Overview

Discover the spectacular highlights of Northern Ireland on this popular 12 hour tour from Dublin. Along the way you’ll enjoy wonderful visits to UNESCO Giant’s Causeway, Belfast, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges and experience the very best of Northern Irish scenery.

Volcanic activity shaped this wonder of the world over 60 million years ago - although locals will insist it was actually a legendary giant from Celtic mythology. Learn all about it from your guide and decide for yourselves!

Game of Thrones fans will recognise Kings Landing and House of Greyjoy at Dark Hedges and Dunluce Castle and enjoy refreshments and downtown highlights in Belfast city.

This is the most comprehensive route possible from Dublin and has proven extremely popular over the last 20 years. Booking at least 24 hours in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment!

The Dark Hedges

We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!

Giant's Causeway

The Giant's Causeway is the highlight of this trip for most! Built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus, it is a real masterpiece formed of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns. Your tour guide shall tell you more about the Causeway, and the legends of the area. The path to the causeway stones starts behind the center, it is only 10 mins walk! For a small fare there is a mobility bus that can bring you all the way down the path to the Causeway, for those with walking difficulties. Enjoy 90 minutes here to explore at leisure, walk, hike, rest and take awesome pictures!

Dunluce Castle

We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world for a 60 minute stop, prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Part of the Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600's, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by the unfortunate servants. Your entrance fee is included so enjoy 60 minutes at leisure to explore and get some incredible photos before we leave the coast and make our way to Belfast.

Belfast

On our way back to Dublin we stop in Belfast for some time at leisure, with your guide pointing out some of the highlights of this great city as we arrive. We will stop near the City Hall for approximately 60 minutes, so you can enjoy some free time in the city centre for fresh air and refreshments. Please note: This is a brief visit to Belfast for those who may not have another opportunity to visit. You do not have enough time to adequately explore both Giant's Causeway region and Belfast in one day from Dublin. If you wish to experience Belfast properly we recommend you spend at least one full day there. From here, the return journey to Dublin is smooth and efficient. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
