    What you'll see and do

Begin the journey in the company of your 100% Irish guide and your fellow travel partners for today, we'll get to know each other and have our charming guide set the scene as we take the drive through the rolling farmland of county Antrim to the North Coast of Ireland - an area of outstanding natural beauty.

    2. The Dark Hedges

      We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!

      20 minutes here

    3. Causeway Coastal Route

      We make our way to the Causeway Coast where we can see fine views of Rathlin Island, and on a clear day we may even see the Scottish coast 13 miles away. The views along this coastline are spectacular, no wonder it is one of the most visited destinations in Europe!

      Pass by without stopping

    4. Giant's Causeway

      The Giant's Causeway is the highlight of this trip for most! Built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus, it is a real masterpiece formed of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns. Your tour guide shall tell you more about the Causeway, and the legends of the area. The entrance fee for the visitor centre is not included as the UNESCO World Heritage Site is actually completely free of charge to the public. Based on years of guest feedback our guests prefer to have the best possible value price for the overall tour and then can make individual decisions locally as to whether they wish to access the adjacent visitor centre for a fee at the door.

      90 minutes here

    5. Dunluce Castle

      We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world for a 1 hour stop, prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Part of the Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600's, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by the unfortunate servants. Take some impressive photos before we leave the coast and make our way to Belfast.

      30 minutes here

    6. Arrive back in Belfast safe and well around 05:00pm in downtown Belfast, your thirst for knowledge quenched and of course you can now say to all your friends that the top attractions in Northern Ireland are now crossed off your list!

    Brilliant trip to Giant's Causeway

    Excellent trip. Would def recommend. Shane our tour guide was brilliant. He was so engaging, friendly and informative. Really interested in his job like he was happy to be there. Bus picked us up on time. Excellent tour. Enough toilet stops! Will def book this company again for other trips.

    It was worth the bus...

    It was worth the bus trip! Plus, the best grilled ham & cheese of my life (that I will try and fail to recreate).

    An interesting tour with a bit over the top driver/tour guide….

    The sights were pretty but the driver/tour guide was somewhat crass in what he said and drove recklessly apparently for a laugh (e.g. slammed on the brakes for no reason, purposely drove directly at a car pulled over to the side of the road, and repeatedly honked the horn for the express purpose of scaring grazing sheep). My wife and I did not find any of this particularly funny. That aside, he did not do a good job of letting us know what/when we would be seeing the sights.

    Tour cancelled an hour after start time.

    Turned up early for the tour. The bus was ‘late’. All the people waiting were ringing the operator. Different excuses every time . Eventually, an hour later they cancelled the tour. Which meant it was impossible to rearrange. And we lost an hour to start looking at other options. All they were interested in was refunding. Do not use them. We ended up going by public transport to giants causeway. But a couple of hours later than we could have done.

    Fantastic PADDYWAGON experience!!

    Fantastic experience, worth the price. Gerry the guide was wonderful. Each stop was timed with a place where to meet. Gerrys talk was informative with humour where needed. He helped with what parts of the tour where disability friendly. 100% Reccomend any of their tours. The coach was comfortable with enough room for wide set hips.

    Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.

    How much does Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belfast usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belfast is not rushed.

    Is Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 173 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast?

    +

    Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belfast can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belfast and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Giant's Causeway Full Day Tour from Belfast start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belfast within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Belfast?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Belfast experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A History of Terror - Belfast City Centre Walking Tour, Belfast Black Taxi Tour: Private Journey Through History, Belfast's Political Mural Taxi Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Belfast?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Belfast?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
