Duration: 14 hours
See Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and embark on a unique guided trip from Dublin and visit the beautiful location of Giant's Causeway and venture across the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.
Meet your guide in central Dublin in the early morning to start your trek to Belfast where you will spend approximately 45 minutes. Belfast has a very compact city center and is known internationally for its Northern Ireland conflict—the feud between Protestants and Catholics.
The next stop, the Dark Hedges, will be a 10-to-15-minute stop. The Dark Hedges were made famous as a filming location of the hit fantasy series Game of Thrones. Additionally, make a quick 5-minute photo stop at Dunluce Castle.
Afterward, arrive at the Giant's Causeway, where you can spend at least 1.5 hours. This must-see World Heritage Site has a magnificent seascape. Here you can have a sit-down lunch if you'd like (own expense).
The brave-at-heart have the opportunity to cross the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge if it is open. Carrick-a-Rede is an abandoned fishing island located just a few miles from the Giant’s Causeway. This 65-foot-long (20-meter-long) bridge is built from rope, and the views from it are arguably some of the best in Ireland. This stops lasts about 1.5 hours.
Continue on the coastal route, and go through beautiful coastal towns like Ballycastle and Cushendun where you can enjoy views of Sheep Island, Rathlin Island, and Scotland.
Lastly, stop for 20 minutes in Cushendun before returning to Dublin. Return to Dublin at approximately 8:30p.m.
