Private Giant's Causeway and Antrim Coast Tour

Discover Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site on a private day trip from Belfast, with Dunluce Castle, the Dark Hedges and the Causeway Coastal Route.
Spend a full private day on the North Antrim Coast with your own local guide and vehicle, collected from your hotel, Belfast Cruise Terminal or the airport. The Giant's Causeway is Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, and this tour pairs it with the castles, beaches and viewpoints of the Causeway Coastal Route. Only your group travels with us, so the pace, the stops and the time at each one are shaped around you.

ITINERARY

Antrim Coast Road: We head north on the coast road carved into the cliffs in 1842, between the Atlantic and the Antrim plateau.

Carnlough Village: A short stop in this quiet harbour village at the foot of Glencloy to stretch your legs.

Causeway Coastal Route: Sheer basalt cliffs, clifftop ruins and open Atlantic views along one of the world's great road journeys.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge: The bridge hangs almost 100 feet above the sea, linking the mainland to a small island that salmon fishermen have crossed for more than 270 years. It is a one mile walk from the car park on unpaved paths. To cross, please pre-book your ticket and ask us for an arrival time first. If you prefer not to cross, we stop at the viewpoint for photos.

White Park Bay: A photo stop above a wide crescent of white sand between chalk cliffs, with Scotland visible on a clear day.

Giant's Causeway: Around 40,000 basalt columns, formed by volcanic activity 60 million years ago, step from the cliffs into the sea. The stones are about a mile's walk down from the Visitor Centre, or £1 each way on the shuttle bus. A ticket is only needed for the Visitor Centre, and your guide will show you the free entrance.

Lunch: Bushmills Village has fish and chips, sandwich shops, cafés and restaurants. The Bushmills Inn must be booked ahead. Lunch is not included.

Old Bushmills Distillery: Whiskey has been made here since 1608, making it the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. Distillery tours must be pre-booked, so please ask us for an arrival time first. If you skip the tour, we still stop for the tasting room.

Dunluce Castle: A photo stop at the 13th-century ruins perched on a basalt outcrop above the Atlantic.

The Dark Hedges: The tunnel of 18th-century beech trees seen as the King's Road in Season 2 of Game of Thrones.

Return to Belfast: Sit back and relax on the drive back to your hotel or the cruise terminal.
