Activity itinerary

The Dark Hedges

  • 15m
The Dark Hedges is one of the most atmospheric natural landmarks in Northern Ireland. Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family, this striking avenue of beech trees was designed to impress visitors approaching Gracehill House. Over time, the trees have grown tall and twisted, their branches arching overhead to form a tunnel-like canopy that feels both magical and slightly eerie. The site has become world-famous for its haunting beauty and was featured in the TV series Game of Thrones, where it appeared as the Kingsroad. Today, it attracts photographers, nature lovers, and travellers from around the world, especially in the early morning or at dusk when the light enhances its mysterious charm. Despite its popularity, it still retains a quiet, otherworldly feel.

Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a thrilling coastal attraction linking the mainland to a small rocky island. First erected by salmon fishermen over 250 years ago, the bridge spans nearly 20 metres above the crashing Atlantic waves below. Crossing it offers breathtaking views of rugged cliffs, turquoise waters, and, on clear days, even the distant Scottish coast. Managed by the National Trust, the site is both a natural wonder and a historic landmark. Visitors can explore scenic walking trails along the coastline before braving the swaying bridge itself. The combination of dramatic scenery, rich heritage, and a touch of adventure makes it one of Northern Ireland’s most unforgettable experiences.

Ballintoy Harbour

  • 20m
The Ballintoy Harbour is a picturesque fishing harbour nestled along the rugged Antrim Coast. Surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and rocky outcrops, it offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and nearby islands. Traditionally used by local fishermen, the harbour retains a quiet, authentic charm that contrasts with more crowded tourist spots. The area gained international recognition after appearing in the TV series Game of Thrones, where it stood in for the Iron Islands. Visitors can explore rock pools, walk along the scenic coastline, and take in the raw beauty of Northern Ireland’s shoreline. Its blend of natural scenery, history, and cinematic fame makes it a must-visit destination.

Giant's Causeway

  • 1h 30m
The Giant’s Causeway is a world-famous natural wonder made up of around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity over 60 million years ago. These unique hexagonal stones stretch from the cliffs into the sea, creating a striking and almost otherworldly landscape. According to Irish legend, the causeway was built by the giant Finn McCool as a path to Scotland, adding a layer of myth to its scientific significance. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it attracts visitors from around the globe who come to explore its unusual formations and dramatic coastal setting. The blend of geology, folklore, and breathtaking scenery makes it one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic landmarks.

Dunluce Castle

  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Dunluce Castle is a dramatic medieval ruin perched on the edge of a basalt cliff overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean. Dating back to the 13th century, it was once a stronghold of the powerful MacDonnell clan. Its precarious position and rugged surroundings give it a wild, romantic atmosphere shaped by centuries of wind and waves. Steeped in history and legend, parts of the castle are said to have collapsed into the sea during a storm. It also gained modern fame through its appearance in the TV series Game of Thrones. Today, visitors can explore its remains and enjoy sweeping coastal views, making it one of Northern Ireland’s most striking historic sites.

Bushmills Distillery

  • 30m
The Old Bushmills Distillery is the oldest licensed whisky distillery in the world, with roots dating back to 1608. Located near the village of Bushmills, it has been crafting Irish whisky for centuries using traditional methods combined with modern expertise. The distillery is renowned for its smooth, triple-distilled single malt whiskies, which are matured in oak casks to develop rich and complex flavours. Visitors can take guided tours to learn about the distillation process, explore the historic site, and sample a range of its award-winning spirits. Closely tied to the heritage of the region, the distillery remains a symbol of Northern Ireland’s craftsmanship and culture, attracting whisky enthusiasts from around the globe. **Tasting Only for Cruise Ship Passengers**

Dunseverick Castle

  • 5m
The Dunseverick Castle is a small but historically significant ruin perched on a rocky headland along the Causeway Coast. Though little remains today, the site dates back over a thousand years and was once an important stronghold, even visited by Saint Patrick according to local tradition. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and sweeping views of the North Atlantic, the castle offers a peaceful and scenic stop along the coastline. Its remote location and windswept setting give it a timeless, almost mystical atmosphere. Despite its modest remains, Dunseverick Castle is rich in history and provides a striking glimpse into Northern Ireland’s ancient past.

White Park Bay

  • 5m
The Whitepark Bay is a stunning stretch of golden sandy beach nestled between rolling green cliffs along the Causeway Coast. Known for its unspoiled natural beauty, the bay offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and a peaceful atmosphere away from busier tourist spots. The beach is backed by dunes and farmland, and visitors may even spot wildlife such as seabirds and grazing cattle nearby. Popular for walking, photography, and picnics, it’s also rich in history, with ancient sites and fossils occasionally found in the area. Its combination of scenic landscapes and quiet charm makes Whitepark Bay one of Northern Ireland’s most beautiful coastal locations.

Falls Road

  • 25m
The Falls Road Murals are a powerful series of political and cultural artworks located along Falls Road in West Belfast. These murals reflect the history, identity, and experiences of the nationalist community, particularly during and after The Troubles. Painted on the sides of buildings, the murals depict themes such as civil rights, resistance, remembrance, and solidarity with global movements. They have evolved over time, with older images preserved alongside newer works addressing modern issues. Today, they serve as both a form of expression and a visual record of Belfast’s past, attracting visitors who want to better understand the city’s complex history and culture.

Peace Wall

  • 10m
The Peace Walls are a series of barriers built to separate nationalist and unionist communities during The Troubles. First constructed in 1969, these walls were intended as temporary measures to reduce violence, but many still stand today, stretching for miles across parts of the city. Made of concrete, steel, and fencing, the walls are often covered in murals, messages, and signatures from visitors around the world, turning them into powerful symbols of both division and hope. Gates in the walls are still closed at night in some areas. Today, they serve as important historical landmarks, offering insight into Belfast’s past while also representing ongoing efforts towards peace and reconciliation.

Shankill Road

  • 25m
The Shankill Road Murals are a striking collection of artworks located along Shankill Road in West Belfast. These murals reflect the identity, history, and perspectives of the unionist and loyalist community, particularly during The Troubles. Often bold and symbolic, the murals depict historical events, political figures, cultural pride, and memorials to those who lost their lives. Like their counterparts on Falls Road, they have evolved over time, with some newer pieces focusing on peace and shared future themes. Today, they form an important part of Belfast’s cultural landscape, offering visitors insight into the city’s complex history and the communities that shaped it.

City Hall

  • 5m
The Belfast City Hall is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, located in the heart of Belfast. Opened in 1906, this grand Baroque Revival building features an impressive white Portland stone exterior and a striking green copper dome. It serves as the civic headquarters of Belfast City Council and stands as a symbol of the city’s heritage and pride. Inside, visitors can explore beautifully decorated rooms, stained glass windows, and exhibitions that tell the storey of Belfast’s history and development. The surrounding gardens include memorials, statues, and open green spaces popular with locals and tourists alike. Both day and night, when illuminated, Belfast City Hall remains a central and elegant focal point of the city.

Titanic Belfast

  • 5m
The Titanic Belfast is a world-renowned museum located on the site where the RMS Titanic was designed and built. Opened in 2012, the building’s striking, ship-like design reflects Belfast’s rich maritime heritage and its historic shipbuilding industry.

Visitors can experience immersive exhibits, including reconstructions, special effects, and personal stories of passengers and crew.
