The coach then travels along the Antrim Coast Road, recognized as one of the top five road trips worldwide, offering extended views for about two hours. There is a brief stop at Carnlough Harbour where visitors can take a comfort break in a location used for Game of Thrones filming. From there, the tour pauses at Portaneevy View Point to see Carrick-a-Rede Ropebridge. Lunch is served at The Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy, with pub-style meals available. After lunch, the tour visits Bushmills Distillery, the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in Ireland, where guests may browse the gift shop and take photos. The main highlight is a two-hour visit to the Giant’s Causeway, featuring distinctive volcanic rock formations. A photo stop follows at the ruins of Dunluce Castle. The day concludes with a 30-minute walk along The Dark Hedges, a tree-lined avenue made popular by Game of Thrones. The coach includes air conditioning, and a local guide provides commentary throughout the day.
