About This Tour

This is the tour for anyone who wants to tick off Northern Ireland’s biggest highlights in a single day without the hassle of hiring a car or planning routes. It is a long day at 13 to 14 hours, but the payoff is substantial - you get the Titanic Museum with entry ticket included, the Giant’s Causeway, the Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and free time in Belfast. Every major stop delivers something memorable, and the guide keeps the coach journey entertaining with stories and history along the way.

The Titanic Belfast Museum is where you start, and 90 minutes gives you enough time to work through the exhibitions that trace the ship from its construction in the Belfast shipyard to its sinking in the North Atlantic. The museum is world-class and the included entry ticket saves you both the queue and the cost of buying separately. After the museum, you get free time in Belfast’s city centre to stretch your legs and see landmarks like the Big Fish sculpture and the Albert Memorial Clock.

The Antrim coast drive is spectacular, with the road hugging clifftops above the sea as you head towards the Causeway. The Dark Hedges is a quick but striking stop - an avenue of intertwined beech trees that became instantly famous as the King’s Road in Game of Thrones. The Giant’s Causeway itself needs no introduction. The 40,000 interlocking basalt columns rising from the sea are one of Ireland’s most photographed natural wonders, and you get 1.5 hours to walk among them, explore the visitor centre, and take in the coastal paths. A pause at Dunluce Castle on the return, a medieval ruin balanced on the edge of a sheer cliff, rounds out the day before the drive back to Dublin.
