Explore the rugged coastline of Northern Ireland on this private full-day tour from Belfast. Discover dramatic scenery, ancient landmarks, and famous Game of Thrones filming locations with a knowledgeable local guide. Visit Dunluce Castle, the Giant’s Causeway, Ballintoy Harbour, Carrick-a-Rede viewpoint, and more — with the flexibility to enjoy it all at your own pace.
Your day begins with pickup from your hotel, cruise terminal, or agreed location in Belfast. Travel north through scenic countryside as you make your way toward the stunning Antrim Coast.
Make a short photo stop at Bushmills, home to the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery. Then explore the ruins of Dunluce Castle, perched on a dramatic cliff edge and known to Game of Thrones fans as the seat of House Greyjoy, Pyke Castle.
Next, take in the sweeping views at Magheracross Viewpoint before arriving at the legendary Giant’s Causeway — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the unusual basalt columns formed by volcanic activity (or, as legend says, by giants), and enjoy time to walk the trails and take in the natural wonder.
Continue to Ballintoy Harbour, another iconic filming location used to depict the Iron Islands in Game of Thrones. Afterward, you’ll have the option to stop for a bite to eat and a drink at the Fullerton Arms, a popular local bar and restaurant.
After lunch, enjoy a scenic stop at the viewpoint above the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, where you can admire the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters from above. Then travel on to the hauntingly beautiful Dark Hedges, known to fans as the King’s Road.
End your day with a relaxing return journey to Belfast, where your guide can also take you past the city’s famous Peace Wall and political murals on the Falls and Shankill Roads, depending on time and interest.
This private tour includes transport in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and plenty of photo stops — offering the perfect blend of storytelling, scenery, and flexibility.
