Discover the Wonders of Northern Ireland on a Giants Causeway Day Tour

Leave the bustle of Belfast behind and set off for a day filled with breathtaking views and Irish history. This expertly guided luxury coach journey along the northern coast of Ireland showcases the region's must-see highlights, from ancient castles to world-famous filming locations.

Travel the Scenic Coastal Route

As your coach glides along the shoreline, enjoy ever-changing vistas of green hills, rugged cliffs and the sparkling ocean. Picturesque villages and pretty cottages dot the landscape, making every moment on the road a delight. Listen as your guide shares tales of local folklore, geology and drama that have shaped this unforgettable region.

Stand on Giant’s Causeway

Arriving at Northern Ireland’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giants Causeway, step out and take in thousands of geometric basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity. Some reach up to 12 metres high, creating natural stepping stones leading from the cliff foot and disappearing under the sea. Local legends add magic to the scene: according to myth, giant Finn McCool built this Causeway to cross the sea to Scotland. Whether you’re intrigued by the science or the folklore, you’ll never forget the view.

Uncover History at Castles

Step back in time at Carrickfergus Castle, dating from the 12th century and one of Ireland’s best-preserved medieval structures. Learn how this imposing fortress withstood Viking attacks and sieges. At Dunluce Castle, perched dramatically on a basalt outcrop above the Atlantic, your guide will recount stories of feuding noble clans and romantic ruin. With scenic photo stops at both castles, you’ll gain insight into Ireland’s rich and turbulent past.

Visit Unforgettable Filming Locations

This tour is a treat for Game of Thrones fans. Walk beneath the atmospheric canopy of ancient beech trees known as the Dark Hedges – instantly recognizable as the King’s Road. Explore Carnlough Harbour, which served as the city of Braavos, and see the striking Cashendun Caves, filmed as Storm’s End. Even if you’ve never seen the series, these sites capture the haunting beauty of the north Irish countryside.
