Full Description
Experience one of Northern Ireland’s most popular day trips with a guided Giant’s Causeway tour from Belfast. Travelling in a comfortable private vehicle with a professional local guide, you’ll leave Belfast behind and head north towards the spectacular Causeway Coast.
The journey is as much a part of the experience as the destinations themselves. Follow sections of the famous Antrim Coast and take in sweeping sea views, rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and historic villages along the way. Your guide will share local history, stories and information about the landscapes you pass, giving you a deeper understanding of this fascinating part of Northern Ireland.
The main attraction is the Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland’s famous natural wonder and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take time to explore the distinctive basalt columns and surrounding coastline while learning more about the geology, history and legends associated with the site.
The tour also includes several memorable stops along the Causeway Coastal Route. See the atmospheric ruins of Dunluce Castle, admire the coastal scenery at White Park Bay and visit Carrick-a-Rede, where adventurous travellers can choose to cross the famous rope bridge for an additional fee.
Before returning to Belfast, the tour visits the Dark Hedges, the atmospheric avenue of beech trees made famous as a filming location for Game of Thrones.
