From Dublin: Giant's Causeway Tour and Whiskey Tasting
★★★★½4.8 · 92 reviews
About This Tour
This is a full-day adventure that takes you from Dublin up through Northern Ireland to the Antrim coast, finishing with something most Giant’s Causeway tours skip entirely - a proper whiskey tasting in Belfast. The coach heads north early, with your guide sharing stories and local history as the Irish countryside rolls past the window.
The first stop is Dunluce Castle, a dramatic medieval ruin perched on basalt cliffs above the Atlantic. You get time for photographs before continuing to the Giant’s Causeway itself, where 90 minutes gives you enough time to walk the hexagonal basalt columns, explore the coastal paths, and take in the sheer scale of the place. The Dark Hedges - that tunnel of ancient beech trees made famous as the Kingsroad in Game of Thrones - gets a dedicated 20-minute stop on the way back.
The day wraps up at Titanic Distillers in Belfast’s Thompson Dock. This is the actual shipyard where the RMS Titanic was built in 1911, now converted into a working distillery. You will taste their locally produced whiskey in a setting that feels unlike any other distillery in Ireland - all industrial heritage and maritime history. At 85 EUR including all entrance fees and the whiskey tasting, this packs serious value into a single day.
