Escape the crowds and discover one of Northern Ireland’s best-kept secrets on this relaxed small-group journey through the breathtaking Glens of Antrim—with complimentary pickup and drop-off from Belfast hotels, accommodation, cruise port, and central transport hubs included.
Travelling north along the spectacular Antrim Coast, your first stop is the charming harbour village of Carnlough, a picturesque seaside gem known for its pretty waterfront, historic stone harbour, and relaxed coastal charm.
From here, venture into the hidden heart of the Glens to explore stunning Glenariff Forest Park—known as The Queen of the Glens—where woodland trails wind through ancient forest to cascading waterfalls, moss-covered gorges, and some of Northern Ireland’s most enchanting scenery. Guests can enjoy the famous waterfall walk, while shorter scenic routes and viewpoints are available for those seeking a gentler experience.
Continue to postcard-perfect Cushendun, one of Ireland’s prettiest coastal villages, where you’ll have time to stroll the beach, visit the nearby caves made famous in Game of Thrones, explore the village’s distinctive Cornish-style cottages, or simply relax with a drink in the legendary Mary McBride’s Bar, one of Northern Ireland’s most characterful traditional pubs.
Next comes the spectacular Torr Head Scenic Drive—one of Ireland’s most dramatic coastal roads—with breathtaking clifftop views across the North Channel to Scotland on clear days.
After time to relax and enjoy refreshments in the lively seaside town of Ballycastle, your final stop is one of the coast’s true hidden gems—Kinbane Castle. Dramatically perched on a limestone headland above the Atlantic Ocean, Kinbane offers unforgettable views, dramatic cliffs, and one of the most spectacular coastal settings anywhere in Ireland.
Then sit back and enjoy the scenic journey back to Belfast.
A relaxed pace, hidden gems, and unforgettable scenery—this is Northern Ireland beautifully off the beaten path.
