Dalriada Kingdom Walking Tour of The Giant’s Causeway

What is the Giant’s Causeway?

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Giant’s Causeway is a vast natural pier made up of over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns that jut into the sea from the Northeast coast of Antrim.

The Legend of the Giant’s Causeway

Legend has it that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill built the causeway so he could walk across to Scotland and do battle with the Scottish giant, Benandonner.

However, modern geologists disagree and say that the columns were left by volcanic eruptions over 60 million years ago.

If you want to experience the real Giant's Causeway, We highly recommend this walking tour of the site with Dalriada Kingdom Tours.

Who are the tour guides?

Since the early seventeenth-century, local guides have accompanied tourists to the Giant’s Causeway, entertaining and informing them by pointing out interesting rock formations and telling local legends.

Today, Dalriada Kingdom Tours continues this tradition. Mark Rogers and his tour guides, who grew up in the local area, delight in offering an experience that blends traditional storytelling with modern-day techniques. On this tour, you’ll experience the Irish gift for the gab, that’s for sure!
