Coasteering is one of the most adrenaline filled and fun activities for those looking for a bit of adventure. It’s a mash up of cliff jumping, bouldering, climbing, swimming and exploring. And where better to do this than in a place famous around the globe for its rock formations, the Causeway coast.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there’s no better way to view scenery than from the water. On a boat trip with Portrush Sea Tours, you will see birds, seals, porpoises and with a bit of luck dolphins and whales. Travel along the Causeway Coast, viewing the Skerries, Dunluce Castle, the Giant’s Causeway, White Park Bay, Ballintoy, Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge and then over to Rathlin Island for a cup of tea.

This stunning beach on the Causeway Coastal route on Antrim’s Coast makes for a perfect walk. It’s 1.2 km in length and runs from the pier at Ballycastle Marina at the western end to Pans Rock in the east. To finish off the walk, why not pop in the sea for a swim.

Todds Leap has every activity under the sun on offer, from off-road driving, clay pigeon shooting, paintball, body zorbing, freefall dropzone, to zip line. Harness yourself into a Giant Swing three at a time for the ultimate adrenaline rush. Release yourself at the top and swing backwards and forwards over the cliff edge. Then, how about a spot of blindfold driving, where you and your friends will take turns behind the wheel of a Land Rover Defender, blindfolded and attempt to guide one another around the off-road obstacle course.

The Causeway Coastal Route is up there with the Ring of Kerry as one of the best driving routes in the country. Winding its way around the Atlantic coast, it is dotted with beautiful sandy beaches, fishing villages, valleys and clifftop paths. It’s a must do!
