Ballintoy Coasteering

Coasteering at Ballintoy – Our Flagship Location

Nestled between Bushmills and Ballycastle on the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, Ballintoy is a picturesque village brimming with charm. Despite its small size, it offers an abundance of shops, accommodations, as well as bars and restaurants. This location is undoubtedly one of our most breathtaking spots for coasteering, thanks to its diverse coastline, dramatic cliffs, and unique landscapes. Don’t forget the beautiful fishing harbour, tucked away at the base of Knocksaughey Hill, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and rugged coastlines.

Ballintoy is perhaps best known for the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which spans a staggering 100 feet above the sea and links the mainland to Carrick Island. For almost 350 years, it served as a vital route for salmon fishermen, and today, it attracts over 250,000 visitors annually as one of Northern Ireland’s top tourist attractions.

The stunning scenery here also made it the perfect backdrop for HBO’s Game of Thrones, with Ballintoy Harbour featuring as one of the show’s iconic filming locations.
