Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Experience the awe of the Giant’s Causeway, one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic natural landmarks. Formed by volcanic activity over 60 million years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features thousands of hexagonal basalt columns stretching into the sea — a striking example of geology and legend intertwined.

Guests will have time to explore the site at their own pace, walk along the cliff paths, and capture stunning views of the Antrim coastline. Access to the stones is free and open, with the option to visit the nearby Visitor Centre for exhibits, guided audio, and local folklore.

Whether you're here for the science or the stories of giants, the Giant’s Causeway is a memorable highlight of the day.

Get up close with some of nature’s most skilled hunters at this engaging falconry stop. Guests will meet a range of birds of prey — from hawks and falcons to owls and eagles — and learn about their behavior, training, and role in Irish heritage.

A professional falconer offers live demonstrations and insight into the ancient art of falconry. Depending on the time and setup, guests may have the chance to handle a bird and see it fly from glove to perch in a controlled setting.

This stop blends wildlife education with unforgettable photo moments, making it a standout feature of the day.

Stop 3

Step into rural Irish life with a visit to a traditional working sheep farm. Set against scenic countryside, this stop offers a firsthand look at sheep farming in action — from seasonal tasks to the skill of sheepdog handling.

Guests will watch an expert demonstration as a trained border collie responds to voice and whistle commands, guiding the flock across the fields. There's often a chance to meet the animals up close and hear directly from the farmer about life on the land, local traditions, and sustainable practices.

It’s a relaxed, authentic experience that connects visitors with the rhythms of rural Ireland.
