Both the Muckross Lake Loop and the Gap of Dunloe routes start from Killarney town. Killarney is easily accessible by train and bus. See the Travel section of the website for bus travel and for rail travel. Please see particularly the information in relation to carriage of bikes on public transport.

 

There are also multiple options for bike hire in Killarney, see Bike Hire page here. Tralee is a short hop on the train rom Killarney where the Tralee to Fenit greenway can be cycled. 

​

For those who are very fit and experienced cyclists there is a Ring of Kerry charity event for charity held once each year. It is usually held in early July. Watch out for the event on the website. This is a whopping 170Km cycle. Although it largely hugs the coast there are some hills. The route starts and finishes in Killarney town. If you decide to do this on another day, be careful, as there are lots of tour buses on the route in summertime and the roads can be very narrow. 

​

No trip to Kerry is complete without visiting Dingle and take in a tour of Slea Head. This is best done by car or coach tour as the roads are very narrow and unfortunately not suitable for safe cycling. Another highlight is a boat tour around the Blasket islands.
