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.

We felt rushed through whole experience. Driver friendly talked to fast to get it all. Drives abit to fast also trying to beat time even. though back early.
Picture shows travelers crossing the rope bridge. This hasn't been allowed since 2020 but still using this photo to get you to book the trip. You don't get any where near it and get photos from nearby cliffs. Despite their assurances that there is a bathroom on board there is not. The tour of the giants causeway is self guided. The bus does not enter the official parking area to save money and your ti get does not include admission to tourist center. Our guide was able to point out all the local bathrooms along the way. He was very knowledgeable with stories of history of the areas we were driving through. Because the cruise ship cut our time short we were unable to enjoy lunch in town. I really expected more stops instead of a drive to and from with narrative. You would be better taking taxi to rope bridge so you could actually cross it and then to the causeway.
The Giant’s Causeway was the primary stop and it was wonderful. The lunch was very good at a restaurant with very nice views. It was not clear that we would drive by, and not stop, at any other significant places. The rest of the trip was driving through one section of Belfast where there are murals of the “Troubles.” The narrative was the politics of the time, the driver showing a picture of some horrendous violence that occurred, adding a distinct personal political slant.
Paddy our tour guide was full of stories and history. He and the driver effortlessly guided us through this day of the beautiful countryside. The Giants Causeway is amazing! We saw the Carrick A Rede rope bridge from a view point. The setting is gorgeous! Lunch was on our own, O'Conners was efficient and delicious! My husband loved the seafood chowder. We drove past the Peace Walls in Belfast. We saw so much on this excursion . It is a good combination of country and city.
Tour guide was great. Pick up at the port was easy. You don’t get close to the walking bridge it’s a long ways away for a photo no way to cross the bridge. Still beautiful . Causeway was cool but thought the area was going to be bigger. The lunch was great. The bus ride was great.
The way the Causeyway is put together, the stones and geology are unreal and amazing; Nature made that!?! The entire experience was through one of the quaintest and most beautiful parts of Nothern Ireland. I appreciated our guide's sense of humor, depth of knowledge, and general enthusiasm. I appreciated his personal insights into the Troubles and why Belfast is Belfast.
Stephen gave possibly the best Viator tour we have ever had and we have been on many! He was a former driver of the stars and directors of the Game of Thrones series for 6 seasons so his driving skills knowledge and commentary are unmatched. All the stops and places he took us to were spot on beautiful and highly enjoyable. I will highly recommend this tour to our family and friends traveling this way in the future.
This was a great tour. We had plenty of time to see all kinds of things, and never felt rushed. They took very good care of us.
Great value of the tour. It is much lower price than cruise’s tour for the same destination. Paddy knows Belfast and surrounding very well. Very well paced.
We happened to be in Belfast in a bad day! There was much unrest in the city so it greatly affected the course of our intended journey. Our driver and guide Stephen was fabulous, got us to the castle, the giants causeway and rope bridge before making the decision that is was in our best interest to head back to the ship. He was very concerned with our safety and well being during the entire trip and kept us informed as to what was happening and how sorry he was.
