Cycling through the Algarve is one of the most rewarding ways to explore southern Portugal. With its mild year-round climate, coastal beauty, and quiet inland roads, this region offers an ideal setting for both casual riders and experienced cyclists. Our Algarve cycling tours are designed to help you experience the best of it all — from dramatic clifftop paths to hidden countryside routes and historic villages. Whether you’re seeking a relaxed day ride or a more demanding challenge, there’s a perfect tour waiting for you.

We work with leading local partners like Algarve Cycling to bring you a carefully curated selection of routes that are safe, scenic, and suitable for all fitness levels. Most tours are available in guided or self-guided formats, and many include extras like GPS navigation, support vans, luggage transfers, and pre-ride bike setup. Starting points span popular hubs like Albufeira, Vilamoura, Tavira, Lagos, and more — giving you easy access to coastlines, nature parks, and mountain terrain.

Along the way, you’ll discover traditional Portuguese cafés, whitewashed villages, panoramic viewpoints, and perhaps even stop for a local wine tasting or a swim. Routes are chosen not just for their beauty, but for a sense of flow and discovery — the kind of cycling that makes you want to keep pedalling just a little further.

From half-day coastal rides to multi-day cross-Algarve adventures, these tours combine fitness with freedom, offering an authentic, slow-travel experience through the Algarve’s diverse landscape. Bikes can be included or brought on your own, and custom group tours are available upon request.
