Scotland ferry to Giants Causway?

Hi! Does anyone know the feasability of talking the ferry from Scotland to Belfast, and seeing the Giants Causway? Is there a tour from Belfast to the Giants Causeway? Could it been done in a day, or would you need to spend the night?

It may be better to take a ferry from Cairnryan to Larne. There are buses from the harbour along the coast to Giant´s Causeway and Portrush.<BR>www.causewaycoastandglens.com

Kate,<BR><BR>Where in Scotland are you travelling from? You can fly very cheaply with Easyjet or Go from Glasgow to Belfast in 30 minutes. I don't think it's too far from the airport to Giant's Causeway so you can easily do the trip in one day.

The ferry is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on where you start and end, and which ferry you take.<BR><BR>The easyjet fares are very reasonable, but get more expensive the closer you get to the dates of travel.<BR><BR>

Are they still doing the ferry route from Scotland to Ballycastle ? Not sure if that was cancelled. As mentioned, the Causeway is easily doable in one day but if you can stay overnight there's plenty of sights. Try to see Portbradden, Dunseverick, Torrhead and Murlough Bay, nearby. There are some great clifftop walks in the whole area. Stop in at the Bushmills Inn near the Bushmills distillery for a drink/coffee/lunch. You can travel round the coast towards Belfast passing Cushendall, Waterfoot etc. Glenariff Country Park & waterfall was nice I heard. Best to hire a car for the day to get the most out of it I think.
