Belfast City & The Giant’s Causeway

Depart Dublin early by train from Connolly Station and arrive in Belfast, where your luxury coach awaits. A short drive introduces you to the city’s famous skyline, including the iconic Harland & Wolff shipyard cranes, Samson and Goliath, symbols of Belfast’s proud industrial past.

From here, follow the stunning Causeway Coastal Route northwards. With the sea on one side and the rugged Glens of Antrim on the other, you’ll pass through charming villages such as Glenariff, Cushendall, and Cushendun, with views that stretch to Scotland on a clear day. A hearty lunch of traditional pub fare awaits at the Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy.

The highlight of the day is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Giant’s Causeway. Explore its unique hexagonal rock formations, shaped by volcanic activity and steeped in myth and legend. Before returning to Belfast for your overnight stay, enjoy a final stop at the dramatic cliffside ruins of Dunluce Castle.
