Full description

Discover the beauty of Northern Ireland and the world-famous Giant’s Causeway on a tour from Belfast. Visit the Giants Causeway, Carrickfergus Castle, Glenarm Castle, Carnlough Harbour, Waterfoot Caves, Cushendun Curfew House, Rope Bridge, and The Dark Hedges while navigating the Antrim Coast Road.

After leaving Belfast in the morning, a short journey will take you to the first stop of the day at Carrickfergus Castle, a 12th-century Norman castle. Walk around and take photographs of the castle and the harbor.

Continue the drive along the Antrim Coast Road, traveling through some of the nine Glens of Antrim. Wind through small towns and villages, hearing the myths and legends of the fairies and leprechauns that reside in these Glens.

Driving through Glenarm, pass Carnlough Harbour, the Waterfoot Caves, and Cushendun Curfew house. Travel up through Glencorp and Glendunn, passing the coastal town of Ballycastle before arriving at the Portaneevy View Point to see Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge. 

Stop to admire views at the rope bridge and look across to the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland and Rathlin Island. Listen to the stories behind these sights before stopping next at the Dark Hedges, known as the Kingsroad in the Game of Thrones HBO series.

Walk among the trees made famous by the Game of Thrones followed by a lunch stop at a traditional pub (costs not included). 

Later, visit more locations from the Game of Thrones. Travel by Carnlough Harbour where Arya Stark swam and pass by Magharmorne Quarry where Castle Black was located.

The finale of the day is a stop at the Giant’s Causeway where you can explore, walk across the historic stones, and learn about the legend of the Giant Finn MacCool. Discover how and why he built the Causeway. 

After your day of exploring is done, travel directly back to Belfast via the inland route and get dropped off back in the city center or at the activity provider's office in Queen's Quarter.

Booked online before we arrived in Belfast. Started at the Allen's Tours office. Interesting trip as far as the Giant's Causeway - even had snow. Don't know anything about the Game of Thrones stuff so that part of the commentary was lost on me. However references to the G of T stuff, names, "that's where so-and-so did this or that" and so on didn't dtract from the tour.

The tour was perfect especially to those who are fans of Game of Thrones. I commend our tour guide who gave fun facts about each towns that we passed through. The journey towards every destination was breathtaking as we traverse through seaside roads and valleys. My favorite part was the Giant's Causeway because of the amazing rock formations and beautiful scenery. Good thing we can bring water and something to eat inside the bus. Also, dress appropriately as the weather is unpredictable.

First time visiting Belfast and knew we had to see the dark hedges and giant’s causeway. Taking this tour was the best idea! Not only stopped at these 2 attractions, but the lively guide Lindsey also stopped at 2 other scenic locations. It was a comfortable and enjoyable trip to and back. It was a lovely sunny day to enjoy the views, even though the wind was biting cold. But every bit worth it. Had a great time. Thank you!
