    15 minutes
  • Glenarm Castle, Glenarm, United Kingdom
    Get up close with one of the few remaining Irish castles still lived in by the same family for hundreds of years. Sadly, as it is a private home, we cannot visit, but our tour will uniquely take you to an amazing vantage point (depending on vehicle) above Glenarm to view this Gothic masterpiece in all its glory and a stop at its amazing grand entrance, The Barbican (which features in Dungeons & Dragons 2023 Movie).
    15 minutes
  • Carnlough Harbour, Carnlough, United Kingdom
    A stopover in Carnlough - and not its library - will reward you with views of its beautiful limestone harbour, its railway bridges, the hotel once owned by the Churchill family and of course your first Game of Thrones location of the tour. You can also grab a coffee or a snack in the nearby shop.
    20 minutes
  • Glenariff Forest Park, County Antrim, United Kingdom
    DEPENDING ON WEATHER CONDITIONS AND SEASON. Travel through the Queen of the Nine Glens of Antrim - an inspiration for Narnia in the CS Lewis novels - and home to the tumbling waterfalls and ancient woodlands of Glenariff Forest Park.
    30 minutes
  • Cushendall, Cushendall, United Kingdom
    Before we pass through lovely Cushendall we take a stop at Agnew's Field and marvel at the sheer scale of Glenariff Glen and the ruins of the ancient Redbay Castle. The village itself has at its heart the 'Curfew Tower' and the magnificent murals celebrating the Irish game of Hurling. Comfort break available here.
  • Cushendun Village, Ballymena, United Kingdom
    OPTIONAL. This pretty seaside village is a conservation area in the ownership of the National Trust. Admire its half-slated homes in the Scottish style and the sculpture of Johann the goat and the story of his tragic end.
  • Torr Head, Ballycastle, United Kingdom
    THIS TRIP DEPENDS ON WEATHER, ROAD CONDITION, VEHICLE SIZE. The Torr Head Scenic Route curves its way across the high cliffs of the Antrim Coast, with amazing sea views and the Scottish coast just 12 miles distant (weather permitting). Admire deep green inlets and otherworldly rock formations before reaching the astonishing Murlough Bay with its curious link to 20th century Irish history.
    50 minutes
  • Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Ballycastle, United Kingdom
    (Depends on Season & Weather) This amazing bay is accessed by a narrow road that winds its way from the limestone cliffs that feature as the Stormlands in Game of Thrones, to the rocky shoreline with its limestone and basalt rock features, battered year-round by North Atlantic Ocean.
    30 minutes
  • 9 Bayview Rd, Ballycastle BT54 6BT, UK
    We will stop at this celebrated seaside resort for lunch or dinner(depending on season) at one of the award-winning local restaurants with their famous seafood dishes and its world renowned chowder - Ballycastle being the first place to send and receive wireless radio signals by Marconi's team - then head along the coast to Kinbane. Winter Options Differ.
    60 minutes
  • Kinbane Castle, Ballycastle, United Kingdom
    (TIme and Weather Permitting) The ruins of Kinbane Castle sit on a long, narrow limestone headland projecting into the sea, overlooking the churning waters of the Straits of Moyle, Rathlin Island and the Scottish Islands. Marvel at the tumbling waterfall and the sea caves far below the coastal path.
    15 minutes
  • Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, Ballintoy, United Kingdom
    This trip does not include a crossing of the Rope Bridge (c. 3 hours). Instead we will view the Rope Bridge from above from Portaneevy Lookout Point and enjoy a panoramic view of the coastline and views across to Scotland (weather permitting).
    10 minutes
  • Giant's Causeway, Bushmills, United Kingdom
    Visitors are advised that this site is extremely busy with congestion at peak times. We will endeavour to reach the site at quieter times to enhance your enjoyment. Please also advise us in advance if you have mobility issues. The Giant's Causeway is the most visited natural attraction in Ireland and is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. With its astonishing collection of over 40,000 basalt columns, it is one of the must-see natural wonders on this spectacular coastline - if not the world - but let us know your thoughts.
    45 minutes
  • Dunluce Castle, Portrush, United Kingdom
    TIME AND WEATHER DEPENDENT. Nearly 250 years in construction, the clifftop location of Dunluce Castle has attracted artists and photographers for years. One of the most impressive castle ruins in Ireland, this stop will appeal to your inner artist. Allow at least 10 minutes to enjoy this amazing testament to the enterprise of the Irish, 600 years after building began. ENTRANCE TO CASTLE NOT INCLUDED ON THIS STOP.

We had a great tour guide. However, I wish Viator or the tour group would have informed us that the castles (which were included on the price) were closed on Monday. We didn’t get to see any castles just scenery. The scenery was great but after 8 hours of hopping in and out of a car to look at views, got tiresome.

This was definitely my favorite tour experience to date - Fergal was wonderful throughout. He adapted to our needs and took us to places we would have never known to go to. He was knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. I can’t recommend this tour with any higher confidence.

Our tour was absolutely amazing. Fergal, our tour guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable and took us to places the big tour buses couldn’t. I would highly recommend this tour.
