Our first place to see. The views are stunning. It is amazing to see the beauty created by our very own planet! A geological marvel.

This is everything you'd expect & more. One of the most unique things I've ever seen. Make sure if you are in Ireland or Northern Ireland you make the trip to see this. It is worth it!

We have just had our yearly motorcycle tour it to Northern Ireland for the annual NW200 races with days either side riding the beautiful Antrim coast and into Donegal. Last year we had to park miles away from the causeway due to work being carried out on the new centre which was quite understandable, but imagine our shock when arriving... More

The sheer powerful of nature and of god is amazing. It is mid-boggling to think how this place must have come into being. I have been here before and when in Northern Ireland, I will always visit here. When we visited previously the new visitor centre did not exist. I did not think the visitor centre adds much to the...

Giant’s Causeway. Could also be called “the giants rip-off”. Adults are charged almost £9 each, simply to just walk through the new visitors centre. The centre comprises of 2/3 revenue generating gift shop and 1/3 display area, which is reasonably interesting (but of more interest/benefit to children). However, what is not abundantly clear is that YOU DO NOT have to... More

We were there in august 2012, rain was falling like mad. But the nature is beautiful and even the rain couldn't stop us to take a walk down to the Causeway. It is really a wonder of nature. You can go by foot to the stones or take the bus that is taking people up and down. It was 1... More

Be sure to get the audio guide to give a great insight to this spectacular formation. Walk down to the causeway from the interpretive centre. It is really quite an awesome sight. You can take the public bus back up the hill to the interpretive centre at a cost of one euro.

This was my very favorite adventure that we went on in Ireland. I was utterly amazed at the beauty and how it is geologically created. Take advantage of the recording and headphones because it just adds more fun to it. the legends are fun too. There is some walking but you can always pay to take the trolly/bus if you... More

This is a great stop.. It is a very nice walk wear comfortable shoes though.. The coastline is amazing and the rock formations are something to be seen. There is ample room to play on the rocks and enjoy the coastal setting, be cautios some are slippery. It is a great place to take photos, worth a visit in Northern... More
