- The Dark Hedges - Visit Northern Ireland’s most popular natural phenomenon, the Dark Hedges. Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests, many will recognize it as King’s Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It’s a wonderful photo opportunity and a chance to be part of a real-life set!

- Causeway Coastal Route - Travel along the Causeway Coast, where you can see stunning views of Rathlin Island and, on a clear day, even the Scottish coast 13 miles away. The views along this coastline are spectacular, making it one of the most visited destinations in Europe!
- Giant’s Causeway - The highlight for most, the Giant’s Causeway, is a masterpiece of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus. The tour guide will share more about the Causeway and its legends. The path to the stones starts behind the center and is only a 10-minute walk! For a small fare, a mobility bus is available for those with walking difficulties. Enjoy 90 minutes to explore at your leisure, walk, hike, rest, and take amazing pictures!
- Dunluce Castle - Arrive at one of the world’s most dramatic castle ruins for a 60-minute stop. Be amazed at how this old castle hangs over the cliff’s edge. Part of Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600s, and some servants tragically died. It is believed to be haunted by these unfortunate souls. The entrance fee is included, so enjoy 60 minutes exploring and capturing incredible photos before heading to Belfast.
- Belfast - On the return journey to Dublin, stop in Belfast for some leisure time. The guide will point out some highlights of this great city as you arrive. Near City Hall, enjoy approximately 60 minutes of free time in the city center for fresh air and refreshments. Note: This is a brief visit to Belfast for those who may not have another opportunity to visit. Adequately exploring both the Giant’s Causeway region and Belfast in one day from Dublin is not feasible. For a proper experience of Belfast, at least one full day is recommended. From here, the return journey to Dublin is smooth and efficient. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
