Excursión por la costa: Calzada del Gigante desde el puerto de Belfast
Descripción
El tiempo de realización es limitado y la importancia de llegar de vuelta al puerto de Belfast a tiempo para la salida. Nuestros tours salen más temprano y viajan directamente a la Calzada de los Gigantes evitando las multitudes y las colas. Esto da tiempo para ver la ciudad de Belfast junto con la Calzada de los Gigantes y hace un recorrido más relajado. El comentario de nuestro guía turístico local proporciona información privilegiada sobre la vida a lo largo de la costa de Antrim.

Itinerario
The Giants Causeway es un sitio del Patrimonio Mundial y se dice que fue creado como resultado de una Erupción Volcánica hace más de 60 millones de años. La leyenda dice que el Causeway fue construido por Finn Mc Cool, un gigante local que tenía más de 12 pies de altura.
Pararemos en esta pequeña y pintoresca ciudad costera durante aproximadamente 1 hora para almorzar. Donde hay muchas opciones para almorzar con pubs locales tradicionales que sirven comida tradicional irlandesa a precios razonables, o si prefiere un bocadillo y un paseo por la playa con su impresionante paisaje.
Haremos una parada para que pueda ver el castillo de Dunluce. Esta icónica ruina es testigo de una larga y tumultuosa historia. Construido por primera vez en los dramáticos acantilados costeros del norte del condado de Antrim por la familia MacQuillan alrededor de 1500, el primer registro escrito del castillo fue en 1513.
A nuestro regreso a Belfast, viajaremos a través de las nueve cañadas de Antrim y su guía le contará historias y folklore de estas cañadas increíbles y mágicas.

Visitaremos el mirador de Portaneevy con sus espectaculares vistas del puente de cuerda Carrick-A-Rede y la isla Rathlin, que está a solo seis millas de la costa en Ballycastle.
Cushendall una pequeña ciudad costera pintoresca al pie de la "montaña de la mesa, con su histórica Torre del Toque de Queda construida en 1817. Paramos para un descanso de 15 minutos de confort.

Tour guide Amanda and driver John were a great pair. I hope you get them if you book this tour. You need to!
The picture for the excursion shows the rope bridge but you are not near that when you are dropped off. You have about an hour at the causeway which is just about enough time to walk down, or take the bus, and look around at the beautiful rocks and coastline.
Hello Angela Thank you for your review Crossing the bridge is not on the itinerary as all tour buses have been denied access to the site from 2022 by the National Trust. You had 1 hour and 30 mins at the Causeway Regards
Bad guide a lot a of talking about herself no interessant information. All nice prescribed villages were stoppen at far out from the these village. Ended up obligated at a hotel for lunch instead of the prescribed pups in village. Not worth.
Hello Henri Thank you for your feedback Sorry to hear you do not rate Amanda as a tour guide To say we are shocked to hear someone thought Amanda was a bad guide is an understatement. Amanda has worked with us for 12 years and has never received a review below 4 stars. Amanda recieved 13& 5 star reviews from the same tour on both tripadvisor and Google reviews, have a look at our previous review from the same tour. Sorry to hear you were disappointed about the lunch. At peak season we have to avail of many different places to eat in Ballycastle that can cater for groups depending on availability at the time. Ballycastle is one of the larger towns on the North coast with a population of 4,600 and its attraction is being small and quaint. Regards
Our tour was through Odyssey Tours. Amanda (Guide) and John (Driver) were outstanding. I would recommend Odyssey Tours for seeing the Giants Causeway. We had visited the Giants Causeway two years ago as an excursion through the cruise ship we were on. With Odyssey we saw so much more including a trip through the the part of Belfast with the wall. It was very moving. We appreciated seing this side of Belfast. Thank you.
We headed to Dunluce castle firat for a quick picture stop, then to Giants Causeway. We had a good amount of time there and then stopped in a cute little town for lunch and then another picture stop at a bridge, then drove through some pretty places including the Atrium forest area, the red arch, by 3 caves, and then a driving tour around the outskirts of central Belfast. Ours was a little quicker on some.of the stops because our cruise ship was leaving at 4:30. They got us back to the boat a little after 3pm. The tour guide was great and had a lot of good information and was entertaining.
Excellent trip . Pick up from port in a small coach waiting for us as we disembarked . Brilliant trip, driver full of information. Missed all the other caoches Easy to book direct and it was 1/3 of the cost of P and O indentical trip .
The drive for this, the views, amazing! Your guide was wonderful, I appreciated him. Wished we had a little more time for lunch and wandering is all.
Wonderful tour. Amanda(tour guide) & John (driver)were awesome. Amanda was very knowledgeable, knows the history of the area well and very entertaining. John played Irish music about a rooster! That was delightful. Giant causeway was awesome! Shows you God's wonder, beauty of creation! We drove through the beautiful Irish countryside. Lots of sheeps, cows grazing on the green pasture, green meadows & rolling hills. What an awesome site to behold! I just wish we were able to cross the Carrick- a- rig ? bridge. Just saw it from a distance. They said tour buses were no longer allowed to get close to the site. Belfast was ok. I felt sad when Amanda was telling us the history of political/religious divide, that still manifest itself in the city. Overall this a wonderful excursion. They were on time. There was plenty of time back to the ship. The tour bus was very comfortable with restroom on board. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Money worth spent.
This tour was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Amanda was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and a pleasure to spend the day with. I highly recommend skipping the cruise ship excursion and booking this tour instead. We were picked up right at the dock and dropped back off on time after the tour. You will not regret booking your Giant’s Causeway tour with this company.
It was a wonderful excursion. Our driver Stephen was so knowledgeable and knew how to get us to the sight seeing before the tour buses arrived kudos for that!!!
