Description

Discover Ireland's natural beauty on a day trip from Belfast. Explore famous sights like the Giant's Causeway, travel along the Antrim Coast Road, see iconic Game of Thrones filming locations, and more.
Head to the meeting point in Belfast and board a comfortable bus to begin your guided day trip to some of Ireland's most beautiful spots. After a short drive, you'll reach your first destination for the day, Carrickfergus Castle.

Wander around the 12th-century castle and its grounds and discover one of the country's best-preserved medieval structures. Then, hop back aboard your tour bus to continue your adventure.

Marvel at panoramic views of the countryside and coastline as you travel along the Antrim Coast Road and pass through some of the nine Glens of Antrim.

Wind your way through small towns and villages and listen as your guide regales you with myths and legends of the fairies and leprechauns that reside in these Glens.

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

Stop here to take in the sweeping views and look across to the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland and Rathlin Island. Learn more about each of these locations from your guide before heading back to the bus to make your way to the next destination, the Dark Hedges.

Enjoy the unique experience of taking a stroll along the tree-lined avenue used as the filming location for the Kingsroad in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Then, having worked up an appetite, head to a local pub to refuel with lunch (cost not included).

Continue your tour after lunch, visiting more Game of Thrones filming locations. Travel past Carnlough Harbour where Arya Stark swam and pass Magheramorne Quarry where Castle Black was located.

Finally, reach the highlight of your day trip, the Giant's Causeway. Admire the interlocking basalt columns as you make the most of some free time at this iconic location. Explore, walk across the historic stones, and learn about the legend of the giant Finn McCool.

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