I was leaning my craft from a very early age actively exploring local cliffs, bays, beaches, forests, glens and islands on offer nearby with my parents and younger siblings. Teenage years were spent doing the same with friends' and then venturing out onto the water, learning to surf and joining local sub aqua and sailing clubs; doing anything to get out into the elements. This keen interest in nature then resulted in studying Environmental Science, further developing my understanding of my amazing area's geology and landscape formation that I am a part of. Previous work history includes being a Wildlife Warden, a Ranger and a Visitor Experience Guide at both the Giant's Causeway and Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge. Add to this, years of experience volunteering with the R. N. L. I. as an Inshore Lifeboat Helmsman and a member of Ballycastle's Coastguard Search and Cliff Rescue Team. I have a love and passion for the Causeway Coast and Glens so I enrolled in a tour guiding course, bought a lovely luxurious vehicle, created a brand and have never looked back since. My tour business was set up to showcase to the rest of the world how beautiful our coastline is by going off the beaten-path to avoid the more crowded tourism hotspots. But, when Game of Thrones Season 6 was in the making, I had the good fortune of being selected to be a stand in actor on three episodes for the major characters of 'Hodor' and 'The Mountain', on 'Oathbreaker' and 'The Winds of Winter'. Visitors on my tours will hear the copious amounts of behind-the-scenes stories from my personal experience with the cast and crew. My House Stark XXXL member was a much loved character and I was involved in the actual scenes that led to his tragic and extremely sad end in 'The Door'. As a huge fan of the HBO Hit Series, I then developed my own specialist Game of Thrones Private Tour so he can bring fans to the actual locations and spots where the iconic cast and talented crew worked to create the masterpiece which has enchanted people around the globe. This tour allows visitors to immerse themselves in the stunning places which have made Northern Ireland the ideal filming location. More recently I featured on How To Train Your Dragon as a Viking sailor and warrior. During the tour your very own 'giant' will tell many behind the scenes stories and anecdotes from these shows and will bring you to places which can't be reached on large coach tours. Ballycastle is at the heart of the many filming locations. I have the valuable content for his tours which has seen visitors rate them 100% of reviews as five stars, scoring 'Excellent' on TripAdvisor and this is something I am extremely proud of. It's the authentic experiences that enables me to bring private small groups of dedicated Game of Thrones fans to see and stand on the exact locations which most visitors do not get to reach. I take many people on my tours as I am considered the go-to Game of Thrones tour guide by Tourism Northern Ireland to show off the area to journalists, bloggers and film crews who visit from around the world traveling to the real-world Westeros specifically to immerse themselves in this captivating experience which they then share with their audiences globally. Not only that but I also get to meet incredible Game of Thrones professional fans where I get to learn and share stories and information, but never spoilers! This is a must for any Game of Thrones® fans' bucket list so make sure and tick it off. Not only can you 'hang out with Hodor', but you will also have the chance to explore the North Coast of the north of Ireland with a local man who is passionate about his place.

Our tour couldn't have gone any better. Not only did we see all of the spectacular sites we planned on seeing but Flip also set us up on where to go over the next few days. A trip for a lifetime we will never forget:)

Flip and this tour were absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a better way to spend our day in Northern Ireland. We were very loose with what we wanted to see and do and Flip was easily able to adapt and tailor to our desires. He completely adjusted to our pace and overall expectations and gave us unique experiences that created amazing memories. He didn't mind taking us off the beaten path and exploring with us as we passed interesting places. We will not hesitate going on tour with him again and 10 out of 10 DEFINATELY recommend!
