Itinerary
Pass by: In the afternoon we return to Belfast City for a panoramic sightseeing tour. We will show you the highlights of this vibrant City, including City Hall, the River Lagan, Queens University, St Anne's cathedral and Prince Albert memorial Clock. After the panoramic tour, we will allow free time for more sightseeing and shopping if your departure time allows. PLEASE NOTE: If your ship is leaving earlier than normal we will have to alter the itinerary as necessary
We will stop for one of the most impressive photo opportunities in Ireland, the magnificent Dunluce Castle. Part of this impressive ruin crumbled into the sea in the 1600's. This castle is connected to the mainland by a bridge and was once the stronghold of the McDonnell clan. The backdrop of the ocean and North Coast make this a really dramatic photo stop!
We allow ample time at the Giant's Causeway to make your way down to visitthis famous World Heritage Site. It is a 20 minute walk from the Drop Off pointto the amazing Causeway site, but there is a shuttle bus that operates for asmall charge, ideal for those not comfortable walking up and down the steepgradient (hill) to the Causeway. The hexagonal basalt rocks really look likethey were man made and this leads the people in Ireland to believe they werecarved by Ireland's most famous Giant Warrior: the great Finn MacCoole.There is also a suggestion they may have been formed by Volcanic activity 60million years ago.Dunluce Castle: Photo Stop.

Traveler reviews
Giant’s Causeway
All you need to know is we had a wonderful time with a very knowledgeable driver and tour guide We felt we got great value for money. Saw more than we expected and found out lots of pieces of local information as we were travelling.
Small Group Tour Giants Causeway
Excellent tour of the countryside and of the Giants Causeway. This tour took us to the Causeway first to allow us to arrive before the many larger tour groups. The tour also took us through Belfast before returning to our cruise ship. Additionally, because we were a small group we had a very comfortable smaller coach/van that was far more maneuverable than the larger buses. This allowed us to go to places the buses couldn’t go. Also, the small group allowed our driver, Geoff/Jeff to personalize the trip towards our interest. He was very personable and friendly. I only wish there was a way to directly recommend his services.
It was very cool going to...
It was very cool going to the Giants Causeway. However the guide needs a stops that weren’t on the itinerary and talked quite a bit which we found to be a little bit boring.
A Perfect Day in North Ireland
Our perfect day in North Ireland. Our guide kept us away from crowds at Giant Causeway. He drove on beautiful Irish backroads so we could enjoy the countryside. Great stops!! A perfect day 😀
