire a car and collect a bicycle at different places on your trip to do loop cycle trips.
  2. Guided cycling trips where you are transported to meet your guide and bicycle who accompany you during the full trip. We  can organise transport back to the airport in private or public transport.
  3. Self guided cycling as the only method of transport on a one way trip. We pick you up at the start of the trip, take you to the bicycle centre and you cycle on a self guided tour. We will book accommodation and activities added along the route for you. You can carry the luggage or we can organise local transport each day. At the end of the one way trip we transport the bicycle back to where it was rented from. There will be a booking deposit credit card on the bicycle, which will not be cashed except in case of damage or loss of the bicycle and equipment.
We can arrange for local cycling guides to meet you along the way at an extra charge if you wish. Remember to bring the correct footwear, clothing and rainwear for your trip.
Cork is the base for Activity Days and we have developed along the Wild Atlantic Way, Dublin and Belfast in the past few years. But just ask we probably know the local expert in the area you want to visit.

We ask you to sign a form stating you are fit enough for each activity. If you do have an accident before getting to Ireland then please let us know so we can change the activities to suit your needs. While you are in Ireland we are available to answer any questions you may have or advise on any difficulty you may encounter.

We also know where to get the best picnic food in each area, and can pre-order for you. We want you to have the best possible time in Ireland. Take a look at the Blog on the Food on the Wild Atlantic Way as an example of the great choice on offer in Ireland. There are so many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.   Driver Guide/ Chauffeur The Driver guide is an Ireland expert and can drive you to the activities, places of interest and other attractions in Ireland. They are at your disposal. However there is a regulation on how much a person can drive in a day, break requirements and they do not work late nights as they need rest. They expect to work an 8 hour day. Any time spent transporting your party around after that is to be negotiated directly with the Driver Guide. They are your transport provider, but they are not expected to collect from restaurants, night clubs or theatre’s after their working day is complete.   Min-Bus or Bus Hire The transport is hired for your group for a specific time and place and for a maximum number of people. If the number of people in the party increases or decreases please advise Activity Days at once. The cost of transport is divided evenly between those travelling and if numbers in the group fall from that originally booked the overall price may have to increase to reflect this. We work with professional companies with quality transport. The earlier you book, the better change you have of getting the best bus available. Drivers have to have specific rest periods and this is built into the trips. If a driver is delayed due to clients later return there may be an extra charge levied by the transport provider.
