Free cancellation, 24h

North across the border for the day: forty thousand basalt columns on the Antrim coast, the ship that was built here, and the city that built it.

The day

A guide, not a timetable. Tell your driver what matters most and the day moves around it.

07:00

Dublin, your hotel door

An early start, because the Causeway is three hours north and worth having to yourself for a while.

10:00

The Giant's Causeway

Forty thousand interlocking basalt columns where a volcano cooled sixty million years ago. The legend says a giant built it. The stones are free to walk; your ticket to the visitor centre is included.
Entrance included

12:30

The Antrim coast road

One of the great drives in Europe, with Dunluce Castle on its cliff and the glens opening up on the inland side.

14:30

Titanic Belfast

Built on the slipway where the ship itself was built. Nine galleries, from the shipyard to the wreck on the seabed. Your ticket is included.
Ticket included

16:30

Belfast city

Two hours through a city that has changed more than almost any in Europe. The murals, the Cathedral Quarter, and the pubs that have been there through all of it.

20:00

Back at your hotel

Roughly. It's a long day and the border traffic decides the last stretch.

Before you book

Pick-up
Any hotel or address in Dublin city. Tell us where when you book.
Crossing the border
Northern Ireland is part of the UK, but there is no border check. Bring photo ID anyway.

Currency
The north uses pounds. Cards work everywhere, so you don't need to change money.
It's a long day
Thirteen hours, with about six of them driving. Worth knowing if you're travelling with small children.
Start time
Starts at 07:00, every day. Every tour is customisable: a different start time, extra stops, more time where you like it, or a longer day. Tell us when you book.

Cancellation
