3 Day Northern Ireland
Explore
The Journey Overview
Northern Ireland is a region shaped by resilience, rebirth, and breathtaking beauty. Once defined by political unrest, today it welcomes visitors with open arms and an unforgettable mix of dramatic landscapes, legendary folklore, and rich cultural experiences. This exclusive 3-day tour with Elegant Irish Tours invites you to explore the North’s greatest treasures — from Belfast to the Giant’s Causeway to the walled city of Derry — all in the comfort of a luxury vehicle with your own expert chauffeur-guide.
What Your Day with Us Looks Like
This curated itinerary takes you on an inspiring journey through a region where history, heritage, and natural wonder collide. From the political murals of Belfast to the rope bridge at Ballintoy, from the mysterious basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway to the poetic lands of W.B. Yeats — Northern Ireland is a story waiting to be told, and you’ll hear it from the heart.
Day 1: Dublin – Monasterboice – Belfast
Depart Dublin and begin your journey north with a stop at the ancient monastic site of Monasterboice. Here, you’ll discover some of Ireland’s finest Celtic high crosses and a beautifully preserved round tower, surrounded by peaceful countryside.
Continue onward to the bustling capital of Northern Ireland – Belfast. Rich in history and character, Belfast offers a blend of old and new. We highly recommend a Black Taxi Tour, where local guides give you a moving and insightful journey through the city’s turbulent past and its remarkable transformation. Explore key sites like the Peace Wall, Shankill and Falls Roads, and learn how the people of Belfast have built a thriving modern city from a complex history.
Afterward, enjoy some leisure time to explore attractions like City Hall, the Titanic Quarter, the Botanic Gardens, or the lively University Quarter. Spend your evening in Belfast indulging in traditional cuisine, live music, and the city’s warm, welcoming nightlife.
Day 2: Belfast – Carrick-a-Rede – Giant’s Causeway – Dunluce Castle – Derry – Letterkenny
Your second day begins with a leisurely start before venturing along the legendary Causeway Coastal Route, passing through the spectacular Glens of Antrim. With stunning sea views (and often a glimpse of Scotland in the distance), your first stop is Ballintoy, home to the daring Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Cross if you dare — or simply enjoy the breathtaking views of the wild Atlantic coastline.
Next, arrive at the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and geological wonder. Whether you believe in ancient volcanic activity or the legend of the giant Finn McCool, these perfectly hexagonal basalt columns are a mesmerizing sight. Explore the site at your own pace and visit the interactive Visitor Centre, home to local crafts and exhibitions.
Before leaving the coast, enjoy a photo stop at the windswept ruins of Dunluce Castle — a once-grand fortress perched dramatically on a cliff’s edge and steeped in ghostly legends.
Your day ends in the historic city of Derry (also known as Londonderry), where centuries of stories are etched into the city’s famous walls. Tonight’s accommodation will be in nearby Letterkenny, where cozy pubs, warm Irish hospitality, and delicious local fare await.
Day 3: Derry – Creevykeel – Drumcliff – Strandhill – Galway – Dublin
After breakfast, enjoy a guided walking tour of Derry, led by a local expert who will guide you through the city’s layered history — from ancient origins to modern struggles and triumphs. Visit the Peace Bridge, the city’s 17th-century walls, and hear moving stories of events like Bloody Sunday — memorialized in U2’s haunting anthem “Sunday, Bloody Sunday.”
Departing Derry, journey south to Creevykeel Court Tomb, an exceptionally well-preserved megalithic monument offering insight into Ireland’s ancient pagan past. Then, follow the trail of one of Ireland’s most beloved poets — W.B. Yeats — as you visit Drumcliff Abbey, his final resting place nestled beneath the shadow of Benbulben Mountain.
Take a break at the coastal gem of Strandhill, where surfers ride the Atlantic swells and you can stroll along the beach with the sea breeze in your hair.
The final stretch of your journey takes you to Galway, a city known for its artistic soul, medieval streets, and vibrant food scene. Enjoy free time to explore its charming lanes, listen to buskers, or enjoy a last delicious seafood meal before your luxury chauffeur transfer returns you to Dublin.
