About Our Giants Causeway Day Tour

Explore the world famous Antrim Coast and UNESCO listed Giants Causeway free from the crowds and the queues. Building on our success with cruise ship passengers we have now launched a similar Giants Causeway Tour.  Unlike any other operators, we deliver this tour the opposite way, firstly travelling inland, straight to the North Coast before most the other tours arrive. This allows us to spend more time at the Causeway site and enjoy the spectacular views with fewer people around.

Our tours are limited to small groups and offer a more personal experience.  It also ensures you can maximise your time at each attraction and spend less time waiting on stragglers returning to the coach.

With the smaller groups, we use smaller vehicles and believe it really makes a difference to your experience. Odyssey get you to places that many of the big coaches cannot access and with our expert guides we provide a more relaxed and entertaining tour.

Please note - we offer this tour in a Small Group coach. Click here to view details and pricing.
