Private Shore Excursions from Greencastle Cruise Port for Families and Small Groups
Jun 21, 2026
Arriving at Greencastle Cruise Port offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience some of Ireland’s most spectacular scenery and attractions, all within easy reach. For families and groups travelling together, private minibus shore excursions provide a far more relaxed and personal experience than crowded coach tours.

At Executive Travel NI, we specialise in private shore excursions for families and small groups arriving by cruise ship.
Our 16 and 19 seater executive minibuses allow guests to explore Northern Ireland and the Causeway Coast at their own pace, with itineraries designed around their interests and time ashore.
Unlike standard excursions, a private minibus tour means your group travels exclusively together. There are no large crowds, no waiting for dozens of passengers and no rigid schedules. Whether you’re travelling with extended family, friends or fellow cruise guests, you’ll enjoy the comfort and flexibility of your own dedicated vehicle and driver.

One of the most popular tours begins with the short crossing from Greencastle to Magilligan before joining the world-famous Causeway Coastal Route. Along the way, guests can visit Mussenden Temple, the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the picturesque seaside towns of Portrush and Portstewart.
Many visitors also choose to include a visit to Bushmills Distillery, enjoy lunch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or spend time exploring the historic walled city of Derry-Londonderry. Golf enthusiasts often request a visit to Royal Portrush Golf Club, while others simply prefer to enjoy the scenery and discover hidden gems away from the larger tour groups.

Private tours have become increasingly popular among cruise passengers because they offer something many travellers value most – freedom.
There is time to stop for photographs, enjoy local hospitality and experience Northern Ireland in a way that feels personal rather than rushed. Similar private and small-group excursions are increasingly being offered from Greencastle as demand grows.

At Executive Travel NI, we understand that your day ashore is precious. Our experienced drivers monitor cruise schedules and ensure every guest enjoys a memorable experience before returning comfortably and on time to their ship.

If your cruise is calling at Greencastle, discover the Causeway Coast and Northern Ireland in comfort with a private minibus shore excursion tailored exclusively for your family or group.
