Overview
Available languages
8 hours
Mobile ticket
Spend a memorable day visiting what is undoubtedly Northern Ireland's most infamous attraction. Travel by coach on a journey you will remember for a lifetime, taking in the spectacular natural beauty that is the Antrim Coastal Road, Carrickfergus Castle, Portaneevy Viewing Point to see the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (Due to National Trust Staffing Issues they will not accept any coach or group bookings at present but we will be stopping for photographs), the Giant's Causeway, and the Game of Thrones locations, including the Dark Hedges plus much much more. This tour travels the entire coast road from Belfast which is a must-see area of outstanding natural beauty. Not all tours to the Causeway include this but is widely known to be best route to the causeway. To leave this out of your tour would be a big loss!!

Excellent price

4.00Excellent value for the price. Lunch stop was ok, but a bit pricey Too long sitting on the bus and windows could have been cleaner in order to see better
A little disappointing

3.00This was worth it for the beautiful scenery and the Giant's causeway itself. However, for the rest of the tour there was little commentary and the audio system was bad so you couldn't really hear it anyway. I also felt that the itinery was misleading as the rope bridge stop was miles away and you could barely see it. There was very little time at Bushmills, really only time for the toilet and gift shop. The buffet lunch at the Dark Hedges was also heavily promoted but was very mediocre and expensive. I was also surprised that the 'luxury' coach didn't have a toilet. Not ideal for an all day trip, although there were a few toilet stops.
Outstanding guides!!

5.00We had an incredible experience hiking to the Cliffs of Moher with Philip and Connor! From start to finish, their knowledge, friendliness, and passion for the area made the hike truly unforgettable. They guided us safely through the trail while sharing fascinating insights about the local landscape, wildlife, and history. Both Philip and Connor struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making everyone feel comfortable and engaged. The views from the cliffs were breathtaking, and having such enthusiastic guides made the adventure even more special. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Cliffs of Moher with experts who genuinely care about your experience.
Good experience of coastal Northern Ireland

4.00Good driver but needs to make sure you can hear him. A chatty non english speaking group at rear of bus made it difficult to hear some commentary. Giants Causeway stop good. Need to take into account those not needing a large cooked lunch at midday stop.
Coastal day trip

5.00A wonderful day trip exploring the rugged coastline with good commentary and a bonus stop at bush mills distillery for a snifter
Very little narration - more bus service than tour
I3242OFmiket,Apr 12, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
2.00Our trip was delivered by Allens Tours. This was about 80% bus service and 20% tour. There was a couple of minutes of narration before each stop and that was it. Lots of time (hours!) driving without any narration, background or history, or even just saying what we were driving past. Not even any local music on the bus. Huge missed opportunity. The rope bridge is a joke. For sure it is open as we saw many people down there walking across it. Yes, we could see it from an overlook, but I'd hardly list it as a highlight. The Giants Causeway is awesome, but either find another tour company or get up there differently.
Season matters for dark...

3.00Season matters for dark hedges when the trees are bare, it’s underwhelming, and apparently the tour guide can make changes. We never made it to one of the attractions that was listed, which was the bridge. Instead, we stopped on the roadside by a Castle.
Great Tour

5.00Great experience. Got so much stop so it was worth the money and also the driver/tour person gave so much tips and advice.
Authentic landscape!

4.00A UNESCO-listed site that does not disappoint. The landscape: A unique geological formation on the waterfront. One can walk on the columns, which makes the tour very interactive. The atmosphere: Very wild, with the sound of waves crashing on rock prisms. Local Council Guide: Arrive early or late in the day to avoid tourist buses and enjoy the grazing light that highlights the geometry of the stones.
Beautiful trip
