About this tour
This is a shared, per-person coach day out from Belfast with City Tours Belfast, the budget-friendly way to see the North Antrim coast. The coach follows the coast road north, with a live-commentary driver-guide telling the stories and legends of the area as you go.
Stops include a castle on the shore of Belfast Lough (pay to go in, or just take photos), a viewpoint over the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, the beech avenue of the Dark Hedges and the ruins of Dunluce Castle. The centrepiece is about an hour and a half at the Giant's Causeway, where walking on the basalt columns costs nothing extra; the operator suggests skipping the paid visitor centre and spending the time on the stones.
The tour leaves at 8:45 am and runs about eight and a half hours, ending back at the departure point. There is no hotel pickup, food and drinks are at your own cost, and the walking calls for a moderate level of fitness.
