Get your walking shoes(and a raincoat in case) and join us for a fantastic day out. Departing from Belfast we will stop at the famous Northern Ireland locations and hopefully give you a day to remember! Dunluce Castle Dunluce Castle balances on the edge of a rocky outcrop overlooking the North Channel. The medieval castle is now in a totally ruined state but still has partial remains of its round corner towers and outer wall. Built sometime in the 1200's the castle had a turbulent history and lots of stories to tell. From canons reclaimed from a Spanish Armada shipwreck to a lonely boy that survived when the kitchen collapsed into the sea. Giants Causeway The north Antrim coastline is renowned for its scenic beauty and the Giant's Causeway is its unique jewel in the crown, known to the Irish as the 8th Wonder of the World. A jagged promontory of neatly packed columns of hexagonal basalt rocks created some 6 million years ago by a flow of basaltic lava. Or was it the Giant Finn MacCool who fell in love with a lady giant on the island of Staffa and built the Giant’s Causeway to bring her over to him without getting his feet wet. However, the explanation, join us and you can make up your mind! The Dark Hedges Planted in 1775 by James Stuart to add an imposing approach to his house this avenue of Beech trees is truly a sight to behold. Rumour has it of a mysterious lady that glides through the trees. Some believe the ghost is to be that of a maid from a nearby house who died in mysterious circumstances hundreds of years ago. Others think she is a lost spirit from an abandoned graveyard, in the fields nearby. Inclusions: Guide Transport Exclusions: Meal Drop off at the hotel. Pick-up available from the hotel.

Leave the hustle and bustle of Belfast behind and let us show you what else Northern Ireland has to offer. Stand where Giants stood, marvel at the beauty, and to top it off we included the Titanic museum in this one day trip across the North. Dunluce Castle “There was an old man of Dunluce, who went out to sea on a goose.

A quick photo stop at one of the best castle ruins in Ireland and steeped in history. Balanced on the edge of a cliff Dunluce Castle is truly a sight to behold. Think you ever burned a pot on the stove..well the Lady of the House once found her kitchen collapsed into the sea! The castle has been used as the setting for the villains' lair in the film 'The Medallion' with Jackie Chan. It also appeared in the artwork of the inner gatefold of the 1973 Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy. Giant's Causeway Come and see where the Giant Finn MacCool once roamed the earth. Rumour has it that Finn was so enraged with the Scottish giant, Benandonner, that he tore large pieces out of the nearby cliffs and rammed them down into the seabed, making a causeway between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Benandonner crossed the sea to fight Finn but a caning plan made him fear the Giant and on his hasty retreat he destroyed the rocks, leaving behind what we have today.

Two of the top reasons that visitors come to Belfast are the Giant’s Causeway and the local Game of Thrones filming locations, so what could be better than getting to visit the two in one day? And by adding a 1-day Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Ticket, you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate Belfast experience. The tour starts by heading north along the spectacular Antrim coast to the picturesque fishing villages of Carnlough and Cushendall, which sit on the beautiful Antrim coast. Carnlough appears as Braavos in Game of Thrones and Cushendall is full of local history. Your English-speaking guide will make both places come to life with fascinating stories. Then, it’s on to the eerie and atmospheric Dark Hedges, made famous in the series as The King’s Road. You’ll stop to appreciate this amazing natural wonder and take some photos before heading on to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge . Though the bridge is temporarily closed, you’ll still be amazed that anyone dares cross it and by the spectacular surrounding scenery. The last stop on the tour is maybe the best of all. The Giant’s Causeway is an unbelievable natural wonder, formed by some 40 thousand interlocking basalt columns or, as legend has it, built by an Irish giant so he could cross the sea to Scotland to fight a rival there.
