Game of Thrones Tour From Belfast

Antrim Coast Road: Your Tour will begin from your pickup location, where you will meet your driver and guide for the day. There we will begin our journey to the north coast travelling through the rolling farmland of County Antrim. The Antrim Coast Road is widely agreed to be one of the finest stretches of road anywhere in the world. The road hugs the coastline giving incredible seaside views, passing unspoiled beaches, and sheltering under rugged cliffs. You may even see Scotland on a good day!

Carnlough Harbour: Our first stop of the day takes us into the picturesque fishing village of Carnlough for a quick comfort break. Series six of Game of Thrones saw Carnlough harbour feature for the first time. This harbour although built in the nineteenth century during the famine years still retains an old-world charm, which meant that it didn’t seem out of place when it first appeared in Game of Thrones.

Cushendun Cave – Storms End: This is a stunning coastal location with incredibly rugged yet beautiful geological features! What happened in these Cushendun caves took many GOT fans by surprise. These beautiful sea caves helped to create the ominous setting of one of the TV show’s most mystical and frightening scenes. Here, with Davos Seaworth watching in horror, Melisandre gives birth to the shadow baby that eventually kills Renly Baratheon.

Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge: Next stop we visit one of the most visited places in Northern Ireland amazing Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge where you can cross a bridge that spans a chasm over 75ft in height. (Please note that the Carrick-A-Rede Rope bridge may sometimes be closed due to weather conditions or repairs.

There will be a 1-mile walk from the car park to the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, if you have mobility issues, have small children, or use a stroller that can’t handle unpaved pathways.

(If you wish to cross the bridge you will need to pre-book your ticket) Please let us know before purchasing your tickets and we will advise of an approx. time of arrival. if you do not wish to cross, we can stop at the viewing point for photos.

Ballintoy Harbour – Lordsport: Ballintoy Harbour is the location for Theon Greyjoy’s return to the Iron Islands. This small coastal village is one of the most pretty and picturesque towns in Ireland. Ballintoy means “raised beach” and it was used for the exterior Pyke shots in the Game of Thrones™ TV series. 

In the presence of Balon and Yara Greyjoy and the other Ironborn, the baptism of Theon was used to reaffirm his allegiance to the God of the Sea. Ballintoy was the setting for this scene. Sadly, for Balon, this is also the set of his sea burial.

White Park Bay: A Beautiful scenic beach at the very tip of Ireland and the closest country from here would be Iceland which is 800 miles away.

Lunch Stop: We can stop for lunch in a nice Irish pub to sample our good food and maybe a cheeky pint of Guinness. Or if you want to keep it simple then have a nice portion of fish and chips and not forget mushy peas, from one of the local chip shops.

Our Next stop Giants Causeway: Commonly called ‘the 8th wonder of the world’, is the only world heritage site in Ireland. During our stop here you can spend time climbing over the ancient stones, snapping photos, and reflecting on the myths and legends of this very unique area.

Prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Home to the McDonnell Clan for many years and considered the most romantic castle in Ireland. En route we pass through Bushmills, famed for the fantastic whiskey, which is enjoyed all over the world.

The Dark Hedges: One of the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges were used as a set for the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It was the famous King’s Road in Season 2. The hedges were planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century.
