    Highly Recommend

    Stephen was an excellent guide providing interesting narration and good directions when he made our stops throughout the voyage. He was especially considerate and flexible with our short time onshore.

    Northern Ireland with Stephen is great!

    Stephen as guide adapted to our shorter time frame tour(Cruise Ship had all aboard at 3pm). We booked Giants Causeway tour. Stephen got ahead of bigger buses, so weren't held up by larger busses. With 15 passengers he could answer all questions. As we returned to Belfast, he was able to handle the difficult history of Belfast's civil war. He couldn't have handled it better.

    Disappointment!!!

    We booked this excursion months in advance, only to have it canceled two days before the scheduled date. After calling Viator support, we were rebooked on a similar excursion. However, that second excursion was also canceled the night before, leaving us with no time to find an alternative provider. As a result, of these back to back last minute cancellations, we missed out on the experience entirely. Very dissapointed and have lost full confidence in Viator

    Response from the operator: Hello Sorry we had to cancel your tour 5 days in advance We had hoped to get more than one booking and thought 5 days was a reasonable amount of time for you to find an alternative tour We did offer an alternative that departs from Belfast city centre which you refused. We also offered to arrange a private tour for you. We do not like cancelling a tour, but unfortunately on very rare occasions it is unavoidable. Regards

    Brandon was our Driver...

    Brandon was our Driver and Amanda was our guide. They did an excellent job and really enjoyed their tour of Giants Causeway and beautiful countryside as well as Belfast the city.

    An Outstanding Time in Northern Ireland

    Amanda was an amazing tour guide. She assisted us with each step of the excursion. I was impressed how she took the time to speak with each group on the bus. She wanted to know a little about each person and make it very personable. The excursion itself was organized and smooth. Amanda explained the history of Northern Ireland and folklore stories which added dimension to our tour spots. The bus was clean and well-maintained. Our bus driver, Ryan was experienced and provided a comfortable ride. Amanda gave advice for places to stop and enjoy local cuisine and recommendations for places to avoid. Overall I would highly recommend this excursion and Odyssey Tours to anyone visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland.

    Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port cost?

    +

    Prices start at $93 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 726 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port?

    +

    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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port?

    +

    Around 254 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port 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.
