This spot is perfect for photos that capture the magic and mystery of the trees. Even though it is just a quick stop, it is memorable.

The final stop is the highlight of the tour is the Giant's Causeway. This natural wonder consists of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns stretching into the sea.
