6.Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge, Carrickfergus Castle and Dark Hedges Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 596 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $33

Spend about eight hours touring Northern Ireland from Belfast with a guide such as Kevin, traveling by air-conditioned coach to Carrickfergus Castle, the Antrim Coast, Dark Hedges, Bushmills, Giant’s Causeway, and Dunluce Castle. The rope bridge is viewed from afar, not crossed, and food, drinks, and visitor-center fees cost extra.

“Really informative driver. No toilet facilities on board which was a bit difficult. As toilets at the causeway were inside the visitors centre costing £17.50 each. Really needs 2 hours at the causeway if you want to explore a bit, ok if you just want to see the causeway. Slightly disappointed with my tour as bith the distillery and the second castle was left off and no extra time anywhere else. Worth the money overall and a nice experience.”

The scenery throughout the drive was absolutely stunning. The weather was also great but of course that was just a happy accident. Paddy (tour guide) shared many interesting facts and stories with us throughout the drive - Irish history. Irish language, Irish mythology, etc. Recommendations for future tour goers include to be prepared to pack or buy…”

We were driven ample time at each stop, but the one thing that bummed us out at the Dark Hedges was that some people were not back at the buss at previous stops when asked to be. That’s by no fault of our tour guide or the bus driver. The last stop at the Titanic experience was a cherry on top for sure.”
