We were in awe by the location of our hotel (Causeway Hotel) and the ability to watch the sun set on the water. It was beautiful. Since we were still a little jet lagged, we neglected to shut our blackout curtains before going to bed and the sun was shining in really brightly at 3:30am! We got up for the... More

Fantastic views, a great self guided tour and a wonderful stroll up to the Giant's Causeway. The views are breath taking, we took the Causeway Coastal route - highly recommended if you're driving there. Plenty of car parking spaces just outside the entrance. Queues were fine and very efficient. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The self guided tour... More

A fabulous site-stunning views and walks. Hint: to save money, do not visit the visitors center or use their parking lot. You can experience The Giants Causeway for free if you park up the road.

Giant's Causeway is an amazing sight and they have done a very good job with the visitor centre of making quite a lot out of it. The price is extortionate though and the commentary on the audio guide is incredibly irritating, I was close to throwing my player off the top of the cliff. It was a wonderful day when... More

thought it was a cheek to have to pay a euro to get the courtesy bus back to visitor centre - should be included in entrance price

This is one of those places you just have to see. It's simply unique and will inspire people in many different ways. Leaving aside the arguments about whether you should pay or not, we didn't have a problem with the visitors centre and found it a source of information. The National Trust do have to make money any way they... More

We were driving from Belfast west to Donegal and diverted to the Giant's Causeway. This is a long drive on Irish roads but really something to see. It is a long steep walk to the thousands of rocks and it was cold and very windy (you need to dress warmly) but fortunately there is a bus we used for the... More

One of the most beautiful parts of Northern Ireland! A must see for anyone traveling in Ireland. It's a little bit of a hike down to it, but well worth the trip. The views there are beautiful. A must do on your bucket list!

Have read lots of complaints about the cost of Giant's Causeway, but if you are fit you are not forced to park outside the expensive visitor centre and pay £8.50 each to go in. We walked to Giant's Causeway from nearby Portballintrae, and only entered the visitor centre in order to use the toilet, and as we are National Trust... More

The Giant's Causeway is one of just two UNESCO heritage listed sites in all of Ireland and it is a sight I have always wanted to see and I was not disappointed. It is truly a magnificent natural formation and enjoyed every minute of my visit. I walked down to the causeway from the brand new and very shiny visitor's... More
