Ireland Motorcycle Tour: Guided Round Trip

Your Ireland motorcycle tour begins with individual arrival at the starting hotel near Duisburg/Düsseldorf. Check-in is until 6 pm. After the welcome briefing and tour presentation, the group has dinner together and meets fellow riders.

This Guided Ireland motorcycle tour officially kicks off with the ride to the ferry port. After breakfast, small groups set out for the crossing from Ijmuiden to Newcastle. On board you settle into your cabin and enjoy dinner together; the ferry departs at 5:30 pm. Approx. 300 km.

You ride right across the island to the west coast ferry port at Cairnryan, approx. 280 km. The night ferry, departing at 5 pm, then takes the group across to Larne and onto Irish soil for the first time.

From Larne the Ireland coastal-road motorcycle tour heads toward Letterkenny, around 300 km through Northern Ireland. Narrow country lanes with plenty of bends set the tone for this first stage on Irish ground, past gentle hills and small villages.

The stage from Letterkenny to the Ballina area covers roughly 320 km and passes through wide moorlands and lonely coastal stretches in the wild northwest of Ireland, where the landscape constantly reinvents itself mile by mile.

On this onroad Ireland motorcycle round trip you ride around 300 km from Ballina into the Galway area, past dramatic sea cliffs and small fishing harbours that give the northwest its original character.

This guided Ireland motorcycle tour covers roughly 290 km from Galway to the Dingle area. Coastal roads and small mountain passes alternate with views over picture-perfect bays strung along the route like pearls.

A rest day or optional day tour in the Dingle area rounds off the first half of your Ireland motorcycle round trip. Explore the Dingle Peninsula at your own pace or simply take a well-earned break.

From Dingle it is around 270 km to the Killarney area, passing the famous Ring of Kerry with its rugged cliffs and small fishing villages along the Atlantic – one of the most rewarding stages of the entire route.

On the Killarney to Cork stage you cover roughly 300 km of well-paved, occasionally narrow country lanes crossing the south coast of Ireland, past green hillsides and small market towns.

The stage from Cork to the Dublin area covers about 300 km. You continue to grow comfortable with left-hand traffic on well-built country roads heading east, while the landscape gradually softens into gentle rolling hills.

A free day in Dublin invites you to explore the Irish capital at your leisure – a relaxed finish before the homeward journey of this Ireland motorcycle tour, with time for pubs, culture and history in Ireland's lively capital city.

This ferry day on the Ireland motorcycle tour takes you from Dublin to Holyhead and on to Hull, where the night ferry to Rotterdam departs. In total around 350 km and three countries feature on this long transfer day.

From Rotterdam the final shared stage covers around 270 km back to the Düsseldorf area, along Dutch country roads and the last kilometres of this round trip, before the group gathers for a final evening together.

The Ireland motorcycle tour ends with individual journeys home from the starting hotel near Duisburg/Düsseldorf – carrying many memories of the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and the Emerald Isle.
