Tour description
First stop is Dunluce Castle for a photo opportunity, before making our journey to the world famous UNESCO listed Giants Causeway, often referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world,’ (approx. duration 1h 45mins).
Next, we visit the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge for a photo stop, which offers one of the most beautiful vistas in Ireland. Making our way along the beautiful Antrim Coast line through the 8 Glens of Antrim, our designated lunch stop is in the picturesque coastal village of Cushendall, (approx. duration 1 hour). Carrickfergus Castle is our next destination, a majestic Norman Castle in the harbour town of Carrickfergus.
On returning to Belfast, the city tour (due to time constraints this is not a hop-on/hop-off service) includes amongst other things the famous Belfast murals, peace walls, Falls Road and Shankill Road.
