    IRELAND END TO END FROM MIZEN TO MALIN (MIZMAL)

    The Ireland End to End (MizMal) with Wild Atlantic Cycling is an end to end cycle tour of Ireland. Think of it as the Irish equivalent of Britain’s Land’s End to John O’Groats, but with rugged coastline, Irish music, unique landscapes and lively pubs. Mizen to Malin to really is something special.

    Our End to End route takes in much of Ireland’s famous Wild Atlantic Way and is geared towards intermediate and experienced road cyclists. Mizen to Malin was featured in the Guardian Bike Blog in July 2017.

    ROUTE SUMMARY

    We provide two options: a 8 Day (AVID) Tour and a 13 Day (ACTIVE) Tour. The 8 Day Tour is approximately 894 km averaging 128 km per day and the 13 Day Tour is 1,040 km averaging 87 km per day. Find out if you are Avid or Active here.

    We transport you to West Cork from Cork Airport. Flying to Cork Airport is the most convenient point of entry. We can also arrange transfers from Dublin Airport. We spend a night in Cork and travel to Mizen Head the next morning. The route takes you along the Mizen Peninsula to Bantry Bay and through the Cork and Kerry mountains. Then the Killarney via the Black Valley and the spectacular Gap of Dunloe. Via Tralee and across the Shannon Estuary on the ferry. We pass the Cliffs of Moher and cycle through the unique limestone plateau of the Burren. On into County Galway, where we ride through the vast open bogs, loughs and mountains of the Connemara National Park with a visit to Clifden on the 12 day tour. Here we enjoy some stunning scenery including the Killary Harbour - one of three glacial fjords in Ireland. We spend a night in Galway City with its  fun vibe and enticing old pubs and Irish traditional music. We continue to the pretty town of Donegal. Then we tackle the Inishowen Peninsula with its remote moorlands and vast sea loughs, and on to Malin Head for the finish - the most northerly point of Ireland. From Malin Head, we provide a convenient transfer back Belfast (International Airport or Premier Inn).

    TRANSFERS AND LOGISTICS

    GETTING TO THE START

    The first date on any advertised tour is arrival day. Our meeting point at the start is a venue close to Cork Airport. If required, we provide transfers to Cork Airport for you and your luggage from Dublin Airport. The transfer cost is £50 per person from Dublin. We travel from Cork to Mizen Head the next morning and begin cycling.

    DEPARTING AT THE END

    On the last day we cycle to Malin Head where the tour finishes at a venue close to Malin Head. From there we provide transport to the Belfast International Airport and the city of Belfast. Due to the uncertainty of finish times, we discourage you from booking onward flights on the finish evening. Instead you may wish to book into the Maldron Hotel at the Belfast International Airport, or the Premier Inn at the Titanic Quarter, Belfast and continue the next day. Your bike box / bag will be taken to your set-down point where you can then repack your bike at your leisure.

    BOOKING FLIGHTS

    We have never cancelled a tour due to lack of numbers. However, please refrain from booking flights until we let you know that your tour has reached the minimum number to run. Tours usually run with a minimum of 16 people and a maximum of 24.
