Description

Escape the crowds and discover the quiet magic of the Causeway Coast on this private full-day tour from Belfast for up to 6 people. While the Giant’s Causeway is rightly world-famous — and there is an option to include a visit if you’d like — this route focuses on the region’s peaceful, authentic, and breathtaking hidden gems, far from the main tourist trail. Your adventure begins with a stunning drive along the Glens of Antrim Coastal Route, where rugged headlands, green valleys, and sweeping sea views guide your journey north. Your first stop is the mysterious lost village of Galboly, a remote and atmospheric cluster of abandoned stone cottages overlooking the ocean. Almost untouched by time, it offers a rare glimpse into life on Ireland’s north coast in a bygone era. From here, continue to Glenariff Forest Park, known as the ‘Queen of the Glens.’ Take a gentle walk through lush forest trails and admire the park’s beautiful waterfalls before we continue along the coast. Next, we visit the postcard-perfect village of Cushendun, with its whitewashed Cornish-style cottages and dramatic caves — a memorable filming location from Game of Thrones. Enjoy a relaxed wander along the bay before the route carries you onward to the extraordinary Torr Head Scenic Drive. This winding, cliff-hugging coastal road delivers breathtaking panoramas, including clear-day views across to Scotland. Your day continues to the traditional seaside town of Ballycastle, where you’ll enjoy free time to explore, shop, or relax with refreshments by the harbour. Depending on time — or if you choose a shorter stop in Ballycastle — Game of Thrones fans can add a visit to two iconic filming locations on the return journey to Belfast: Ballintoy Harbour (the Iron Islands) and the Dark Hedges (the Kingsroad). For travellers seeking an unhurried, authentic, and scenic experience of the Causeway Coast, this tour showcases its tranquil charm, dramatic landscapes, rich heritage, and the option to include a visit to the world-famous Giant’s Causeway for a perfectly tailored day out.
