Day 3: Giant’s Causeway & Derry: This morning, leave Belfast for a drive along the Antrim Coast. This magnificent coast runs north from Larne and curves around the base of steep headlands, through which the beautiful glens of Antrim open to the sea. On the northern coast the Giant’s Causeway, a striking basalt rock formation, is truly awe-inspiring. After visiting the famous UNESCO site, continue through Portrush & Portstewart to arrive in Derry. Founded in the 6th century by St Columba, Derry is the second largest city and port of Northern Ireland. Derry has a heavy historical past and has suffered a lot through violence.

Day 5: Donegal to Mayo: Today, join the Wild Atlantic Way and enjoy the scenery of Ireland’s very own Surf Coast. You do not have to be a surfer to enjoy these breath-taking landscapes. For example, take the time to stop at Sliabh Liag, one of the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe, providing one of the finest views from the Wild Atlantic Way out across the wide expanse of the ocean. Continue towards county Mayo along the coast. Your next stop should be at Downpatrick Head.

Overnight: Mayo area.

Day 6: Connemara: This morning, travel to County Galway and visit Connemara. Connemara is a land of lakes, rivers, bogs and mountains. A land of small villages where Gaelic is still the spoken language and where little has seemingly changed since the beginning of time. It is without a doubt, the wildest and the most romantic part of Ireland. On its northern shore the land is harsher and more secret, with spectacular views of the Ocean and the beautiful fjord of Killary Harbour, Connemara is a real paradise for Nature lovers and those in search of strong emotions.
