THE DARK EDGES
If you've ever seen the hit show Game of Thrones, you might recognise the first stop on our list. Dark Hedges is a beech tree-lined avenue, and it doubled up as the Kingsroad in the hit TV show. Even if you're not a fan of the epic adaptation of George R.R. Martin's novels, you can't fail to be enchanted by the arcing tunnels beneath the trees.

GIANT’S CAUSEWAY
Just half an hour away from Dark Hedges, Giant's Causeway is home to around 40,000 basalt columns. Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place where culture and nature collide. From the natural formations of the Chimney Stacks to the incredible tale of Finn McCool, there's much to delve into here.

Things to Bring

- Camera

- Headphones to listen to the commentary on the multi-lingual app
- Charging cable and power bank to keep your devices charged (some buses do have charging ports but not all)

You’ll certainly need to be prepared for big changes in the weather — Ireland can cycle through all four seasons in the space of one day.

Smiles and Stories from Our Travelers
“Minibus transport with small group, friendly and enthusiastic guide who comments during the journey and plays traditional music. It would be nice to have a little more time at the Giant's Causeway, rather than in Belfast city.“
MARTIN
“My driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of history and even pointed out extra sites along the way. He was charming and witty and gave excellent recommendations for other things to do in Dublin and definitely enhanced the entire trip. At each stop he was punctual and told us how to make the best of each stop.“
CHRIS
