Giants Causeway Express Tour Itinerary

Please note: The tour has only three stops and is designed for customers who have a limited amount of time, in Belfast City and at the Belfast Cruise Ship Terminal.

This is a typical itinerary. It can be modified to suit your individual needs and desires.

Your tour will begin with a scenic drive through Northern Ireland’s lush green fields and breathtaking countryside, then stop at the country’s most beautiful avenue of beech trees, The Dark Hedges to take in the breathtaking views of this beautiful avenue of beech trees. This luxury tour includes commentary by a local expert who will tell you about this area’s history, culture, and traditions.

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.  

Dunluce Castle: We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world. 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 1600s, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by unfortunate servants.

Giants Causeway: You will visit the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Stop at the Giant’s Causeway to enjoy around 1.5 hours of exploring the 40,000 interlocking hexagonal stone columns on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Hexagonal basalt columns formed during a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago.
