About
Wild Atlantic Sports is a bike tour and rental business based in Kinsale, Co. Cork. We offer high quality bike rental and guided cycling tours in the amazing Kinsale area. The area is great for exploring by bike with some spectacular coastal scenery along the Wild Atlantic Way. If you're comfortable cycling and happy to find your way around why not RENT? If you'd prefer to be guided around the sights, following one of our carefully planned routes, pick from one of the three tours below. RENTAL: High quality mountain bikes with front fork and disc brakes, helmet, high vis vest, lock and repair kit all included. We deliver to your local accommodation or if you're not staying in town, can meet you in a central location. TOURS: The Wild Coast Tour is our most popular tour. This tour is suitable for beginner/intermediate cyclists and the route has been carefully selected to show you the best of the area, without too many uphills! There is stunning scenery along this cycle - pedal your way past surf beaches, towers and some spectacular Irish countryside. There is a stop mid-way for coffee/tea in a local cafe. This tour starts from the Old Head Signal Tower which is 15-20mins drive outside Kinsale. The Kinsale Town tour is an intermediate level tour (some hills!) that explores the coast through the town from Charles Fort to Sandycove. Loads to see along the way from the Kinsale marina, James Fort, Dock beach or spot wild goats on Sandycove Island. Finally, the Courtmacsherry Bay tour is our longest and flattest tour. We cycle along past sandy Coolmaine Strand, then follow a road which continues the entire length of Courtmacsherry Bay. We pass Timoleague Abbey and stop for tea in a charming cafe in Courtmacsherry. Whatever tour you pick, we know you'll love it! All tours are suitable for people with a moderate level of fitness. It's very much your day at your pace! If you're a keen cyclist and looking for something a bit more challenging, contact us, we can help.

Professional, timely, personalized care. I did my research on completing a 3 day bike trip with my family. After communicating with many companies and comparing prices, Wild Atlantic Sports was head and shoulders above others. We received excellently cared for bikes, with stellar customer service. Would recommend to anyone and will certainly use again.

Greatly enjoyed our e-bike ride from Kinsale to Old Head and back, one of the routes suggested by Ruth. She had graciously adjusted our reservation dates as necessitated by the unpredictable Irish weather. We were given full introduction to the equipment, which included rainproof saddle bag to hold cable lock used when stopping and stepping away from bikes. Irish roads can be narrow but by staying on the left and wearing high-visibility vests, we felt plenty safe. E-bike assistance allowed us to tackle otherwise formidable uphill climbs. Hope we can repeat the experience next time we return to Kinsale!

Overall a great experience. Ruth was amazing - very helpful and extremely responsive - and she went out of her way to assist us. We rented bikes and cycled up the west coast eventually ending up in Galway, where she fetched the bikes. Prices were reasonable and the bikes were in good condition - we had just the one minor technical issue the whole time we were away. I highly recommend her company !

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Two friends and I did a 5-day tour in southwest Cork, looping the Beara Peninsula. The bikes were great, route advice was solid, and opting for the waterproof panniers was 100 percent worth it. Everything stayed dry! It was the perfect to experience what is perhaps the most beautiful place I have ever been. Highly recommend Wild Atlantic Sports if you're looking to see County Cork by bicycle. Must be willing to climb some serious hills.

We did a lovely tour of the Old Head of Kinsale area with Ruth from Wild Atlantic Way Sports. We met her at the peak, and the high quality Bosch batteries e-bikes, helmets, gear etc were all ready to go! Ruth also was so helpful in accommodating adding mirrors to my bike and ensuring our safety as we rode. The scenery was spectacular! Riding through the Irish countryside is a must do! Contact her and she will ensure you have a great experience! Coming back again to do another sometime!!!!

We hired bikes for a week to cycle along the wild Atlantic way . We cycled about 400 miles in total with panniers and bikes were fine for this and really good gears to get us up the hills . The booking process was excellent and Laura was really quick to respond and very flexible . It’s such a beautiful coastline and great for cycling . There are not many places that hire the type of bikes you need for a touring holiday and these were good

First time on the Electric bike but I had no need to be nervous the bike was amazing, very well maintained and got great advice on use of the bike and scenic routes from Mark, who was very helpful in his friendly way. Took the bike for 48 hours and found it a very pleasant way to get around and you'll be surprised at how much ground you can cover.
Highly recommend if you're around Kinsale for a few days... taking the bikes for 48 hours is value for money and a great way of seeing the sights.

Even as regular visitors to West Cork, we learned a lot and got to see even more of the beautiful countryside and coastal landscape. Ruth was our guide and an absolute pleasure. She worked with us, assessed our abilities and needs and created a tour to fit. The bikes look like they are brand new and nothing was too much trouble. No matter what your level of fitness or bike proficiency, you will get something from this tour - even if it's just the craic in a local pub!

Highly recommed Ruth and her business Wild Atlantic Sports. We had booked for the Coast tour. Ruth contacted me to say she was extremely busy and the day we wanted to have the tour wasn't possible as she had to drop.bikes of elsewhere for a large group, she offered us a couple of other options one being a full days rental for same price which we took.
Met Ruth on time on Monday morning gave us a lot of tips, advice and information. We had great weather and my wife and I set off to the "Old Head" route. Stopped many times at Sandy cove and many other spots to take many pictures. In total we did approximately 50kms, (electricbikes) we had a great trip to the old head and then back then to Charles Fort, James Fort. Stopped at a couple of bars and enjoyed a couple of well earned pints. We left the.bikes locked up at agreed location for Ruth to pick up, which she did. Would recommend and would.do again

Hired 4 electric bikes to tour the wild Atlantic way. We we from Kinsale to Courtmacsharry via the old head (round trip of around 70k). Bikes were new, easy to use and comfortable. Having done this hilly trip before on push bikes I’d recommend the electric all day. There are so many beautiful and scenic places to explore this makes for a superb day trip and the company were genuinely easy and professional to deal with. Would definitely do again!
