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.
Explore Northern Ireland’s Most Famous Filming Locations
Northern Ireland became the home of many Game of Thrones scenes due to its rugged coastline, mysterious forests, and striking landscapes. Our tour takes you to a selection of the most iconic locations, with time to stop for photos, walk around, and relive your favourite moments from the show.
Each tour is fully private and customisable, so you can choose how long to spend at each location and add or remove stops depending on your interests.
The Dark Hedges
One of the most photographed locations in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges appeared in Season Two as the Kingsroad, where Arya Stark travelled in disguise. This hauntingly beautiful avenue of beech trees creates a magical atmosphere that draws visitors from all over the world.
You can stroll through the twisting, atmospheric tunnel of trees and enjoy plenty of time for photographs. The location feels almost otherworldly, making it a favourite stop for fans and photographers alike.
Ballintoy Harbour
Used as the setting for the Iron Islands, Ballintoy Harbour features in several key scenes, including Theon Greyjoy’s return to the Iron Islands and his meeting with Yara. The rugged coastline, steep cliffs, and small harbour area create the perfect backdrop for iconic moments from the show.
You will have the opportunity to walk along the harbour, explore the coastal path, and take in the natural beauty that made this location the chosen home of House Greyjoy.
Cushendun Caves
These ancient caves are where Melisandre gave birth to the shadow creature in one of the show’s most unforgettable scenes. Created over 400 million years, the caves provide a dramatic and atmospheric setting that feels straight out of a fantasy film.
The surrounding area is peaceful and scenic, making it an enjoyable stop even for those who are not familiar with the series.
Larrybane Quarry
Larrybane Quarry served as the location for Renly Baratheon’s camp and the dramatic scene where Brienne of Tarth defeats Ser Loras Tyrell. With sweeping views over the coast and Sheep Island, this stop offers dramatic scenery and excellent photo opportunities.
Your driver will explain its significance and give you time to explore the lookout points at your own pace.
Optional Stops You Can Add
Since this is a private tour, you can customise your itinerary by adding extra filming locations, including:
Murlough Bay
Used as the location where Theon rides with Yara and also where Davos encounters Salladhor Saan. It offers incredible views and quiet walking routes.
Tollymore Forest
While further inland, this woodland was used for multiple scenes, including the opening sequence of the very first episode and several scenes involving the Stark family.
Dunluce Castle
Although not a Game of Thrones filming location, this dramatic clifftop ruin is believed to have inspired some of the design elements for Pyke Castle and the Iron Islands. It fits perfectly into a Game of Thrones themed day.
Your driver can plan a route around the locations that interest you most.
A Scenic and Story Rich Journey
The Game of Thrones Tour is not only about reliving key scenes from the series. It also provides one of the most scenic drives in Northern Ireland, taking you along the spectacular Causeway Coast with its soaring cliffs, sandy beaches, and charming villages.
Along the way, your driver will share stories about the filming process, the impact the series had on local communities, and behind the scenes moments that bring each location to life.
If you want to combine your Game of Thrones Tour with a stop at the Giants Causeway, Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge, or Dunluce Castle, we can include these in your itinerary.
