Discover the spectacular highlights of Northern Ireland on this popular 12 hour tour from Dublin. Along the way you’ll enjoy wonderful visits to UNESCO Giant’s Causeway, Belfast, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges and experience the very best of Northern Irish scenery.

Volcanic activity shaped this wonder of the world over 60 million years ago - although locals will insist it was actually a legendary giant from Celtic mythology. Learn all about it from your guide and decide for yourselves!

This is the most comprehensive route possible from Dublin and has proven extremely popular over the last 20 years. Booking at least 24 hours in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. {
We depart from Dublin and travel North, crossing the border and arriving to Northern Ireland. A brief comfort stop on the way will ensure you arrived refreshed and ready for a great day of sightseeing.
2. {
We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!
3. {
On our way towards the North Coast, we enjoy a scenic drive through some of the Glens of Antrim. This area has been named as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Enjoy a panoramic drive admiring the valleys, and lovely countryside of County Antrim.
4. {
We make our way to the Causeway Coast where we can see fine views of Rathlin Island, and on a clear day we may even see the Scottish coast 13 miles away. The views along this coastline are spectacular, no wonder it is one of the most visited destinations in Europe!
5. {
The Giant's Causeway is the highlight of this trip for most! Built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus, it is a real masterpiece formed of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns. Your tour guide shall tell you more about the Causeway, and the legends of the area. The path to the causeway stones starts behind the center, it is only 10 mins walk! For a small fare there is a mobility bus that can bring you all the way down the path to the Causeway, for those with walking difficulties.
6. {
We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world for a 1 hour stop, prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Part of the Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600's, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by the unfortunate servants. Take some impressive photos before we leave the coast and make our way to Belfast. (the visit is only outside)
7. {
We relax as we make our way back to Dublin via the motorway, and expect to return to Dublin at approx 8.30 pm after a fun-filled day!

The landscape was amazing. We had a very engaged and knowlegable buss driver. Our driver made sure everybody had a good time. It was easy to find the pick up place. The driver also made sure that we kept on schedule so there was little waiting for other passangers wich I really appriciated. We also had enough time at each attraction or breaks. The trip was well worth the time and money spent on it. It is a good idea to check the weather and bring clothes that fit the weatherconditions and also to keep in mind that there is a lot of fast changing of the weather in Irland. It might not be a god trip for very young children or people that find it hard to be seated for a ling time.
