Itinerary

Explore Belfast and Its Surroundings with City Sightseeing
Two of the top reasons visitors come to Belfast are the Giant’s Causeway and the iconic Game of Thrones filming locations. So why not experience both in a single day? By combining this unforgettable day tour with a 2-day Hop-On Hop-Off Belfast Bus Ticket, you’ll enjoy the ultimate Belfast and Northern Ireland experience.

Giant’s Causeway Day Tour
Your adventure begins at Carrickfergus Castle, a striking 12th-century fortress overlooking Belfast Lough. One of Northern Ireland’s best-preserved castles, it offers rich history, impressive medieval architecture, and beautiful coastal views.

From there, we continue north along the spectacular Antrim Coast, stopping at the picturesque fishing villages of Carnlough and Cushendall. Carnlough fans will recognise as Braavos from Game of Thrones, while Cushendall is steeped in local history and charm.

Next is a photo stop at the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, swaying almost 100 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Don’t worry — you won’t have to cross it! Instead, enjoy breathtaking views of dramatic cliffs and crashing waves.

Then comes the highlight of the tour: the Giant’s Causeway. This extraordinary natural wonder is made up of around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Whether you believe they were formed by volcanic activity or built by the legendary giant Finn McCool to battle a rival in Scotland, the Causeway is truly awe-inspiring. Your knowledgeable guide will bring the site to life with fascinating stories and folklore.

Afterwards, we head to the hauntingly beautiful Dark Hedges, made famous as the King’s Road in Game of Thrones. You’ll stop here to enjoy lunch, explore this atmospheric natural tunnel, and take some memorable photos.

The final stop of the day is Dunluce Castle, a dramatic medieval ruin perched on a cliff edge above the North Atlantic. Surrounded by legends of clan battles and shipwrecks, this iconic site offers spectacular panoramic views — perfect for photography.

Hop-On Hop-Off Belfast Bus Tour
