Overview

This 14-hour day tour starts in Dublin at the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street. Travelers meet the guide and board an air-conditioned bus equipped with USB ports and Wi-Fi on some vehicles. The journey north to Northern Ireland takes about three and a half hours, with breaks at service stations for food and restroom use. The first stop is the Dark Hedges, a long avenue of beech trees known as the Kingsroad from Game of Thrones. Visitors have approximately 40 minutes to walk along the tree-lined road and take photographs. The tour then continues to the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring over 40,000 basalt columns arranged like a staircase leading into the sea. Guests have around two hours to explore the site and visit the Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre, which is included with no extra entry fees. On the return trip, the tour stops in Belfast for nearly two hours of free time to explore the city independently. Visitors may choose to walk through the city streets or visit landmarks such as City Hall. An optional Black Cab tour is available for those who want to learn more about Belfast's history, including the Troubles and cultural changes. The tour concludes with the return drive to Dublin, arriving back after about 14 hours in total. Lunch and gratuities are not included, and pick-up or drop-off services are not provided. Travelers should arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes before departure. Infants are welcome if customers bring their own safety seats, or a car seat can be rented for an additional fee.
