What you will see on this Giant’s Causeway and Titanic Belfast tour including Dark Hedges and Belfast city

Considering the Titanic Museum in Belfast is one of the most expensive tourist attractions in Europe (almost £20 entrance fee…) and the Giant’s Causeway is the most-visited tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, we at Finn McCools Tours have decided to make an affordable day tour from Dublin that include both of these must-see attractions in Northern Ireland. And the entire package comes at a bargain price. These are must-see locations and we’re incredibly proud to offer such an impressive tour at such an affordable price. If you’re interested in these locations but you’re travelling from Belfast, check out our Titanic and Giant’s Causeway tour from Belfast.

0635 Start boarding the coach outside Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. We will, of course, stop for food and refreshments, but we encourage you to bring some snacks for the journey. Board our comfortable coach and get ready for this incredible day trip to Northern Ireland from Dublin.

0645 Leaving Parnell Square North, our highly trained guide will regale you with some amazing stories about Dublin, the surrounding countryside north of the city, and the Irish legends and myths that weave through our entire country. Learn about Ireland’s history as you make your way to the first stop of the day: Dunluce Castle.

Photo Stop at the Incredible Dunluce Castle

We need to make our way right to the north coast of Ireland on this tour, so this stop at Dunluce Castle is only for 5 or 10 minutes. Dunluce Castle is simply too impressive to pass without giving our guests a few minutes to take a few photos and appreciate perhaps the most photogenic castle ruins in Ireland! Dunluce Castle was built in 1513. There’s something incredible impressive about what remains of the structure as it sits atop the cliffs. If old castles interest you, you may also be interested in our Glendalough, Kilkenny, and Wicklow Mountains tour from Dublin as you will have the opportunity to explore the famous Kilkenny Castle.

Giant’s Causeway Tour – Around 1.5 hours

After Dunluce Castle, you will make your way to the Giant’s Causeway, often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world. You will have around 1.5 hours to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. By far the most visited tourist attraction in Northern Ireland, the Giant’s Causeway has more than earned its popularity. On this Giant’s Causeway tour from Dublin, you’ll learn all about this incredible geological enigma. It consists of 40,000 interlocking hexagonal basalt columns formed between 50 and 60 million years ago. Many locals believe in the mythical creation of the Giant’s Causeway by the Irish Giant Finn McCool, in an attempt to build a bridge to Scotland.

The Dark Hedges – Around 20 minutes

This 300-year-old lane of beech trees makes for a wonderful photo opportunity that will satisfy any amateur (or professional) photographer. Originally planted as a driveway to Gracehill House, this lane of trees still impresses people 300 years later. Considered the most photographed natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges feature in some famous films and TV series, such as Game of Thrones (they are part of King’s Road) and one of the Transformers movies.
