Our day trip of Giants causeway and Belfast was absolutely fantastic! The sights were breathtaking, and the city itself was full of charm. What truly made the experience special, however, was our tour guide, Quiggs. He was incredibly welcoming and shared fascinating insights into the history and culture of Ireland throughout our journey. His flute playing also added a unique and memorable touch to the day. Our driver, Thomas, was professional and ensured a smooth, comfortable ride. Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to explore northern ireland — great guide, great driver, and unforgettable experiences!

My party of five adults really enjoyed our tour and our guide, Peter, was fantastic! He was friendly, informative and really made the trip special. We loved Giants Causeway and the Causeway Coast area. Belfast was nice to see and we enjoyed going to The Crown Pub (oldest in Belfast) and doing some shopping and sightseeing. The Dark Hedges stop was nice too. Fun day!

Full description

Tour the coastline of Northern Ireland on a day trip from Dublin in a comfortable bus. Visit iconic sights, including the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and Belfast.

Depart Dublin and travel North, stopping at a service station along the way for breakfast, to buy lunch, and to stretch your legs. Your first attraction is to take a 5-minute photo stop at the famous and picturesque ruins of Dunluce Castle.

Afterward, head to the Giant's Causeway, formed from about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Enjoy at least 2 hours at the UNESCO World Heritage Site and get up close to the hexagonal columns, often referred to as the "8th Wonder of the World."

Take in the fantastic views of the Irish Sea and then spend around 20 minutes traveling along the avenue of intertwined beech trees known as "Dark Hedges." Planted in the 18th-century by the Stuart family, the beautiful sight was used in the Game of Thrones series and the Transformers movie.

Lastly, head to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland and the birthplace of the Titanic ocean liner. Stop next to Belfast City Hall and spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the city. Do some sightseeing, shopping, and grab some food before continuing the journey home.

Depart Belfast for the journey back to Dublin, reflecting on a day filled with stunning landscapes, iconic landmarks, and rich history. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive as your guide shares final stories and insights along the way. You'll arrive in Dublin in the evening, with unforgettable memories of Northern Ireland’s most captivating sights.

Our guide Quiggs was full of historic knowledge, mythical stories, humor, and a wealth of energy. He kept the group on schedule and took us to great places. Loved the visit especially to Giants Causeway, made even better by the beautiful weather and views. Thank you, Quiggs and our great driver Tomas.
