Great bikes and very reasonable priced. The loop they recommend was easy to follow and had beautiful views of the mountains, lake and waterfall

Great experience

The bikes were in great shape, especially for rental bikes. The people working were very helpful and we were on our way quickly with great guidance. The views along the way were fantastic and it was an easy trail. It was a great experience!

Very good experience!

The team is very welcoming and dynamic, and the location is perfect for spending the day in the Park. Simple and clear explanations about the paths to take and prices that are more than reasonable! We will rent again with Killarney Bike Rental without hesitation.

Helpful staff , super bike ride in great scenario a real highlight of Kilarney

Great bike hire company excellent electric bikes and cycled around muckross beautiful location and perfect length of cycle hire - don’t forget to add a little bit on to go down to Ross castle - still on cycle tracks - no road use at all. The tracks are all super smooth and easy and a stop at Dinas cottage well worth it and Torc waterfall, don’t forget to look round the gardens - lovely in May with all the flowers out. Think it was Andy who served us - very helpful bearded chap!

We really loved the...

We really loved the morning we spent biking around Killarney. We had everything we needed: bikes, helmets, a lock, and a map. It was so great to just explore independently, with plenty of time to see everything.
