Belfast: Gobbins Cliff Path & Glens of Antrim Tour｜United Kingdom

Leave Belfast behind and explore the spectacular Antrim Coast and Glens on this private day tour, combining a dramatic coastal walk, picturesque harbour villages, beautiful scenery and the chance to experience some of Northern Ireland's most distinctive landscapes.

Your first stop is Carrickfergus Castle, one of the best-preserved Norman castles in Ireland. Enjoy time for photographs or, if you wish, you can choose to enter the castle (optional admission).

Continue along the coast to the Gobbins Cliff Path, a spectacular guided coastal walk featuring bridges, tunnels, caves and walkways built into the basalt cliffs above the Irish Sea. With dramatic coastal scenery and plenty of atmosphere, the Gobbins is one of Northern Ireland's most unique outdoor experiences.

After your Gobbins experience, continue along the Antrim Coast Road, widely regarded as one of the world's great scenic coastal drives. As the road winds along the coastline, you'll enjoy spectacular views across the Irish Sea before heading into the stunning Glens of Antrim, an area of lush valleys, waterfalls, mountains and traditional villages.

Stop in the picturesque harbour village of Carnlough, where you'll have free time to explore the waterfront, take photographs or enjoy refreshments in a local café or pub.

From Carnlough, the tour continues into the beautiful Glens of Antrim, where you can choose between two equally scenic experiences:

Option 1 – Glenariff Waterfalls

Known as the “Queen of the Glens”, Glenariff is famous for its lush woodland, dramatic waterfalls and peaceful walking trails. Enjoy a short walk through the forest to experience some of the waterfalls and beautiful scenery that make Glenariff one of the most popular natural attractions in the Glens.

Option 2 – Glenarm Castle Walled Gardens

Alternatively, visit the beautiful Walled Gardens at Glenarm Castle, one of Ireland's oldest walled gardens. Originally established in the 18th century, the gardens feature colourful planting, formal lawns, woodland paths and historic garden buildings, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting within the castle estate.

Admission to the Walled Gardens is optional and is not included in the tour price.

Both options allow you to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Glens of Antrim before beginning the return journey to Belfast.

The tour is private and flexible, so the exact timing can be adjusted where possible to suit your interests and the conditions on the day.

Relax on the journey back to Belfast, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel, cruise port or another preferred central location.
