Most visitors arrive on a day tour from Belfast, and the competition keeps prices low. Tours differ mainly in route (inland motorway or the slower Antrim coast road), in coach size, and in which extras they include — the rope bridge and distillery are usually optional and paid separately. Few tours start on the coast itself.

Booking notes
- Prices are in pounds sterling; euro figures are indicative.
- Carrick-a-Rede is rarely included in the tour price. Crossing needs a timed National Trust ticket, which can sell out; the bridge closes in high winds.
- Visitor-centre admission at the Causeway is included on some tours. Walking to the stones is free in any case.
- The Dark Hedges are closed to traffic; tours park nearby and you walk. Storms have felled a number of the trees in recent years.
- Game of Thrones Studio Tour is a separate attraction at Banbridge, south of Belfast.
