◾ Photo Stop at the Incredible Dunluce Castle
Dunluce Castle is simply too impressive to pass without giving our guests a few minutes to take a few photos and appreciate perhaps the most photogenic castle ruins in Ireland! Dunluce Castle was built in 1513. There’s something incredibly impressive about what remains of the structure as it sits atop the cliffs.

◾ Giant’s Causeway Tour – Around 1.5 hours
After Dunluce Castle, you will make your way to the Giant’s Causeway, often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world. You will have around 1.5 hours to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. By far the most visited tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway has more than earned its popularity.

On this Giants Causeway tour from Dublin, you’ll learn all about this incredible geological enigma. It consists of 40,000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns formed between 50 and 60 million years ago. Many locals believe in the mythical creation of the Giant’s Causeway by the Irish Giant Finn McCool, in an attempt to build a bridge to Scotland.

◾ The Dark Hedges – Around 20 minutes
This 300-year-old lane of beech trees makes for a wonderful photo opportunity that will satisfy any amateur (or professional) photographer. Originally planted as a driveway to Gracehill House, this lane of trees still impresses people 300 years later. Considered the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges feature in some famous films and TV series, such as Game of Thrones (they are part of King’s Road) and one of the Transformers movies.

Extending over nine interactive galleries, the Titanic Belfast will give you a new dimension to this state-of-the-art exhibition, making use of special effects, rides, and full-scale reconstructions. This is a museum not to be missed! The story of the Titanic is fascinating and a lot of time and money has been invested into making this museum an exceptional experience!

The Titanic Museum tells the story of Titanic from conception, construction to launch. And also of her ill-fated maiden voyage that cemented the Titanic’s place in history. Using innovative technology, film, archival materials, scale models and many more interactive displays, the Titanic Museum allows you to immerse yourself in the history of this iconic ship. The story of the Titanic will come alive on this 90-minute tour.

◾ Visit Belfast – At least 30 minutes
Over the last 20 years, since the end of the Troubles, Belfast has become one of the friendliest and most vibrant cities in Europe. Belfast has some of the trendiest bars and restaurants in the UK — especially in its particularly impressive Cathedral Quarter.

Now we will allow you to spend at least 30 minutes in Belfast’s city center. This is a nice break from sightseeing to give you a chance to recharge your batteries before the journey back to Dublin; it is also an opportunity to shop and grab a bite to eat before the drive back.

You will arrive in Dublin between 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
