    Full description

    Discover the famous Giant's Causeway on a guided tour from Belfast. Visit the Dark Hedges, made famous in Game of Thrones, and admire the scenic views around Dunluce Castle.

    Depart Belfast and travel by coach to The Dark Hedges, a beautiful avenue of beech trees planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century as an impressive feature of the driveway to their Gracehill Manor. Continue to the Giant's Causeway to marvel at 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. Learn about the legend of Finn, said to have built the causeway to cross the Irish Sea to fight a Scottish giant known as Benandonner.

    Enjoy impressive views of Sheep Island and the Mull of Kintyre. Take around 2 hours to explore and look around. Stop for a picture at Dunluce Castle, a now-ruined medieval castle. Capture this photogenic castle built in the 13th century and hear how it has inspired many TV programs, poems, and songs.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the activity. Excellent and very knowledgeable guide. Only problem was we were a party of 6 being picked up in Belfast and the bus had come from Dublin. The bus was quite full already and we were unable to sit together. This might have been as the trip the previous day had been cancelled due to snow.

    Really good and interesting tour. The only thing that didn’t fulfill my expectationa was the Dunluce castle, cause I thought we would spend more time there and it was only a spot far away from it to take a picture. I was expectong to actually visit the castle.
