Once your cruise vessel anchors in Belfast, you are welcome to partake in the expedited shore tour to Giants Causeway. The Excursion will conveniently collect you from the Belfast port, saving you approximately $15 on transport that would otherwise take you into Belfast city center.

The Causeway Express journey kicks off with some leisure time in Belfast City center, followed by a mural tour showcasing popular areas of conflict in Belfast. Subsequently, the bus will depart the city heading to the Dark Hedges (noted for its appearance in Game of Thrones), Busmills whiskey distillery, and ultimately, The Giants Causeway.

Please be aware that the duration of certain stops are predetermined, as such, the bus driver will set a time for everyone to return to the bus. This is done in order to maintain an efficient schedule and to ensure equal allocation of time at each location for all passengers.

Recommend Belfast tour for the day! - Did not know what to do in Belfast and our entire family group of 19 took this tour and we had a good time! Our guide, Ben, was not only very informative but also a had a great sense of humor that make this trip so enjoyable! My favorite part was the giants causeway and its spectacular views! Also the distillery stop to have few samples of the whiskey!

Trepsing through Belfast. - Our driver was knowledgeable and shared fun stories about Irish lore and local history including the troubles. The stops were wonderful and the tour guide gave us ample time to explore even though we were pressed for time due to it being a shore excursion.

Fantastic!! - Giants Causeway is a must see while you’re visiting. The photo ops are epic and it’s wonderful to climb around the stacks—it’s a very unique experience. There’s a little path next to the visitor center that goes up— even if you just walk a minute up that path, you’ll get a gorgeous view of the whole area.

Beautiful Countryside - Our tour guide Mark was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of notice before historical sites came up so we could take pictures. He also was very cognizant of our cruise ship all aboard time and kept us on schedule all day. The Giants Causeway was unbelievably beautiful, as was the entire drive on the coast road through the countryside.

Good trip despite the weather! - Tour guide Paul was entertaining throughout journey. Giants Causeway is a sight to behold. Wee tip- take own lunch if you don't wish to pay for it in restaurant/pub.

Did Not Need to be a 6 Hour Bus Tour - Overall the tour was good, but not great. I was disappointed with the city murals as I had hoped to get out and look at them and not just do a drive by. The Causeway is pretty spectacular and we were given ample time to check it all out, but the rope bridge was cancelled on us for some reason, so we spent 2 hours there at the Causeway and grabbed a bite to eat at the local pub - the only local pub. Food was good, but the place was PACKED! So keep that in mind... The Dark Hedges was actually very cool. Had no idea that was even a thing! And like some of the other reviews, the Bushmill (tour?) stop, was not worth it. Not sure why it is even on the intinerary.
