Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge Day Trip from Belfast
1 day
Full Day
About this activity
Cross the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge for free when it is open! No other Belfast company includes the fee and charges you £6 cash on the day!
Your tour is designed to visit as many sights as possible in one day, so you'll have chance to stop along the way to admire the Dark Hedges, a key filming location for hit TV series Game of Thrones. After a 10-15-minute stop to take photos, enjoy a quick visit to the striking ruins of Dunluce Castle, before continuing to the Giant's Causeway.
Enjoy around 1.5 hours to marvel at the spectacular landscapes, made up of some 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Continue along the coast to the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, a 66-foot (20-meter) long bridge that crosses the Atlantic Ocean, linking the mainland to the Carrick-a-rede island. You'll have around an hour and 20 minutes to explore, which is plenty of time to brave the bridge crossing or hike along the coast, enjoying views of nearby Sheep Island and the Mull of Kintyre. When the weather is nice and the bridge is open, you will get to cross the Rope Bridge without paying anything extra.
Make a final stop in Cushendun, the closest point between Ireland and Scotland with amazing views of Scotland on a clear day, then drive back to Belfast over the Glens of Antrim, taking in dramatic views along the Antrim Coast. Your tour ends back in central Belfast around 6pm.
Please note: Bringing a packed lunch is advised in order to maximise time on the tour.
