Game of Thrones Tour
Step into the world of Westeros with our immersive Game of Thrones Tour, designed for fans who want to explore the iconic filming locations scattered across Northern Ireland’s breathtaking landscapes. From dramatic coastlines to ancient forests, this tour brings you to several of the most recognisable scenes from the global hit series, filmed right here along the Causeway Coast and beyond.
Whether you are a devoted fan or simply enjoy beautiful scenery, this tour offers a fascinating blend of cinematic history, storytelling, and unforgettable natural beauty. Your dedicated driver will guide you through each stop, explaining its connection to the show and sharing behind the scenes insights that make the experience even more memorable.
Private Game of Thrones Tour from Belfast
A full day covers six or seven filming locations along the Antrim coast, with proper time at each rather than fifteen minutes and back on the bus. Because the tour is private, you choose which locations matter to you and how long you stay.
Hotel or cruise terminal pickup, a Mercedes for your party alone, and a driver who knows both the show and the coastline.
The Dark Hedges
The Kingsroad from Season Two, where Arya escapes King’s Landing. A beech avenue planted in the 1770s and the most photographed spot in Northern Ireland.
Ballintoy Harbour
Lordsport in the Iron Islands, where Theon returns to Pyke. A working harbour down a steep lane, with a coastal path worth walking.
Cushendun Caves
Where Melisandre gives birth to the shadow. Sea caves formed around 400 million years ago, a short walk from the road.
Larrybane Quarry
Renly Baratheon’s camp, where Brienne defeats Ser Loras. Views over Sheep Island and the north coast.
Optional Stops You Can Add
Since this is a private tour, you can customise your itinerary by adding extra filming locations, including:
Carnlough Harbour
Where Arya climbs from the canal in Braavos.
Murlough Bay
Slaver’s Bay.
Dunseverick Castle
On the coast path.
Kinbane Castle
Reached down 140 steps and is almost always empty.
Tollymore Forest
The Haunted Forest from the opening scene, though it sits in County Down and usually needs its own day.
Dunluce Castle
It is not a filming location, but it is widely thought to have informed the design of Pyke, and it fits the route naturally. More on Dunluce Castle.
For the full picture of what was filmed where, see our guide to Game of Thrones filming locations in Northern Ireland.
A Scenic and Story Rich Journey
The Giant’s Causeway sits between Dunseverick and Ballintoy, so adding it costs almost no extra travelling. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is beside Larrybane. Most guests take at least one of the two.
Cruise passengers should look at our Belfast shore excursions, which cover what fits inside a port call. For other options, see our day tours across Northern Ireland.

Common Questions
How long is the tour? A full day is around eight hours from Belfast. Half days cover two or three locations.
Do we need tickets? Not for most. The Dark Hedges, Ballintoy, Cushendun, Larrybane and Dunseverick are all free. Carrick-a-Rede is ticketed and needs booking ahead.
Can you collect from a cruise ship? Yes. See the Belfast cruise port guide for timings.
Does it include the Studio Tour at Banbridge? The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is a separate ticketed attraction in County Down, not on the Antrim coast. We can take you there, though it does not combine with a coastal day.
Is there much walking? Some. Ballintoy and Cushendun involve short walks, and Kinbane a steep descent. Everything else is close to the parking, and we plan around mobility.
What about winter? The locations are open year-round and considerably quieter. Daylight is the constraint.
