Giant's Causeway
Upon arrival at the Giant’s Causeway, you’ll have ample time to fully immerse yourself in this extraordinary natural landmark. The site features more than 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, formed over 60 million years ago by intense volcanic activity. These striking hexagonal pillars create a dramatic landscape unlike anywhere else in the world.
Legend adds a mythical layer to the experience. According to Celtic folklore, the causeway was built by the giant Finn McCool as a bridge to confront his Scottish rival, Benandonner. Whether you lean toward scientific explanation or ancient legend, walking among these unique formations is an awe-inspiring experience that invites reflection and wonder.
Don’t miss the recently upgraded Giant’s Causeway Visitor Centre, where interactive exhibits deepen your understanding of the site’s geology, history, and mythology. The centre also features a shop offering high-quality, locally crafted souvenirs—perfect mementos of your visit.
After exploring the Causeway, we’ll stop for lunch nearby, giving you the chance to sample some of Northern Ireland’s finest local cuisine before continuing southwards towards vibrant Belfast city.
Guest note: Your entrance fees for Giant's Causeway are included for ease of access on the day.

Time for Lunch
Following your visit to the Giant's Causeway, you'll have time for a quick lunch stop locally. Look forward to visiting a good local pub or cafe to refuel before the ownward journey to Belfast.
Many local establishments feature traditional fish and chips, prepared with fresh fish sourced from the nearby fishing villages of Ballycastle and Ballintoy. These small harbours supply the region with high-quality, sustainably caught seafood, including whitefish, crab, lobster, and mussels. As a result, menus often highlight local specialities such as seafood chowder, shellfish platters, and the ever-popular crispy cod and chips—often enjoyed with a pint of local craft beer or a glass of chilled wine.
If seafood isn’t your preference, there’s plenty of traditional comfort food on offer too—think slow-cooked Irish stew, homemade meat pies, and melted cheese toasties made with regional ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty sit-down meal or a quick bite, this stop offers a delicious and authentic taste of County Antrim’s food culture before your private journey continues to Belfast.
Guest note: lunch is at your own expense to allow flexibility and choice
