Happiness Promise
There are hundreds of thousands of guides and tour operators around the world. Figuring out who to trust is stressful and hard.
That’s why we started 10Adventures Tours, we’re here to make it easy to find a great guide or tour operator. We handpick the best local guides and tour operators for 10Adventures, working to ensure you have great guides and a great trip.
We know it sucks to show up in a different country and find out the tents are junk, the guide incompetent or the route different from what we thought we were getting.
We want to give our users peace of mind that you’ll have a great trip and offer a guarantee that we will work with you to make it right.
How does this work?
Well, if you feel that something about your trip didn’t’ meet your expectations, let us know. We will then work to gather the details and figure out where things went wrong. If something indeed wasn’t as described, or went wrong with your trip, and the problem was within the control of either oursleves, the guide or the tour company, we will then work out a refund with you that’s proportional to the scale of the problem.
Obviously the best way to make a great trip is to tell your local guide or tour operator and give them the chance to fix the solution while you are on your trip. Most things can be solved by telling your guide when the issue develops. If that doesn’t solve it, then email us right away. Please don’t wait to voice your concerns until the trip is over, as it’s much harder to solve issues after the fact.
We work hard to make sure you have a great trip. If something isn’t right, please email hello@10adventures.co and we will get to work right away.

Explore Northern Ireland with the whole family on this exciting 7-day guided adventure
Take the first step towards a private travel experience, customized just for you.
About this tour:
The famous Causeway Coast has been inspiring stories and legends since time immemorial. From C.S. Lewis’ Narnia to the modern TV show Game of Thrones, this iconic Irish locale continues to capture the human imagination. Come take a family adventure in Northern Ireland and explore this area on foot, by kayak, and by boat.
This family-friendly adventure is designed for children 6 and older and you’ll get to explore the ancient Dunluce Castle, kayak along the stunning Causeway coastline, hike the Giant’s Causeway, explore an island hideaway, journey the Gobbins Path, and of course sample the local food, drink, and music.
After your arrival in Belfast, you’ll depart for the legendary land of Narnia! The ruins of Dunluce Castle gave C.S. Lewis his inspiration for the fictional Castle of Cair Paravel. Even more recently, the ruins provided the setting for Pyke and the Iron Isles on the TV series, Game of Thrones. Today you’ll get to explore the majestic clifftop ruins and learn the secret lore of the castle, from battles to sorcery to tales of ghosts that haunt there still.
Your first true Northern Ireland adventure begins today with a kayaking expedition down the Causeway Coast. Perfect for all members of your family, and tailored to match everyone’s ability, this all-day adventure will be unforgettable. Along the way, you’ll stop for a delicious picnic lunch in the heart of magnificent coastal scenery. Then it will be time to head to a local distillery for a special treat. There will be soft-drinks for the kids, while the adults get to enjoy a special whiskey-tasting.
Your hiking adventure will take you to the site of the massive basalt columns built long eons past by giants. Or so the story goes. Today the Giant’s Causeway is designated a World Heritage Site and your Causeway Coast adventure will take you on a hike along rocky cliffs to see this fascinating natural wonder. You’ll enjoy lunch overlooking the quaint little harbor you may recognize from Game of Thrones and then it’s off to board the boat for your Island Retreat.
You’ll rise to the salty smell of the sea, the sounds of waves crashing on rocky beaches, and the bark and keening of seals and birds. This is Rathlin Island. Steeped in history and legend, the craggy shores are home to the largest colony of seabirds in the North of Ireland. Here you’ll have a chance to do some serious bird watching. Keep an eye out for the local favorite: the puffin. Later you’ll get to see a strange “upside-down” lighthouse and explore a seaweed farm.
Prepare to hike the Gobbins Path! This is one of the most dramatic hikes in Europe and takes you along a small, winding path pressed into the side of a cliff. You’ll traverse stunning bridges with the crash of waves all around, journey through hidden undersea tunnels, hike up staircases carved into living rock, and slip through smugglers’ caves. This exciting adventure may be a bit too difficult for some family members, so they’ll have a chance to choose a gentler hike along the coast.
The Titanic was built in Belfast, and on this final day of your guided family adventure you’ll have the opportunity to visit the interactive visitor center honoring that legendary ship. The exhibits bring to life the sights and sounds of that time and place, while simultaneously weaving together the stories of the past. You’ll learn about the city and the people who brought about the construction of the largest ship of her time. At the end of your exploration, you’ll enjoy a high tea amidst the opulent decor of The Merchant Hotel.
Your tour will be over after breakfast and staff will bring you and your luggage back to the Belfast train station or airport.
Explore the ancient ruins of Dunluce Castle, inspiration for modern fantasy stories as well as legends and ghost tales of old.
Bask in the natural beauty of the Causeway Coast as you travel by kayak. Pause for a picnic on the shore before heading back to the quaint town of Bushmills for a whiskey tasting.
Trek along the Cliffside Gobbins Path, climbing stairs hewn from solid rock, crossing stunning bridges amid crashing waves.
