You step off a coach onto windswept basalt as Atlantic spray dares you closer — the Giant’s Causeway stretches in a repeating, geometric shore of hexagons that feel engineered rather than born. Over five days this guided loop threads Belfast’s industrial docks, the fortified ring of Derry, the wild cliffs of Donegal and the quiet lochs around Glenveagh.
