Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, & Belfast Tour
The tour departs from Parnell Square North, heading north into Northern Ireland, reaching the island's tip near Scottish soil.
It begins with a photo stop at Dunluce Castle, a medieval ruin from the 13th century, located in a rugged area with steep drops. Remember your cameras.
Next, the tour goes to Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the '8th wonder of the world.' While volcanic activity explains the unique stone pillars, local legend attributes their creation to the Irish Giant Finn McCool. You will have 2 hours to take photos and admire the Causeway, with some pillars rising 40 feet (12 meters).
The tour then visits the Dark Hedges, a passage of beech trees planted 350 years ago, where you can stretch your legs and take photos for 30 minutes. Fans of Game of Thrones may recognize this location from the series.
On the return to Dublin, we will stop in Belfast for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Here, you can take pictures of City Hall, explore shopping streets, and possibly enjoy food at notable spots like the Crown Bar or the Big Fish.
The tour returns to Dublin between 7:30 pm and 8:30 pm.
