Twenty one years ago Irish Cycling Safaris pioneered cycling holidays in Ireland. Our philosophy continues to be to create easy going to moderate cycling trips along rural backroads bringing us into the heart of the great outdoors and local cultures. Over the years we have entertained thousands of cyclists, many of whom have returned to explore a different part of the country as we have added new Safaris. Despite the company’s growth to become one of the leading activity holiday providers in Ireland, we have maintained the same approach to our tours as that first excursion in 1989.

The cornerstone of Irish Cycling Safaris has been our commitment to provide quality tours at reasonable prices, whilst encouraging sustainable tourism. We were winners in 1995 of a Conservation Volunteers, Environmental Endeavor award, in 1996 of a National Tourism Enterprise award and in 2003 of an “An Taisce” ( Irelands National Trust ) award for our work in sustainable tourism. This ethical approach to business has been taken to its logical conclusion by the company’s founder, Eamon Ryan, who is now one of the first Green Ministers in an Irish Government. A long way since he founded Irish Cycling Safaris in 1989!

Our full time team is based in Ireland and made up of John & Marion Gaskin, Claire Concannon and Sonja Fuhrmann. Over the years, we have been joined by a team of guides from different parts of the country who come back each summer to lead our tours. Most importantly, we hope to set the right tone to help you in whatever way possible so that every day you are free to escape from everything except your own daydreams. You can rely on our experience to relax and unwind. Let us take all the hassles out of your holiday whilst leaving in all the adventure!
