Ebike

Tour the Causeway Coast in style with our fleet of more than 20 eBikes, including the Nevo 3 or Load 75 eBikes! You’ll be able to find the best waves and explore the natural beauty of Causeway Coast from the historical Dunluce Castle and Bushmills Distillery to The Giants Causeway and Ballintoy harbour! eBikes will not only allow you to explore areas not previously possible but will allow you to travel further, faster and for longer, in the most fun way possible!
The NEVO: Super sporty. Super comfortable. Its distinctive design, coupled with its integrated battery and powerful drive, make the Nevo3 a real gem for everyday use. It impresses with its high level of riding comfort and pleasant handling thanks to its low step-through. Even longer outings are a piece of cake, thanks to the optional DualBattery boosting up to 1,125 Wh.
The Load 75: This is what freedom feels like. With its low centre of gravity, Riese & Müller Control Technology and a huge loading surface, the Load 75 combines riding dynamics and load options, like no other E-Cargo bike. The strong, latest-generation Bosch Performance CX motor delivers hitherto unknown power. And the Load 75 is also extremely reliable, thanks to its high-grade components.

Premium surf rental

Explore our range of 20 custom hand shaped surfboards, made right here on the North coast by co . Ranging from shortboards for advanced surfers to fishes, mid-lengths and longboards, we have something to suit everybody’s style and surfing ability.
The boards were specifically designed for the waves we find on the North coast, from the long peeling waves of Castlerock, Portstewart and West strand to the punchier fast waves of Whiterocks and Portballintrae. Advance your surfing with advanced equipment and guidance and explore new lines on the waves.

Half board

A buffet style breakfast is provided every morning at Port56, including coffee and tea. In the evenings you will be able to enjoy the Quays Bar & Gastropub (https://www.quaysgastropub.com/), located in the beautiful seaside town of Portrush on the North Coast. The cozy and inviting establishment offers a wide range of delicious food and drinks to suit every taste.
On the menu you will find a variety of pub classics, as well as fresh, locally-sourced seafood and seasonal specials. There’s an extensive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails to choose from, and the friendly staff are always on hand to help you find the perfect drink to pair with your meal.
In addition to the indoor dining area, there’s also a spacious covered outdoor Atrium where you can relax and enjoy the fresh sea air.

Giants causeway walking tour

The Giants Causeway is the home of Finn McCool, a local Giant who built the Causeway to Scotland. Enjoy your own private walking tour across the 40,000 basalt columns created by volcanic eruptions (but really by Finn!). The Giants Causeway is the only naturally created UNESCO World Heritage site on the island of Ireland and is considered by many to be the highlight of their journey along the famous Causeway Coastal Route.

Traditional Irish music night

Traditional Irish music (Trad) has been the life and soul of pubs across Ireland for 100’s of years. You will be immersed in a night of ‘mighty craic’ and local musicians play the Flute, Fiddle, Tin Whistle, Low Whistle, Uilleann Pipes, Accordion, Concertina, Bodhrán and Harp.
There is no better way to talk about a days surfing in the wild atlantic waves than beside a roaring pub fire, listening to some Trad sipping a pint of Guinness. Don’t forget the musicians are fond of a pint too so you can always show your appreciation by placing a fresh one on their table!

Bushmills whiskey tours and tasting

Talk to Surf Camp Northern Ireland’s team, mention whiskey and you will get only one reply – Bushmills! Bushmills whiskey is more than 400 years old and the oldest licensed distillery in the world.
You will tour the distillery learning about copper pot stills and the production process of their triple distilled whiskeys. This is also the home of Conor McGregors whiskey Power 12 as well as Sexton, the number 1 selling single Irish malt in the US
No tour is complete without the tasting session at the end, the perfect end to another amazing afternoon at Surf Camp Northern Ireland!
