Giant's Causeway
Beautiful experience, wonderful tour; for my personal taste, I would have preferred more time on the Giant's Causeway than in the city of Belfast As a Game of Thrones fan, the forest was incredible, even in the rain

Dublin to Dark Hedges, Giant's Causeway, Ballintoy, Belfast
Getting up early is worth it for this tour. We left from Dublin. There's a Starbucks near the meeting point at Molly Mallone statue that is open. We arrived at the statue at 6am. Tour operator got there closer to 6:20am. Our driver, Paddy, was great! He talked a bit on the way out of Dublin city ctr and then let us snooze. Our first stop (an A1 gas place) about 1.5 hr later was nice to stretch our legs and use toilets. Dark Hedges is on a now private road. Our smaller coach parked near the start of the road and we could walk down it. There was some farm equipment and cars going down the road. Pretty countryside! Giant's Causeway was amazing! We did not go into the visitors ctr due to time constraints (and you pay extra). Toilets are outside the Causeway Hotel. We walked down the road to the basalt columns, pretty cool! Paddy also took our lunch order for later, you stop at Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy to eat and pay. Since we were in a small coach, Paddy drove us down to Ballintoy Habour before lunch, to see a filming location for GoT. We saw a seal and there's a cave. Our last part of the tour, we got to spend about 1.5 hr in Belfast, drop off near the city hall. We opted to get coffee at Black Sheep to relax and charge our phones. On the drive back to Dublin there was another pit stop at a gas/food place for snacks, drinks, toilets. We were lucky with beautiful weather. Arrived back in Dublin around 7:30pm.
Wonderful experience
Excellent! Loved all of it! Jonathan is a great guide.
Excellent!
Excellent tour! Dark Hedges was neat to see but not near as amazing as Giants Causeway. Giants Causeway was beautiful & our guide was great. Highly recommend!
