Additional information
Giant’s Causeway
The Giants Causeway, commonly called ‘the 8th wonder of the world’, it 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.

Dunluce Castle (Photo Stop)
We then make our way to Dunluce Castle for a photo opportunity. This now-ruined medieval castle sits perched on the edge of a basalt cliff and is one of the most picturesque castles anywhere in Ireland.
Bushmills Whiskey Distillery (Please note there is no time for the official tour) (Seasonal)
Our next stop of the day is at Bushmills Whiskey Distillery which has been creating beautiful ‘water of life‘ since 1608 making this the oldest working distillery in Ireland. Visit this place where family and friends have worked together for generations with the philosophy that hand crafting small batches is the way to create beautifully smooth whiskey. Your stop here allows time for tasting of course!
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (Viewing point only)
After lunch, we visit the amazing Carrick a Rede rope bridge – where you can view the bridge which spans a chasm over 75ft in height. The lovely coastal path provides a spectacular walk with stunning sea and cliff views.
Drive through Cushendall, Glenariff and Cushendun villages
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 unspoilt beaches, sheltering under rugged cliffs and the villages of Cushendall, Glenariff and Cushendun. You may even see Scotland on a good day!
Carnlough
Our second last stop of the day takes us into the picturesque fishing village of Carnlough for a quick comfort break. The village stop is a fitting end to your trip as you take in the quaint harbour used by pleasure boats and small fishing vessels in an area rich for both sea and fresh water angling.
