Giant's Causeway & Belfast City: Day Tour with Admission to Attractions

Full-Day Tour
  • Dublin
  • Ireland

Explore the biggest draws of Northern Ireland on this premium, fully-loaded day trip from Dublin. Traveling in a luxury, air-conditioned coach equipped with free Wi-Fi, your 13-hour adventure begins in the historic capital of Belfast. Here, you have the incredible flexibility to customize your tour: choose between a deeply moving Black Taxi Tour through the mural-decorated streets of the Falls and Shankill neighborhoods to learn about the city's political history, OR enjoy full entrance to the world-class Titanic Belfast Experience to explore the tragic story of the famous ocean liner built right in the local docks.

Following your Belfast adventure, you will journey along the spectacular Antrim Coast to experience one of Ireland's great geological marvels: the UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway. Explore the 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns at your own pace or join an included walking tour. The grand finale of your day trip features full admission into the medieval ruins of Dunluce Castle. Perched precariously on a dramatic cliff edge, this spectacular site (famously featured as House Greyjoy in Game of Thrones) offers unrivaled coastal views and excellent photo opportunities before you return to Dublin.
