Route Overview
This Belfast shore excursion is specially designed for cruise tourists, allowing you to explore the natural wonders and historical culture of Northern Ireland within a limited stay. The itinerary will take you to the world-famous natural heritage "Giant's Causeway" and the mysterious landscape known as the "Dark Hedges", and then return to the city of Belfast to visit the city's landmarks and cultural relics. The whole journey will be accompanied by a Chinese driver and guide to ensure that you have no obstacles to deeply understand the wonderful stories of Northern Ireland.
We will meet you at Belfast Port at 8:00 in the morning and drive you to the first stop - Giant's Causeway. Located on the Antrim coast in the north of Belfast, the Giant's Causeway takes about 1.5 hours by car. It is a spectacular volcanic geological wonder, composed of tens of thousands of hexagonal basalt columns. Legend has it that this is the "bridge" built by the giant Finn McCool to travel to Scotland to fight another giant, making this unique natural landscape full of mystery. You can walk along the plank road, admire these strange stone columns up close, take pictures of the magnificent landscape, and feel the power and beauty of nature.
After leaving the Giant's Causeway, we will head to another famous attraction, the Dark Hedges. The Dark Hedges is a tree-lined path made up of ancient beech trees. The branches intertwine in the air to form a dark arched tunnel, as if leading to a mysterious world. This is the filming location for many film and television works, especially the American TV series "Game of Thrones". The mysterious atmosphere and unique natural landscape of the Dark Hedges will add a touch of fantasy to your journey.
In the afternoon, we will return to the city of Belfast to begin exploring the city's history and culture. First, we will visit Belfast City Hall from the outside. The City Hall is a stately Victorian-style building that symbolizes the glorious history of Belfast. The memorial garden here contains a monument to the victims of the Titanic, commemorating that tragic history. You can take photos around the City Hall to experience the grandeur and cultural depth of this building.
Next, we will go to Belfast's unique Peace Wall and mural area. The murals here record the history and conflict of Northern Ireland's "Troublesome Times". Through colorful artistic expressions, they show the religious and political situation at the time and express the beliefs and emotions of local residents. The tour guide will explain this complex history in detail and take you to a deeper understanding of Belfast's past and current peace efforts.
After the trip, we will send you back to the port at the designated time to ensure that you return to the cruise ship on time and end the day's exploration relaxed and worry-free. I hope that this day trip to Belfast will allow you to experience the natural wonders and profound cultural heritage of Northern Ireland and add beautiful memories to your journey.
Giant's Causeway - A famous natural wonder in Northern Ireland, it is composed of about 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns, and its unique geological form is breathtaking. This spectacular landscape was formed by volcanic activity 60 million years ago. The columns look like steps leading to the sea, giving people the inspiration of the legend that giants once walked here. Giant's Causeway is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Visitors can stroll along the coast and enjoy its magnificent natural scenery and the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.
Dark Hedges - A mysterious tree-lined path consisting of about 150 intertwined beech trees, forming a natural tree arch tunnel with a unique and charming atmosphere. This path was built in the 18th century and was originally the private road leading to the Stuart family's Grace Hill mansion. It still attracts many tourists and photography enthusiasts to take pictures. It has appeared in film and television works such as "Game of Thrones", making it one of Northern Ireland's famous landmarks.
【Peace Wall】 — The Peace Wall is a 5-meter-long wall built to ease religious conflicts in Northern Ireland, separating Catholic and Protestant communities. These walls are painted with a large number of murals reflecting history and hope for peace, and have become an important cultural site for tourists to understand the history of the Belfast conflict. The Peace Wall is not only a physical separation, but also a symbol of historical pain and the possibility of reconciliation, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit and think.
