The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk among 40,000 interlocking basalt columns — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — on a fully private, expert-guided tour with luxury transport. One of nature's most theatrical stages, up close and at your own pace.
Explore the wind-lashed ruins of Dunluce Castle — a medieval Irish fortress perched impossibly on a basalt sea-stack above crashing waves. One of Ireland's most dramatic historic sites, brought alive by an expert local guide.
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.
Cross a swaying rope bridge 30 metres above the churning Atlantic to a tiny sea-stack island — one of the most exhilarating short walks in the British Isles, set within a National Trust nature reserve of jaw-dropping coastal scenery.
Stand beside the iconic 18th-century Mussenden Temple, poised alone on a 120-ft cliff above a 7-mile golden strand — one of Ireland's most photographed and genuinely awe-inspiring landscapes. A National Trust gem almost always missed by passing visitors.
Tee off on the Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush — host of The 153rd Open Championship (2025) and ranked among the top 5 courses in the world. A once-in-a-lifetime round on Irish links turf, with the Atlantic as your backdrop.
