About this activity

Operated by our 5 star sister company Elegant Irish Tours, the small group vans seat no more than 24 passengers and allow for a particularly intimate day on shore.

Your guide will collect you from Belfast Cruise Terminal and show you the highlights of Northern Ireland, such as the breathtaking Causeway Coast, Dunluce Castle and the capital Belfast, all in one day. Join a journey to the scenic north coast and visit the world famous Giant's Causeway. Finish the day with a panoramic tour of Belfast City.

GUEST ADVICE:

During peak- season (May 1st - September 30th) multiple cruise ships are expected at the major ports on a daily basis. This small group tour tends to sell- out well ahead of departure for most dates within this period. Accordingly, we recommend advance reservation where possible, to avoid disappointment.

Itinerary

Belfast City Centre

Passing by

In the afternoon we return to Belfast City for a panoramic sightseeing tour. We

Lagan, Queens University, St Anne's cathedral and Prince Albert memorial

Clock. After the panoramic tour, we will allow free time for more sightseeing

and shopping if your departure time allows. PLEASE NOTE: If your ship is

Dunluce Castle

10 min

We will stop for one of the most impressive photo opportunities in Ireland, the magnificent Dunluce Castle. Part of this impressive ruin crumbled into the sea in the 1600's. This castle is connected to the mainland by a bridge and was once the stronghold of the McDonnell clan. The backdrop of the ocean and North Coast make this a really dramatic photo stop!
Giant's Causeway

2 hours Admission included

We allow ample time at the Giant's Causeway to make your way down to visitthis famous World Heritage Site. It is a 20 minute walk from the Drop Off pointto the amazing Causeway site, but there is a shuttle bus that operates for asmall charge, ideal for those not comfortable walking up and down the steepgradient (hill) to the Causeway. The hexagonal basalt rocks really look likethey were man made and this leads the people in Ireland to believe they werecarved by Ireland's most famous Giant Warrior: the great Finn MacCoole.There is also a suggestion they may have been formed by Volcanic activity 60million years ago.Dunluce Castle: Photo Stop.
