One of the most visited places in Northern Ireland - a rope bridge suspended high above the sea, linking the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede. Crossing is optional and requires a pre-booked ticket; if you prefer not to cross, there are stunning views from the cliff-top path. It is roughly a 1-mile walk from the car park, and crossings can occasionally close due to weather. Let us know in advance if you wish to cross and we will help arrange your ticket.

One of the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges were used as a set for the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It was the famous King’s Road in Season 2.

Stunning adventure & excellent company
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to these iconic locations! Michael was our driver/guide & he was so fun and charming. We had beautiful weather and this adventure is worth your time! The Giant's Causeway was a highlight & we spent alot of time at Bushmills. Stunning views! The customer service & communication is top notch going directly through Belfast Tours NI.
Response from the operator: Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for this wonderful review, and for travelling with us. I’m so glad you had such a beautiful day on the coast, and with the sunshine too, which always makes the Causeway even more special. Michael will be delighted to read your kind words. He loves sharing the North Coast with our guests, and it’s lovely to hear his fun and charm made your day. It was a real pleasure looking after you from your first email to the end of your tour. I hope to welcome you back to Northern Ireland one day. Warm regards, Murat Yilmaz Belfast Tours NI

A wonderful day tour of Belfast
My family of 7 with young kids booked a private full day tour of Belfast with Murat at Belfast Tours NI, and the whole experience was truly exceptional. Our cruise ship had unexpectedly updated our itinerary to arrive in Belfast, Ireland due to inclement weather and I was able to conveniently and easily complete my booking online with Murat within a day and a half of our arrival. My experience with his prompt and clear communication turned a stressful change of plans into the highlight of our entire trip. From the very first moment, Murat was engaging, incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to keep us comfortable and perfectly on schedule. He has a deep, passionate knowledge of Belfast’s history and all the attractions we visited. He arrived early to pick us up, communicated well, kept us apprised of where we were going to next, never rushed us, ensured we had ample time to walk through, explore, and really absorb the stories of locations we stopped at such as Antrim Coast, Bushmill village, Giant's Causeway, Dunluc castle, and the Dark Hedges. What truly sets Murat apart, however, is his incredible thoughtfulness, preparedness, and service that exceeded expectations. Early in the tour, my son began suffering from severe motion sickness that had carried over from our cruise ship. Before we could even panic, Murat calmly stepped in. He was unbelievably patient and perfectly prepared, immediately providing towels, wet wipes, and cold water from his van to help us clean up and get my son comfortable. He completely turned what could have been a disaster into a manageable, reassuring moment.On top of being a lifesaver, he is a total natural with children and very sweet. Our kids absolutely adored his fun, cool, and warm personality. In fact, my 4-year-old daughter insisted on constantly holding "Uncle Murat's" hand throughout the day! I could also tell by his interactions with the other locals that he has a genuine loving personality. By the afternoon, it truly felt like we were being shown around town by a close relative rather than a tour guide. It was a memorable day filled with good conversation and amazing sights. We truly enjoyed our day in Belfast with its welcoming people and beautiful scenery. If you have the opportunity to visit Belfast, I highly recommend you book with Belfast Tours NI for a wonderful experience! Murat is the best!
Response from the operator: Dear Frances, Thank you so much for this beautiful review. Reading it brought back such happy memories of our day together. I know how stressful it is when a cruise changes its plans at the last minute, so I am really glad we could turn it into the highlight of your trip. Spending the day along the Causeway Coast with you and your wonderful family was a real joy, and it never felt like work for a moment. Your children were an absolute delight. I’m so glad your son was feeling better and could enjoy the rest of the day, and please tell your little girl that Uncle Murat misses holding her hand on our walks. Thank you for your kind words and your trust. You will always have a friend here in Northern Ireland, and I hope to welcome you all back one day. Warm regards, Murat Yilmaz Belfast Tours NI

One great day in Northern Ireland
Murat was exceptional. We quickly developed a great casual connection that made our day enjoyable. His knowledge was factual avoiding opinions regarding past events in Northern Ireland. We highly recommend him.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the very kind words, and for recommending us. It was an easy day to enjoy, and that connection made it a pleasure from start to finish. Northern Ireland's history deserves to be told fairly, and I am glad that came across. You would be very welcome back any time. Murat Belfast Tours NI

Giants Causeway tour
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Belfast Tours NI. Our guide, Murat Yilmaz, made our private Giant's Causeway tour unforgettable. From the moment he picked us up until he dropped us off 8 hours later, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. Travelling with two young boys can be challenging, but Murat was amazing with them. He kept them engaged, made the journey fun, and was so patient and kind throughout the entire day. His knowledge of Northern Ireland's history, culture, and the stunning locations along the coast made every stop interesting and memorable. Nothing felt rushed, and Murat made sure we got the most out of every stop while tailoring the day to our family's pace. If you're looking for a private tour of the Giant's Causeway or Northern Ireland, I couldn't recommend Belfast Tours NI and Murat highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip and worth every penny. Five stars!
Response from the operator: Hi Alana, Thank you for such a wonderful review — it truly made our day. I am delighted the Giant's Causeway tour lived up to what you hoped for. Travelling with young children can be a lot, so it means a great deal to hear the boys enjoyed the day as much as you did. They were a pleasure to have along. Keeping the pace relaxed and tailoring the day around your family is exactly how a private tour should work, so I am glad nothing felt rushed and you had time to enjoy every stop properly. Thank you for choosing Belfast Tours NI, and for such a generous recommendation. You would all be very welcome back in Northern Ireland any time. Warm regards, Murat Yilmaz

Great day in Belfast
We had a great day touring with Murat. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He adapted the tour based on feedback from the group on stops we wanted to make. I would highly recommend him for a single or multi day tour.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for such a kind review — it is a pleasure to read. I am delighted you enjoyed the day. Shaping the stops around what the group actually wants to see is one of the real advantages of a private tour, so I am glad that came through. Your recommendation for both single and multi-day tours means a great deal to us. Thank you for travelling with Belfast Tours NI. You would be very welcome back any time. Warm regards, Murat Yilmaz

Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast cost?
+
Prices start at $953 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 Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges Tour From Belfast?
+
Around 16 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giants Causeway, Rope Bridge & Dark Hedges 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.

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.
