Itinerary
Enjoy views over Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Rathlin Island, Sheep Island and the Scottish coast from the viewing point at Portaneevy. We won't be crossing the bridge as it is now a conservation site and closed to groups - but you'll experience the best views and get the opportunity to take awesome photos!
Arrive at the world-renowned Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most extraordinary natural landscapes in the world.
Pass by: Drive past Dark Hedges on the way back to Belfast. This ancient tree lined road is probably the most famous haunted avenue in Europe! The road has been closed to public traffic recently so we won't be able to stop - however you'll enjoy some cool views as we drive by on an adjacent road!
We'll stop briefly at Carrick-a-Rede, famous for its rope bridge that once connected the mainland to the small island of Carrick.

Traveler reviews
Worth the trip to see...
Worth the trip to see this iconic heritage site. Even though the skies were a bit gloomy it added to the dramatic scenery. Highly recommend.
Great fun short trip!
Amazing, knowledgeable driver with a great sense of humor. Always felt safe and well cared for. The trip was comfortable, and the stay was short(as planned), but great. You’d probably need a full day to cover the grounds, but an hour or so gives you enough for some exploring and photos. Glad we squeezed this into our short stint in Belfast!
Visit to the Giant’s Causeway
Bus left at 8 o’clock sharp! The driver provided commentary on places of interest as we left the city. He also played Irish music on the way there and back, gave us some background info on Irish history and talked about folklore and superstitions. He was clear about departure times and gave advice on safety as it was a wet day. The Causeway was great to see but we didn’t go right down or climb up high as it was fairly slippery! We walked down to it but got the wee bus back up the hill as it’s quite steep. The time actually flew in and we felt a bit rushed at the end. Would have liked to have gone in the hotel for a cuppa as we were cold. It was still a fantastic experience though!
Great half day tour
Great little half day tour if you're short on time, guide Rory great cràic & very informative, only negative is tour does not include time at bridge which apparently is not included anymore as coach can not get nearer so site needs to update itiniary to state this.
Giant fun
