Ride through the cathedral-like tunnel of ancient beech trees made famous by Game of Thrones, then trace the Causeway Coastal Route — ranked among the world's great scenic drives — in a private luxury vehicle with a local storyteller.
What to expect
Your private guide collects you from the pier and sets off south along hedgerows and coastal bluffs. The Dark Hedges — an 18th-century avenue of intertwined beeches — is ethereal in morning light, and your guide times the visit for genuine solitude. The return route hugs the Antrim coast: chalk-white cliffs, turquoise bays, and the sweeping views from Benbane Head. Every stop is on your terms.
Good to know
The Dark Hedges is approximately 40 minutes from Portrush. A full scenic loop with multiple stops takes 5–6 hours — confirm all-aboard time before booking. Pre-book your private guide 4–6 weeks ahead for summer. ToursByLocals allows you to message guides directly to tailor the route.
