Depart Dublin and travel North, stopping at a service station along the way for breakfast and to stretch your legs. From the 11th of April until the 1st of September, passengers can take a 5-minute photo stop at the ruins of Dunluce Castle. These castle ruins are famous for being the best castle ruins in Ireland to photograph. Making the average amateur photographer look like a professional.
Go to the Giant's Causeway, formed from about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Enjoy around 1.5 hours at the UNESCO World Heritage Site and get up close to the hexagonal columns, often referred to as the "8th Wonder of the World."
Then spend around 1 hour 20 minutes at Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and enjoy the view of Rathlin Island and over to Scotland. This rope bridge used to be the spot for fishermen to catch salmon.
Spend around 15-20 minutes to travel along the romantic avenue of intertwined beech trees known as "Dark Hedges." Planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family, they remain a beautiful sight and were even used in the HBO series, Game of Thrones and the Transformers movie.
Lastly, go to Belfast to see the capital of Northern Ireland and birthplace of the Titanic ocean liner. Stop next to Belfast City Hall and enjoy approximately 1 hour to explore the city. Do some sightseeing, shopping and grab some food before the return journey to your pick-up point between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM.
