About this tour
This seven-to-eight-hour private tour explores County Antrim's dramatic coastline and geological wonders. Your driver navigates you through the Glens of Antrim, stopping at Glenariff's cascading waterfalls, the hexagonal basalt columns of Giant's Causeway, and the vertiginous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge suspended 100 feet above Atlantic swells. The itinerary concludes with a whiskey tasting at Bushmills Distillery. Your vehicle is premium and climate-controlled; stops and timing remain flexible to suit your pace and interests.

What to expect
Expect a self-paced loop through some of Northern Ireland's most photographed landscapes. You'll drive through lush glens and stop at established viewpoints; the rope bridge crossing itself is exposed and swaying—exhilarating rather than dangerous, though queues can be substantial. Glenariff requires a short walk to the waterfall platform. The distillery tour (optional, paid separately) is indoors and relaxed. Your driver knows the route well and can suggest lesser-known pulls-offs. Weather changes rapidly here; bring layers and waterproofs.
Good to know
Entry fees to Giant's Causeway visitor centre, Carrick-a-Rede, Bushmills, and any castles are separate. Parking fees apply at major sites. The rope bridge can be extremely busy; viewing from the shore is an alternative. Not suitable for those with spinal conditions or serious heart concerns. Bottled water provided.
