• Dunluce Castle - Perched on a basalt outcrop along the north coast of Antrim, this castle was once the stronghold of Clan MacDonnell, serving as a fortress against invaders from both land and sea during the medieval era. Constructed in the 13th century, this fortification has witnessed significant events in Irish history, with influences from Viking, Christian, and British eras. Visitors can marvel at its rugged beauty set against the Northern Atlantic Ocean, where the castle stands watch. The site is rich with eerie tales of crumbling walls and ghostly apparitions. Recently, it was featured in the Game of Thrones TV series as the great Pyke, the castle and seat of House Greyjoy. Dunluce also inspired C.S. Lewis’s descriptions of Cair Paravel in Narnia and appeared in Jackie Chan’s movie ‘The Medallion.’ Dunluce might be the first stop of the day, but it could be an unforgettable experience!

• Giant’s Causeway - Discover the heart of Ireland’s ancient mythological landscape at the otherworldly Giant’s Causeway. Stroll among the towering columns of what was once an epic bridge to Scotland, built by the legendary Finn McCool. Legend has it that this bridge extended all the way to Scotland, constructed by Finn during a feud with a fierce Scottish giant. Some claim that ‘Nature doesn’t work in straight lines,’ but those who do have never visited the Giant’s Causeway. This area boasts over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, mostly hexagonal, with up to eight sides. This breathtaking landscape appears as if crafted by a giant’s hand, yet it was naturally formed by the slow cooling of lava from an ancient eruption millions of years ago. Recognized as one of the top 100 geological heritage sites worldwide, it is a must-see for everyone.

• The Dark Hedges - Our third stop of the day, The Dark Hedges, attracts visitors from around the globe. Known as one of Ireland’s most iconic roads, this avenue leads to Gracehill House, built around 1775. James Stuart, who constructed the new home, also created the road and planted the beech trees that now form an atmospheric tunnel, filled with the creaking of branches and dappled light filtering through the canopy. The Dark Hedges can be a spooky experience, as they are said to be haunted by a mysterious ghost known as The Grey Lady. Made famous by their appearance in Game of Thrones as the King’s Road, they also featured in the 2017 movie Transformers: The Last Knight. Whether it’s Autobots, ghosts, King Robert Baratheon, or simply the chance to stroll down this beautiful avenue, The Dark Hedges offers something for everyone.

• Titanic Distillers At Thompson Dock - Situated beside the vast dry dock that once housed the Titanic Ocean Liner, this location inspired the name for Belfast’s first whiskey distillery since prohibition. The history of Thompson Dock, where the distillery is located, will be shared during your whiskey tour, from ships to whiskey! Learn about whiskey-making in Ireland and why this distillery is the first operational one in Belfast in over 90 years.

This award-winning distillery is here to stay, so be among those who can say, ‘I was there, I tried Titanic Whiskey, and I didn’t sink!’

This area has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and has played a pivotal role in many aspects of Irish history. Be sure to ask your guide for insights! You’ll be dropped off near Belfast City Hall, with time to grab some snacks for the journey home or perhaps enjoy a quick pint.
