Overview

Make the most of your day ashore in Belfast with a private shore excursion to the Giant's Causeway and the Dark Hedges — designed for cruise passengers who want to experience Northern Ireland's most famous sights in the time available.

Your personal driver-guide will meet and greet you at the Belfast Cruise Terminal and have you back on board in good time for your departure. In between, you travel the spectacular North Antrim Coast at your own pace: visit the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway, walk the atmospheric Dark Hedges made famous by Game of Thrones, and enjoy photo stops wherever the view takes you.

Because the tour is private and exclusively for your group, you control the day. Linger longer at the places you love, skip what you do not need, and simply tell your guide if there is somewhere special you would like to include — we will arrange it for you.
