This amazing day tour takes you from Dublin to a UNESCO Heritage site in the northern half of Ireland. You will take the 100 mile journey on the M1 straight up to the city of Belfast. You will be taking the coast road from Larne, until you reach Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. This coast road has been compared to the Great Ocean Road in Australia and California and you will see why. The minute you leave the port town of Larne, you arrive on a road built literally into the cliff-side around the rugged coastline of the north. You pass through little quaint villages and also pass the famous 9 Glens of Antrim, each of which will be explained to you by your driver in regards to what happened there, the terrible stories of some of them, and the funny stories of others.
