The 15 Best Giant’s Causeway Day Trips from Belfast

38 reviewed

Forty thousand basalt columns, ninety minutes up the M2, and about a dozen ways to get there. These 15 Causeway day trips are compared on the things that actually differ: what time they leave Belfast, whether Carrick-a-Rede and Dunluce are included or extra, how long you get at the stones, and whether you are on a full-size coach or in a minibus that can stop for photographs.

“Overall the tour was great, we learned a lot and saw several beautiful sites. I was disappointed that we were not able to see Dunlace Castle. On the itinerary it listed that the last stop was Dunlace Castle. Our guide told me that was 15 min from the Giants Causeway where we were at, however since it was now getting dark earlier we would not be able to go there to take a few photos. In his words, “it’s not worth it just for a photo”. There should have been a disclaimer stating that in the winter months we would not be able to go to Dunlace Castle, or have…”

“This day trip was the highlight of our Belfast stay. The giants causeway was an amazing experience. The castles had lovely views, worth going into Carrickfergus castle, Dunluce has a free way down into a cave. Just about enough time in each of the castles, would have liked longer for Giants Causeway. The dark hedges were a nice sight and they served a lovely buffet. We also drove past other game of thrones filming locations. Our tour guide and driver Dave was amazing! He was so funny, knowledge and attentive. He was so interesting to listen to and made the journey quick and enjoyable.”
