Visit Northern Ireland - Day trips from Belfast and Dublin

Embark on a day tour from Belfast or Dublin and discover some of the highlights of Northern Ireland.

See the Giant's Causeway, comprising about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Get up close to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, often referred to as the 8th Wonder of the World. Learn from experienced guides how the Causeway was formed by the mythical giant, Finn McCool.

Stop at the Dark Hedges, a centuries-old lane of beech trees that have been featured in films and on television in series such as Games of Thrones.

Whilst you're at it, some of the tours go to Carrickfergus, a picturesque seaside town with an incredible castle with rather super views.

And when you're in Belfast, be sure to look at trips that include the Titanic Museum and learn the story of the Titanic ocean liner and her ill-fated maiden voyage. The story comes alive with innovative technology, scale models, and more.

To make the most of a day trip around Northern Ireland, particularly when visiting the coast, you should bring comfortable shoes, a camera, a sightseeing map, and wet weather gear, as the weather in this part of the UK can be unpredictable.
