Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge Sea Safari

Boat Tour

What you will discover on your Carrick a Rede boat tour

.Departing from the Marina in charming seaside town of Ballycastle, your adventure starts with panoramic views of Rathlin Island and Fair Head rising behind you. Ballycastle has been a maritime hub for centuries and remains the gateway to some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Ireland.
on your Carrick a Rede Boat tour As we head west along the coast, you’ll experience towering cliffs, hidden caves, waterfalls, and historic landmarks — all best seen from the sea.

Highlights Along the Route


On your Private Carrick A Rede Boat Tour you will see Coastal Cliffs & Waterfalls
Just a short distance from Ballycastle, you’ll encounter rugged cliffs where waterfalls tumble directly into the sea after rain, creating a stunning and dramatic scene. These natural wonders offer a perfect setting for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Kinbane Castle (White Head)
One of the most captivating landmarks along the route is Kinbane Castle, whose name means “White Head” in Irish. Constructed in the 16th century by Colla MacDonnell, the castle perches boldly on a narrow limestone headland, surrounded by steep cliffs on three sides.
Viewing the castle from the water provides an unparalleled perspective of this historic fortress, revealing its significance in clan battles and coastal defense.

Raven’s Point & Giant’s Cut

As we journey westward, the coastline grows increasingly rugged and shaped by the relentless Atlantic.
You’ll encounter Raven’s Point and the striking rock formation called Giant’s Cut, sculpted over millennia by wind and waves.
This section of coast is a haven for seabirds including:
Guillemots
Razorbills
Fulmars
Kittiwakes
Seals are often seen resting on the rocks or swimming beside the boat.
Portnavey Viewpoint
As you pass beneath the towering cliffs of Portnavey, enjoy expansive views back toward Ballycastle and, on clear days, across to Rathlin Island. This area highlights the raw might of the North Atlantic and the layered geology of the Causeway Coast.
