DAY 1: Sunday - Scenic Hike & Guided Belfast Tour

DAY 2: Monday - Giant&#;s Causeway Coastal Hike

Cameras at the ready! You'll wake up on one of the world’s most spectacular coastal drives, Antrim’s Causeway Coastal Route.

First stop, is the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Walk across the suspended bridge 100ft above the North Atlantic, first erected by local salmon fishermen over 250 years ago.

Next up, hike the Causeway Coast Way. The finale of this steep, often muddy trail, lies at the Giant's Causeway.

Experience the Giant's Causeway (Fee Included). Science tells us this World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago when magma cooled into 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns. But folklore says Finn McCool and his giant- fighting ways are to blame!

We’ll stop for a photo at clifftop Dunluce Castle before passing through historic gates to enter the city of Derry/Londonderry.
