This full-day coach tour from Belfast covers key natural and historical sites along Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast. The trip lasts about eight hours and includes stops at Carrickfergus Castle, the Antrim Coast Road, Glens of Antrim, and a viewing point for the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Due to National Trust staffing issues, groups cannot cross the rope bridge, but there is time to take photos from Portaneevy View Point. The itinerary continues with a visit to the Dark Hedges, known from the Game of Thrones series as the Kingsroad. Guests have about an hour to walk among the trees and then take a lunch break at a local pub (lunch not included). Next is a 30-minute stop at Bushmills Distillery, where visitors can buy whiskey or bottles to take home. The highlight is a 90-minute visit to the Giant's Causeway, allowing guests to walk on the stone formations; access to the Visitor Centre is not included. The tour concludes with a brief stop at Dunluce Castle, a cliffside fortress featured in Game of Thrones and once home to the Mac Donnell Clan. The coach is air-conditioned and luxury class, with live commentary and a professional guide throughout the day.
