After lunch (own expense), hop back in your vehicle for the drive to the Giant's Causeway, a fascinating rock formation created by an ancient volcanic eruption. Capture photographs of the rugged natural landmarks and absorb vistas of the naturally splendid area while your guide shares mythical stories inspired by the hexagonal rocks.
Next, make a stop in Belfast for free time to walk around and shop. Before the relaxing ride back to central Dublin you have the option to tour by taxi (own expense) with a local guide to explain the city's troubled political past during decades of conflict.
