Giants Causeway and the Best of Northern Ireland from Belfast

This full-day tour takes you along the dramatic Antrim Coast to Northern Ireland's most striking natural and historic landmarks. You'll explore the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site formed from 40,000 interlocking basalt columns created by ancient volcanic eruptions. The hexagonal rock formations have inspired legends of feuding giants and stepping stones across the Irish Sea.

Along the coastal route, you'll stop at the 13th-century ruins of Dunluce Castle, perched on cliff edges with sweeping ocean views. The Dark Hedges offers a 10-15 minute photo opportunity among beech trees planted 270 years ago by the Stuart family as a driveway to Gracehill Manor. The route passes through coastal towns like Ballycastle, where you can spot Sheep Island, Rathlin Island, and on clear days, the Scottish coastline across the water.

You'll have approximately 1.5 hours to explore the Giant's Causeway and its surrounding landscapes. This tour from Belfast visits multiple locations in one day, combining natural wonders with filming locations and medieval ruins along one of the UK's most scenic coastal drives.

You'll depart Belfast and travel along the coastal route with your first stop at Dunluce Castle, where you'll have time to photograph the dramatic clifftop ruins. The journey continues to the Giant's Causeway, where you'll have approximately 1.5 hours to walk among the unique hexagonal basalt columns and explore the coastal paths around this geological wonder.

After the Giant's Causeway, you'll stop for 10-15 minutes at the Dark Hedges to walk beneath the intertwining beech trees. The return journey follows the scenic coastal road through Ballycastle and other seaside towns, offering views of offshore islands and the distant Scottish coast before arriving back in Belfast. The order of stops may vary depending on conditions.
