The Giant's Causeway Tour

Carrick A Rede, Dunluce Castle, Bushmills, Causeway & Belfast

"We believe life is about great memories,
spend some time creating yours!"

Our one day tour transports you to the very northern point of Ireland and we show you the most breathtaking sights and scenery Northern Ireland has on offer.
In November 1986 the Giant's Causeway received major recognition when it was included on the World Heritage list making it Ireland's first World Heritage site. As you journey with us you will encounter sweeping beautiful beaches, rope bridge crossings and tranquil harbours and of course the majestic stones of giants. We include the price of the Rope Bridge in our tour! The only company to do this!

Join us for what will be a great day out!

"We will leave you with memories to take home
that one day will bring you back again!"

Legend has it that the Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner. One version of the legend tells that Fionn fell asleep before he got to Scotland. When he did not arrive, the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh laid a blanket over him so he could pretend that he was actually their baby son. When Benandonner saw the size of the 'infant', he assumed the alleged father, Fionn, must be gigantic indeed. Therefore, Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway in case he was followed by Fionn.

Join us on this fun filled journey to experience the very best Northern Ireland has to offer. Breath in the fresh northern air at the causeway and explore the many different shapes and rock formations that are surrounded in mystery and mythology.

Can you draw up the courage of a lion to cross the famous Carrick a rede rope bridge(Price included!) or Maybe a leisurely stroll along the beautiful sweeping beach looking out on Whitepark bay and Portbradden is more your idea of heaven. The North coast of County Antrim is shrouded in History and mythology and on your one day tour to the Giants causeway with us you can experience it all.
