Itinerary
60 min
We leave Belfast and head north onto the world-famous Causeway Coastal Route - widely regarded as one of the finest coastal drives anywhere in the world. The road hugs the shoreline with spectacular sea views and sets the scene for a day along the dramatic Antrim coast.
20 min
A picturesque fishing village and our first stop of the day, perfect for a short comfort break. Built in the nineteenth century, Carnlough Harbour still keeps an old-world charm - so much so that it featured in Game of Thrones, where its steps stood in for the city of Braavos.
Admission not included60 min
One of the most visited places in Northern Ireland - a rope bridge suspended high above the sea, linking the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. Crossing is optional and requires a pre-booked ticket; if you prefer not to cross, there are stunning views from the cliff-top path. It is roughly a 1-mile walk from the car park, and crossings can occasionally close due to weather. Let us know in advance if you wish to cross and we will help arrange your ticket.
10 min
A beautiful sweeping sandy beach on the Causeway Coast, framed by white chalk cliffs and rolling dunes - a peaceful spot to stretch your legs, take photographs and enjoy some fresh sea air.
Admission not included60 min
You will visit the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Stop at the Giant’s Causeway to enjoy around 1 hour exploring the 40,000 interlocking hexagonal stone columns on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
40 min
A relaxed lunch stop at the Causeway Hotel, set right beside the Giant's Causeway. Enjoy a bite to eat and a hot drink at your own pace before we continue along the coast. Lunch is at your own expense.
Admission not included30 min
Old Bushmills Distillery: Bushmills Whiskey Distillery has been creating beautiful ‘water of life ‘since 1608 making this the oldest working distillery in Ireland. Visit the tasting room for sampling.
Admission not included15 min
A photo stop at the dramatic cliff-top ruins of Dunluce Castle, perched on the very edge of the Atlantic. Steeped in history and legend, this medieval stronghold is one of the most photographed castles in Ireland and a highlight of the Causeway Coast.
20 min
One of the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges were used as a set for the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It was the famous King’s Road in Season 2. The hedges were planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century. It was intended to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their home, Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become known as the Dark Hedges.

Giants Causeway tour
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Belfast Tours NI. Our guide, Murat Yilmaz, made our private Giant's Causeway tour unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up until he dropped us off 8 hours later, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating.
Travelling with two young boys can be challenging, but Murat was amazing with them. He kept them engaged, made the journey fun, and was so patient and kind throughout the entire day. His knowledge of Northern Ireland's history, culture, and the stunning locations along the coast made every stop interesting and memorable.
Nothing felt rushed, and Murat made sure we got the most out of every stop while tailoring the day to our family's pace. If you're looking for a private tour of the Giant's Causeway or Northern Ireland, I couldn't recommend Belfast Tours NI and Murat highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip and worth every penny. Five stars!

Hi Alana,
Thank you for such a wonderful review — it truly made our day.
I am delighted the Giant's Causeway tour lived up to what you hoped for. Travelling with young children can be a lot, so it means a great deal to hear the boys enjoyed the day as much as you did. They were a pleasure to have along.
Keeping the pace relaxed and tailoring the day around your family is exactly how a private tour should work, so I am glad nothing felt rushed and you had time to enjoy every stop properly.
Thank you for choosing Belfast Tours NI, and for such a generous recommendation. You would all be very welcome back in Northern Ireland any time.
Warm regards,
Murat Yilmaz

Fantastic Private 6hr tour of Giant's Causeway, Dark Hedges and the Coast
Amazing experience! Nigel was fantastic! Not only did we get to explore Giant's Causeway, but he went above and beyond to help us see more of the coast. Fantastic guide and so knowledgeable about the area. Due to time constraints we needed a shorter (6hr tour). I reached out to the company directly and they helped arrange it-fantastic service and amazing trip!
Operator response
Hi Nadia,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review — it truly made our day.
We are delighted you enjoyed exploring the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges and the beautiful Causeway Coast. Nigel will be thrilled to hear your kind words — he genuinely loves sharing the history and hidden corners of this part of Northern Ireland, and going the extra mile for our guests is exactly what we are about.
We were glad we could tailor a shorter 6-hour private tour to suit your time, and it means a great deal that the experience lived up to it from your very first message to us.
Thank you again for choosing Belfast Tours NI. We would love to welcome you back to Northern Ireland one day.
Warm regards,

An amazing experience touring attractions around the northern coast of Northern Ireland.
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Murat and our private tour of Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast, Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Ropes Bridge, Dunluce Castle and The Dark Hedges. Murat picked us up from our hotel in Belfast and was a wonderful tour guide all along the way. We really liked the fact that we could customize the stops along the way, including fitting in a stop at The Royal Portrush Golf Club to do a little Christmas shopping for the golf fans in the family. Murat 's love of photography shined through as he took joy in sharing his favorite spots for photos along the way. We all loved that we could relax and enjoy the sights from the comfort of a spacious passenger van. I would highly recommend this amazing experience to anyone looking to explore Northern Ireland.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — it really means a lot.
I’m delighted you enjoyed exploring the Antrim Coast, Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede, Dunluce Castle, and the Dark Hedges, and that the flexibility of a private tour made the day even better. The stop at Royal Portrush Golf Club was a great addition, especially for Christmas shopping for the golf fans 😊
I’m glad the photography spots, the relaxed pace, and the comfort of the van helped you fully enjoy the experience. Showing guests the best of Northern Ireland and tailoring the day to what matters most to them is exactly what I aim for.
Thanks again for the recommendation — it was a real pleasure hosting you.

Magical Journey through Northern Ireland
First of all I would like to thank John, our guide, for showing us multiple beautiful sights of Northern Ireland. It was a rainy start to our magical day. John picked us up promptly at 8AM at our hotel in Ballymena. Our first stop was the stunning fishing village of Carnlough. Our quest was to photograph North Ireland. Interestingly the start of our tour was where a scene of Game of Thrones was filmed. Fisherman were busy harvesting their lobster traps. From there we went to Cranny Falls in Gleenariff, a gorgeous unexpected stop. The whole drive along the coast lived up to their billing of one of the 5 best drives in the world. Then it was off to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and the Giant’s Causeway. I would recommend sturdy walking shoes as both destinations required a good hour of hiking from the cliffs to sea level and back again. Lunch was fish and chips in Bushmill followed by a taste testing of fine whiskey. Next was the Dunluce Castle and the finally the Dark Hedges, which was also used for filming Game of Thrones. John was charming and had brilliant stories throughout the day. I highly recommend using Belfast Tours NI for your customized excursion while in Northern Ireland!

Dear stevesJ,
Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed and enthusiastic feedback about your recent tour with John. I am absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a magical day exploring the beautiful sights of Northern Ireland, even with a rainy start!
I'm so pleased that John picked you up promptly and that your journey began with the stunning fishing village of Carnlough, and that you enjoyed seeing the Game of Thrones filming location and the busy fishermen. It sounds like Cranny Falls was a wonderful, unexpected discovery, and I'm thrilled that the coastal drive lived up to its reputation as one of the world's best.
It's great to hear that you enjoyed the iconic Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and the Giant’s Causeway, and I appreciate your practical tip about sturdy walking shoes for these sites! Your description of lunch with fish and chips in Bushmills, followed by a whiskey tasting, sounds like a perfect break. I'm also glad that you enjoyed the historical Dunluce Castle and the dramatic Dark Hedges, another memorable Game of Thrones location.
Most importantly, I'm delighted to hear that John was charming and shared brilliant stories throughout the day, making your experience truly special. We strive to provide customized excursions that are both enjoyable and informative, and it's clear that John delivered on that promise.
Thank you once again for your very high recommendation of Belfast Tours NI. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to Northern Ireland in the future.

Great day out on the coast
We had a great day out with Murat. He picked up the 4 of us from our Airbnb and took us on the Antrim coastal route to the Giants Causeway. We stopped in a couple of small towns and viewing spots along the way. We saw dolphins swimming off the shore! The views were beautiful and Murat was a great guide, discussing history, nature, folklore, etc. Definitely recommend!

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. It was lovely to meet you all. I'm glad you enjoyed your tour and the scenery on the Antrim Coast.

Highly recommend!
This was a magical day. Murat was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable about the area and very personable. Well worth the cost even though we ended up with only 3 of us. So much better than the large bus tours! We were able to choose our itinerary and how long we wanted to spend at each place.
