Explore the iconic Giant's Causeway during a guided day tour departing from Belfast. This comprehensive itinerary allows visitors to appreciate the breathtaking vistas and historical landmarks of the Antrim coastline. Upon arrival at the designated location, enjoy an informative narration as your guide shares fascinating insights into this natural wonder.



Embark on an unforgettable journey through Northern Ireland, immersing yourself in its rich history and natural wonders. Depart from Belfast in the morning and proceed to Carrickfergus Castle, a 12th-century Norman fortress perched atop the rugged coast. Wander through the grounds and capture the essence of this historical site.

Continuing along the Antrim Coast Road, traverse through the picturesque Glens of Antrim, each glen housing tales of mythical creatures such as fairies and leprechauns. As you navigate through Glenarm, marvel at Carnlough Harbour, the Waterfoot Caves, and the majestic Cushendun Curfew House. Advance towards Glencorp and Glendunn, passing the charming coastal town of Ballycastle en route to Portaneevy View Point for a breathtaking view of the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge.

Admire the stunning vistas from the rope bridge and gaze across to the Scottish Isle of Mull and Rathlin Island. Delve into the fascinating lore surrounding these landmarks, enhancing your appreciation of the region's folklore.

Next, make your way to the Dark Hedges, also known as the Kingsroad in the popular HBO series "Game of Thrones." Explore the ancient trees, which have inspired countless scenes, including Arya Stark swimming across them. Afterward, enjoy a traditional Irish meal at a local pub (not included).

Venture further into the realm of "Game of Thrones" with stops at other significant sites. Pass through Carnlough Harbour, where you might spot a scene reminiscent of Arya Stark's adventures. Marvel at Magharmorne Quarry, where the legendary castle of Castle Black once stood.

As the sun sets over the landscape, return to the Giant's Causeway, one of the most iconic geological formations in Northern Ireland. Take time to walk across the historic stones, learning about the legendary story of the giant Finn MacCool who constructed the causeway to impress his lover, Fionnuala.

Upon returning to Belfast, travel via the inland route to drop off at either the city center or the activity provider's office in Queen's Quarter. Your exploration concludes here, allowing you to relish the memories and experiences of your Northern Ireland adventure.
