Full description
With an early start in Dublin this tour is designed to take you to the best locations in Northern Ireland to ensure with the limited time you have that you will make the most of the day ahead. Enjoy a relaxed journey and listen to the stories and history from the guide as we take you on an adventure you will never forget. The first stop of the day is at the Giant’s Causeway. This UNESCO world heritage site is truly a view to behold. With Thousand of interlocking basalt columns spreading across the coastline you will discover how the strange rock formation was formed thousands of years ago due to a volcanic eruption. Or maybe it is the legend Finn McCool himself that created the rock formation as he battled with the Scottish Giant? Dunluce castle is just around the corner. Spend 10 min here taking in the views from the Atlantic Ocean and hear the waves crash against the rocks. Experience the castle from a spectacular angle. Situated on the sheer cliff edge the ruins are truly majestic and have a lot of history and myths locked up in the walls. A perfect spot for a memorable photograph! As we travel through the Glens of Antrim we will visit the Dark Hedges. Made famous (Not that it was needed) by the hit TV series “ Game of Thrones” as the Kings road you will have the opportunity to walk along the avenue of Beech trees. Planted over 200 years ago as a stunning entrance to James Stuart’s new house it still lives on and still impress visitors today. Reaching Belfast we have one last stop and definitely another highlight of the day. The world renowned Belfast Titanic Exhibition extends over nine galleries, with multiple dimensions to the exhibition. From special effects, rides, full-scale reconstructions and interactive features you will explore the Titanic story in a fresh and insightful way from her conception in Belfast in the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to her infamous maiden voyage and catastrophic demise. The journey goes beyond the aftermath of the sinking, to the discovery of the wreck and continues into the present day in the Ocean Exploration Centre. With the entrance ticket included in the price of the tour this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this attraction. When time allows we will stop in Belfast city to have a quick break before heading back to Dublin, where you will be home in good time to have a great night out to finish a great day out!

Wonderful experience with a clean, comfortable coach. Lot of history to keep the journey informative and fun for a first time trip to Ireland. Attention to detail with garbage collection, emergency toilet and handing out chocolates:) Very convenient to do from Dublin and saves you the hassle to find out what not to miss. Thank you!

Booked the Giants Causeway and Titanic Experience Tour. Our host was Jonathan and our Driver Vic. Jonathan was great, he was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and approachable answering our many questions. Vic was great too, smooth driving and got us to the many stops on time and safely. The tour in its entirety was great. All the stops were perfectly on time and we had sufficient time at each stop. Jonathan would provide us with a brief explanation on the stop before arriving so we knew what to look out for and therefore enjoyed the stops more. A great experience and would totally recommend it to anyone visiting Ireland. We will definitely be back to do more tours with the team! What a great experience!

My husband and I travelled to Dublin and booked this trip on a whim to fill one of the days. It was absolutely brilliant and was by far worth every penny and was our favourite day. It’s a very busy schedule, but you do see lots and it’s great if you’re a GOT fan. You get lots of time at Giant’s Causeway and the Titanic Museum - about two hours ish. Our tour guides were superb and very helpful, you learn lots about the local history and landmarks as you travel. A very well organised and hassle free day out!
