About this activity

A great tour if you are visiting Kinsale for the first time! This is the way to see the absolute best of Kinsale town and all the sights around Kinsale harbour. Using e-bikes, your guide will cycle with you around the coast, visiting mighty forts and beautiful beaches. From high level roads, we'll stop to enjoy views of Charles Fort, James Fort and we'll cycle through colourful, picturesque Kinsale. We'll visit Sandycove, where you can try to spot some of the wild goat population who live on Sandycove island. The pace is relaxed and the views are spectacular!

Please note that this cycle is best suited to confident cyclists who are comfortable with steep up and downhills and are happy to cycle in traffic.

Any remaining time not accounted for in the attractions list is spent cycling and exploring the Kinsale area by electric bike. This bike tour is a great way to see beyond Kinsale town.
